I have been vaping my all day vape happily with no problems with loss of taste. Yesterday morning, I was kind of sleepy :oops: and when I made my coffee in my K-cup machine, I noticed it tasted funky. Really funky. I had already left the house by the time I took my first sip, so I was desperate for caffeine and continued to drink until half was gone and I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't get the funky taste out of my mouth all day, no matter what I did. To make matters worse, it made my vape taste funky. Now, my first vape of the day with my coffee is my all time favorite vape, so somebody was going to have to answer for ruining it.

Turns out I was the guilty party. :blush:

When I got home, I went to make a fresh cup of coffee and when I opened the water tank, I noticed a sickeningly sweet smell. I checked the empty bottle from the water I had filled the tank with that morning, and in my semi-conscious state, I had poured a large bottle of my husband's grape flavored water into the machine. YUCK! The bottles look the same except for a teeny tiny picture of grapes and flavored water written in small type. I scrubbed the machine, ran about eight cups of clean water through it, and it still tasted funky. I scrubbed it again. Finally, this morning, the taste is almost completely gone and I can enjoy my coffee and my vape.

I always try to help new members out, so here is my tip for the day---don't put grape flavored water in your coffeemaker unless you want your vape to taste like a cup of something left over after a party where coffee and cheap wine were poured together while cleaning up (not that I'd know what that tastes like, I'm just guessing :blink:). There is a very good reason the people who make K-cups don't make grape flavored coffee. You can get caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, toffee, chocolate, etc., but NO GRAPE. I'm shuddering just remembering the taste.

I'm glad I could help out those who were planning to try this new taste sensation.

I can't help but laugh...lmao, great tips! :p


Here are my tips:

How to not vape something you aren't supposed to:

In the event of an eye irritation due to eyelashes, do NOT keep eyedrops within a close vicinity to your e-liquid bottles. You will drip them, and it will be disgusting. Trust me, it happened last night.

No way! Really? Oh, yuck times ten. If that happened to me, I might have to go back to drinking my grape coffee just to get the eyedrop taste out of my mouth. I can't begin to imagine what that would taste like. I don't see vendors lining up to sell "Eye Goobie" flavored drops anytime soon.

HAH! HAH! :laugh:

That's worse than the time I mistakenly grabbed the Vick's Vapo-Rub instead of the Vasoline!

:confused:

No...it's not...

:(

See, I knew the ECF community would make me feel better about my boo-boo. I hope you and um, uh, all your parts are recovered from your experience. No more details needed.

Truly. Your support is more than enough.

I'm begging here. No more details.

@ JudeD
I was waiting for you to tell us that you poured ejuice into the water tank. Wow...glad it was only grape water!
And
@SilentEcho
Glad your mixup wasn't the other way around. Wouldn't want you to put ejuice in your eyes. :(

And lastly
@Saboteur
No comment. LOL

Stay safe out there, vapers. It's a dangerous world!
Bullette says woof!

That's what I was expecting to read too LOL.

I THINK the worst vaping faux pas I have done would be...

Bout a month ago I was mixing some juice... Had pipettes and bottles and flavors out... Mixed up a bit into a small bottle, put my finger over the top and shook, then pulled a bit into a pipette to drip(to get an idea of the taste). Then I got called into the kitchen, came back, grabbed up the pipette and dripped 5 drops, hit the button and took a nice heavy draw and...

WRONG pipette! 5 drops of pure koolada, at 11 watts, straight to the lungs.

The lesson to be learned it, when DIY'ing your juice, you can never be too organized.

I screwed up royally once when I was mixing juice. I was making beer juice, so I mixed it up, but it was too weak. So, I pulled down the beer flaving to add more. Now, I was working with 60 mg / ml nicotine & had on safety glasses. Unfortunately, they didn't fit over my regular glasses. Well, instead of beer flavoring, I picked up Pear. I added quite a bit of pear to the mix. Needless to say it tasted terrible. At first I thought, wow does this have to steep! It wasn't 'til later that I noticed that I put in pear flavoring. Note to self: Wear your glasses!
