How to spill liquid everywhere.

[goonie]

I've done this more than once, so I though it would be nice to share my mistake so that others don't do it.

I use regular 30ml bottles and I also use syringes to fill my rba tank...

When I need to fill my syringe, I usually remove the "dripper top" on the 30ml bottle so I can get the syringe in there. That's not a problem.

The problem is that I forget to put that damn dripper top back on the bottle before screwing on the cap sometimes.

Then when I go to drip a few drops into an atomizer - without looking, I unscrew the cap and pour the *entire* contents of the bottle onto my hand. By the time I realize what I have done, it is already too late and most of the juice is now everywhere.

I've done this about 3 times, even though I constantly remind myself to put the dripper top back in....

sounds like you need to hire a maid .. Make your job a little easier. I would get a larger hypodermic syringe so you can pull all the liquid you need at once and then, fill your syringe. Cap your bottle directly after you pull the liquid in the syringe. After that, then use the syringe to fill your RBA and Walla, no problems.

another fantastic technique is one I mastered after only one try:
when I went to go top off a 1/2 full ProTank for the first time, I went to unscrew it from my mod, only to unscrew the bottom of the protank instead. It's not as effective as dumping a 30ml bottle out, but it's still a valid technique.

I applaud your dedication sir, but sheer volume of liquid loss with the "30ml method" is capable of causing emotional problems.

Until you have spilled a good deal of e-liquid you're still a newbie imho. It happens to me when I'm mixing liquids in 10 ml bottles. Flavour and nic with a pipette, then pour the glycerine by hand from the big bottle into the tiny opening on the 10 ml bottle. This works perfectly unless your hand shakes, the glycerine "comes out funny" or you get an air bubble - great fun!

nothing beats the" table cloth" method.
simply decant your juice/PG/VG into a cool glass eye-dropper bottles. Then go into the kitchen. put all your stuff on the table-clothed table and begin your cleaning regime remembering to tuck the table cloth into your belted trousers so as not to lose any small stuff that escapes your grip and heads for slate floor with many gaps.
Wait for the phone to ring!
simple.
Not only all your juice, but all your syringes (full of juice) all of the small parts and many shards of broken glass on a slippery gappy floor.
Nice mess. not so nice nippy wife.
Good fun.(but not at the time) I think i blamed the said nippy wife as the phone call was for her (isn't it always)

The method I'm in the process of perfecting is removing the top of my kangar t3. The other night I was removing my t3 to charge my battery for the next day. Instead of removing my t3 I just unscrewed the top of a my freshly filled 3ml kangar t3 and it was in my lap, on my desk, in my wifes pomeranians hair. It was everywhere

 

[Sqhertz1]

That sucks.

My method is leaving tops off in the drawer and forgetting that theyre open. When i open the drawer, they tip over. Even though its probably no more than 5ml at a time, the lingering smell of certain liquids can upset the wife lol.

Good thing is i have them sitting in the retail box that my Blu came in (at least its good for something!) so it can catch any spillage.

I've done that twice...mostly towards the end of a drinking binge. It's better than trying to fill your protank (at eye level) with a bottle of Unicorn Blood (trying to get that thick stuff out their bottle is tough)...and having it fly out under pressure all into both eyes, up under your eyelid. I didn't go blind...but lets just say my eyes were red for two days and I had a massive nicotine headache and pressure in my head. Take away? Don't fill your tanks and eye level.

Ha I did this same exact thing with my pro tank.... But the good news is you'll only do it once...

I am an amateur in this field. I have practiced unscrewing clearomizers without looking and have had some degree of success dumping juice over my hand and battery. At less than 1.6 ml per attempt, and only 2 successes, I have a long way to go to get to the big leagues. I am working on a new technique of opening a nova by unscrewing the bottom cap instead of the top. The results are promising and up to 3.5 ml of juice can be wasted each time.

Ok, this is one of the funniest threads I've read in a long time (though the 'eye' one seems a bit dangerous - think I'll try and avoid that one).

My method isn't as efficient as some of those previously mentioned, but it works for me...

I take my Kanger t3 off the battery, put a Q-tip in the mouthpiece, and hold it upside down. Then I get the juice out, uncap it, and start filling the t3 (you might notice, I skipped a step). As I'm watching the juice level through the clearo, I notice it isn't rising. Figuring that the bottle must be clogged, I squeeze harder. It's only when I start to feel the juice run down my fingers that I realize that I failed to REMOVE THE BASE OF THE T3 before trying to fill it, and I have now filled the base and threads with juice, rather than the clearo.

As I said, my method might not be as efficient at spilling juice as some others, but I've done it several times, so what it lacks in quality, I make up in quantity.

Well you folks make it so hard, my way is just knock the bottle over with the top off. Simple, fast and effective.

you win with efficiency, but loose some points for style

 

[Hairlip777]

Once is probably enough.

My latest method has been to put my 10ml eliquid bottle next to my foot after filling tanks, as my counter space is limited.

When you invariably forget about it and stand up and step on it, the results are imminently satisfactory. Not only do you and any spectators get to enjoy an epic, 'banana-peel-like' slip and fall, but the pressure of your weight coming down on the bottle will yield a fantastic jet from the bottle to the wall in a classic moneyshot style. Never seen eliquid move so fast.

It may have only been a 10ml discharge, but I really feel like I got my money's worth.

Now, YOU get style points for that!!

I really have nothing of value to add but you guys/gals have made me laugh so hard my coworkers came in to check on me! Thank you all!
