It had to happen!

[FantWriter]

I'm still relatively new to vaping, and I still rely on analogs when/where I can't vape.

Yesterday, I popped a fresh carto onto what I thought was a freshly charged battery as I left the house. Less than a mile down the road, the battery flashed that it was empty, and I realized I'd picked up one waiting for recharging rather than just off the recharger.

Oh, well, no biggie -- I always have a spare pack of analogs in the glove compartment. I lit one up, took a couple of drags, and dropped it into my pocket, just like I do an e-cig. It took a few moments to go from "what's that odd feeling?" to "OMG!!!"

I'm not sure exactly what words/terms I should use on this forum, so all I can say is that there are two areas of tissue on the upper chest region which, although biologically useless on a man, are relatively tender, and one of mine now has a large blister on it.

I also have a large hole in a new $47 shirt.

But this also raises the question -- how do you handle an e-cig between puffs? I can't stand to have anything like a lanyard around my neck. They don't seem to balance properly in ashtrays. I have a colorful little pouch/sleeve, but it's a hassle getting it out every time.

I've just been dropping it into my pocket, but obviously that can be a dangerous habit.

What do y'all do?

I pocket mine and since I do not have any anologs (none for 5+ months now) it is not an issue. I can see if I was smoking how that could happen and man that sucks! Best of luck to you and I hope you were alone when that happened

That, right there, is funny stuff.

At home, mine is pretty much glued to my face right now, but it will sit in a pen holder or on my computer desk on it's side like it's not supposed to. In the car, my center console has a small hole for a couple pens to fit, so it sits in there, but my passthrough sits on it's side, like it's not supposed to, LOL. And, while I'm at work, it sits in my jacket pocket inside a tool pouch I got a Home Depot.

Hope your "two areas of tissue on the upper chest region" get better soon!

Ow! Sounds like you have a BOOBoo.
Sorry, I had to do it.

 

[keyzygirl]

LOL!!BOOBoo,very funny,hope you heal quickly!!

 

[Lokiran]

Wow that sucks...

I'm becoming a bit of an ego loyalist so I usually have it sitting upright within arms length or when I'm at my computer I have my pass-through just lying there in my old-moderately sized- glasstray. In the car is another pass-through that just gets tossed onto the passenger seat... There's a lesson to be learned in your story of woe... But hopefully I'll never have to resort to an analog.

BOOBoo... classic. I hope you heal fast and, for your sake, with minimal scaring.

Does that mean you have a 3rd one now ???

I bet you never do that again !

I set my BB up vertical on my desk when I'm at the computer. When I'm delivering pizzas I have a little pocket in the middle of a plastic cup-holder job that sits right behind the shifter where I used to keep a lighter (usually). Now it holds the BB.

Yeah, I got the "hot pocket" from my Prodigy V3 while playing a rock show at a wedding a few weeks back. The Prodigy has a screw down button that you can use to turn the unit off when not in use, but I slipped it in my back pocket without remembering to screw it down. I was rocking along and started feeling a strange feeling in my back pocket. Huh? What the heck is going on back there?? I had to wait until the song was over to check... and discover that my Prodigy was burning up. Luckily everything was intact. The cart was melted, but the atomizer still worked and the batteries held enough charge to work for the rest of the night.

 

[CoughingBad]

THAT WAS HILARIOUS!!

We better hide this thread before those so called health organizations add this to their list of "why ban the e-cig".

'like it's not supposed to.' why is this? all 3 of my 510's that i have in rotation sit on their side on the kitchen counter. are they supposed to be straight-up?

 

[xg4bx]

my biggest fear is that i'll flick it out the window....

EDIT DELETE: I misunderstood. Re-read your post, and realized my response was really irrelevant. Oops.

You can make your PV perfectly pocket friendly by removing the atomizer. I don't always do that, but I realize I'm taking a chance.

Totally did that with my first 901!

 

[mistinthewoods]

Hey y'all, it was the analog that got her, not the PV. Proving once again that PVs are safer that cigarettes.

 

[throatkick]

Look at it as a positive. You are now a vaper instead of a smoker.

Normally you would want to have them sitting upright so the eJuice does not coming leaking out of the tip. If they are not leaking on you it is no big deal. I purposely let mine sit on their side since 801's can end up holding allot more juice inadvertently and just end up clogging the threads.

Funny story but bad at the same time OP. On a side note I was going to mention the flicking also.

 

[fallon74]

Omg!lol! I put my ecig in my back pocket all the time when I'm out and about I don't smoke analogs anymore so that shouldn't be a problem. Maybe you should give up analogs for good seems like it's more hazardous to your health than you thought.

 

[jagstang]

I flicked my first Joye 510 out the car window when I first started vaping. Had to go back and find it on the side of the road.

Does using a Zippo to 'light' a 510 count?
