My Bad Luck With Volt's

[scratchy]

So I got one of the freebie batteries less than a week ago. Put a fresh new carto on it the next day, did some errands, and lost the battery by the time I got back home. Yesterday I go out for drinks, and dunk another one of my batteries into a glass of pineapple vodka by accident and killed the battery .

Sounds like "if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all"> Jeesh, what a bummer. Maybe your should get a lanyard so you don't drop 'em or lose 'em. Heck, I remember my name by the ID tag I wear!

I stuck one of mine into a cup of (thankfully) cold coffee one time when I wasn't paying attention. Yep. Pretty dead. But I put it in a sealed bag of rice for about a week and lo! and behold! It LIVES again! Don't try to draw on it first. Get it dried off and in rice asap.

In the last couple weeks....a 78 died, stuck one in coffee accidently, x2 died and the x2 replacement didn't work right.
I totally understand. I totally sympathize!

Oh and I love that SI lanyard! It really comes in handy around the house to hang my ecigs (both 78 & x2) from and have them handy. I'm glad I got it.

Sorry for your troubles, Scratchy. I still think e cigs is way more fiddley than smoking but....I really cannot continue to smoke. It is starting to affect my health and my mental peace of mind. There are people all over this little town on oxygen tanks from smoking. I really don't want to end up being one of them.

E cigs is definitely the best I have ever done on cutting down on cigs and I think I really can quit if I hang in there.

The lanyard has helped me in the yard. Know how you feel about the batteries. I had one X2 die and one 78mm. I had bought another X2 but then when the 78mm died I panicked and bought another X-2 900 and 2 more 78mm. I am hoping to be smoke free by the end of my vacation but that is all dependent upon the batteries actually working while I am camping!!!!!!

If something happens go for a disposable first at a gas station or drug store if there's something nearby. Not the best choice but it kept me hanging in there when I didn't have enough stocked up yet and the mailman wasn't coming for another day. I had gone a couple weeks without a cigarette and I figured why go back now. So I plopped down the $10 for a Blu (Walgreens has Blu's for sure) and it lasted me til my shipment came.

scratchy- my freebie 78mm got dropped in a steaming cup of very hot coffee - sorry about your experience but you're in good company.

Jeez, now I gotta quit drinking coffee too?

Awsum, I see your collar but where's the tag?

Knock on wood I haven't killed one yet but while standing alone in my office doing my happy dance after I got a big job offer today I let it fly from my hand, ended up on my hands and knees fishing it and my CE3 which had popped apart out from under a shelf full of files from the last 5 years.... coudn't find the diamond end tip and growled softly as I picked up the phone and paged maintenance... they moved the whole shelf for me and laughed as I plucked the ti up of the ground and carefully reassembled everything and kept dancing... all the while loooking at me like I'm a loon... but I'll be danged if they get any bit of my goodies left here .... mwahahaha cleaning my desk off as I type this making notes and writing my resignation letter...

[balbrt1]

So sorry to hear about your batts. I had 5 78's until last night..Could not find 1 of the batts . Knew it was in the house until hubby found it in the dog bed with my dog sleeping acting like she had done nothing wrong. She decided the batt would look better if you chewed off the pretty tip. Needless to say that batt got trashed...

 

[MidwestMom]

[Renolizzie]

Penny likes snything metal so I better make sure she doesn't get her paws on one of my batts.
