How Many Times?

[Mike Sheda]

How many times will it take me dumping a pro tank full of juice to make sure the right part is unthreading from the battery when I go to switch tanks for a different flavor? Nothing like absentmindedly screwing it off and getting warm e-liq all over your hands and all over the desk. Sheesh!

lol ive done that with my evods before, i always take them off upside down now. unscrew the protank from the very bottom

I've not had that happen with my Protank, but then I make sure to unscrew from the bottom and that the bottom is tightly screwed in to the tank to begin with.

Only took once for me. Now I always look when I do it.

I have done that with my MT3...I also turn it upside down to take it off (just in case), but usually turning it upside down reminds me to pay attention.

I've been lucky with my Mini Nova, it seems the bottom threads for the tank/head are either reverse-threaded or just very stiff since I haven't changed heads yet, and I can safely unscrew by the tank itself, though I do try and hold it by the bottom ring regardless. Little tough on my Vamo cause it sits flush but I figure the answer to your question, for me at least, is no times. I hate having to clean up a mess like high-VG nicotine-laced liquid all over my keyboard..done it once from spilling a bottle and don't plan to do it again.

Honestly, why don't tank makers reverse-thread the head connector anyhow to prevent mishaps like this? Would cost maybe another two cents per tank for the 'left-handed' threader and such..

Evod on the Zmax mini gets me sometimes, you would think we would learn.

 

[Mike Sheda]

And now I just did the opposite. Many times I will just add juice by unscrewing the body and leaving the coil base on the battery. I must need more coffee. Just tried to do that, and the base stayed on the body. Couldn't understand why the level wasn't rising... until it overflowed the base of the EVOD. DOH!

At least one more time than the last time it happened to you...

I always hold the battery upside down when removing bottom coils. Even if I do get an EVOD stuck, no mess. The Protank is a little easier because it's not recessed. After adopting my contortions, I've not had a single mishap, and am very aware of this potential after juice dumping myself several times. Wait till you get to carto tanks.

Well, I did it once, learned to be awake and look when I remove my tank - "tay appention dummy"
