N00b stuff - Weird things we do as e-cig n00bs.

When I got my first ego-t (tornado that cost me 80 for a basic kit) I didn't know how to clean an atty. I looked around the forums and decided blue crest was the best option. I must have gotten the wrong stuff, and now I have an atty I can pick out in a blind smell test that makes all juices taste like crest.

vaping s the most amazing experience ive ever had; ive been a smoker for 30, yes 30 years!!! and have never gone more than 12 hours without a cig in that time (between 30-50 per day). I am (was) without doubt the worst smoker ive ever known I started on Marl reds, through a French brand called Disque Blu and on to Camel, its been horrendous for those living with me. I once quit for (nearly) 1 day, my girlfriend at the time of 6 years moved out within 12 hours (moved to parents) and I gave up giving up after 22 hours - i was evil!!
I HAVE NOW BEEN ANALOGUE FREE FOR 6 DAYS and not had a single craving, im pleasant, good humoured and dont smell! If anyone ever wants a recommendation for these products please do not hesitate to contact me. This product has changed my life (and ive already saved £71.00 GBP $112.16)

Hello and Welcome to ECF, if you want to post an introduction, you can start your own thread in the New Members Forum...also try and make it sound less like an ad. I'm very happy to read about your giving up smoking. Just start a new thread, so we can all welcome you properly

There's a giant hole in my blanket...so when I'm bored sometime's, I'll cover my face, bunch and prop up the blanket with pillows and towels, and pretend to be a volcano...I'm also thinking about getting a laser pointer...

My morning was strange ... woke up to a not so good phone call, then NEEDED coffee right away AND my morning vape RIGHT NOW.
So I'm standing at the kitchen counter with phone to the ear, PV in hand, bottle of juice (I only drip) and a cup of coffee that needed creamer. I dripped Half&Half right into the atty.

I'm getting used to tasting juice with these crazy mouthpieces. I need some type of tank carto that will not allow me to suck up juice. I think I almost puked outside future shop today when I sucked a bunch of juice up trying to get a good pull. Sometimes addiction takes over rational thought and you just suck too hard and oops.

Today I learned the Taryn spin and spun liquid out the condom cuz im an idiot sometimes. I learned how to mess it up!

I'm just really really glad that I know what you're talking about... otherwise that would sound just...wrong. lol

In order of occurance:

Rolled down my window while driving to toss my .... and barely caught myself from tossing out my PV and ended up flinging it into the backseat.

Arrived home and was looking everywhere for my PV so I could take it in with me when the wife says, "Babe, it's in your hand." I was shocked to find she was right and it was in my left hand.

Mixing my own juice and deep in thought as to how I wanted to attempt a new flavor and grabbed my PV, that is setup to drip and test mixes, and drip a few drops in and vape straight flavoring. I still reuse flavoring bottles to hold my mixes, but step away from the area to go into deep thought and vape.

Oh man this thread is hilarious, I love it!

 

[ctourtelot]

I used to work for an ecig retail store and there were numerous occasions where my customers accidently tossed them out the windows of their cars and one guy that chucked his into a campfire.

I think we've all been there lol

 

[dlsw]

Welcome and yes I used to stick the wrong end in my mouth and wonder why it didn't work.

I have done that too! Thank god it wasn't a lit analog. (Although I do remember some unpleasant times lighting the wrong end).

I had just gotten a new box of cartos and opened one up and filled it with juice, but when I started vapiing...NOTHING! I thought, 'oh no, my first bad carto dang!' Started to chuck it right then and there, but for some reason decided to open it back up, and lo and behold, the little pointy insert thing from the condom had somehow gotten INSIDE the carto! DAH! And I don't know how many times I've stuck my PV in my mouth and gotten nothing because I've forgotten to take the condom off first!

I think it's safe to say that condoms in all forms take away from the pleasure.

When I first started vaping, I tried to light the end of my e-cig on numerous occasions.

Also, *every* single time I've tried to slip up and have a analog? I've lit the wrong end of the cigarette. So, yeah, I think the universe pretty much decided I'm not smoking again.

Stuff like that always happens to me when I hold two things at once...the other day I got my ear wet as I answered my opened water-bottle...also I leave the remote or phone in the fridge a lot....I'm gunna be a doctor! (seriously)...

Also when I'm vaping in my room at night in the dark, I hold my provari up with my index finger just on the button, and pretend to be E.T

I ruined a few batteries like that!! I now keep lighters put up as every now and then I will grab my pv and go on a lighter hunt, go figure!

 

[cags]

I can't use my tv remote and pv at the same time or I end up pushing the pv button repeatedly instead of the remote. and I'm always sticking the wrong end of the pv in my mouth.

My friend came to my desk and picked up my pv and tried to write with it.

 

[northofamerica]

Every time someone asks me for a lighter at work I pull out my pv without thinking. I keep it in the same jacket pocket as my lighter used to sit. They should make one with a built in lighter for the vapers that still like analogs. Dual purpose! Swiss army PV anyone?

Today I tried dripping for the first time without a mouthpiece on a type a atomizer. It was tasting like metal all day so I pulled the wick spike out and started dripping for a test. It gurgled a bit and popped a bunch of juice into my mouth cuz I put too much in. The chocolate mint cookie i put in was so tasty i tried again and didn't learn my lesson the first time. Now I got a type a carto stuck in there as a mouth piece. Juice in the mouth is ok since I can rinse with mouthwash and diminish the burn. When it pops in the back of your throat and you swallow. Ugh

This was a great idea for a thread! I didn't think so many of you would post and I am super glad! Thanks for all the likes. Soon I can post in big boy/girl forums hahaha

Lessee, new vaper tricks...

The first kit I got was one of those cheapie crap minis, the automatic draw type that you pick up at the local cigarette store because it a) looks like a cigarette and b) they sell the preloaded cartridges. So I tried valiantly, having read that you could buy juice and refill things, to refill those cartridges. I'm pleased to say that it worked about 75% of the time. (The other 25% of the time, I'd get a mouthful of juice. Ew.)

I forgot to wash my hands after reloading my eGo-T tank. Went about my business, then yawned and rubbed my eyes, as it was getting late at night. OW. Never get juice in your eyes. If and when you DO get juice in your eyes, I strongly advise AGAINST using one of the eyedrops (like Visine) that has PG in it, because that doesn't help as you already PUT PG in your eyes (along with all that nicotine). This was something I was unaware of. Hey, who reads Visine bottles, other than to assume it'll make the burning-eyes better? Should this ever occur to you (although it won't, as you're far more intelligent than I am and always wash your hands after filling tanks and getting juice on your fingers), get an actual eyewash, like a Bausch & Lomb-type eyewash that's JUST mild saline solution, and rinse thoroughly. It helps for the couple of days of irritated-eyelids you'll have.

Not drinking enough causes you to sound like you just smoked a whole pack of cigarettes. No lie. Combine that with being exhausted (or having gotten juice in your eyes), so that your eyes are red, and have disheveled hair, and people start giving you odd looks as you're puffing on something which looks like a long cylinder. Yes, someone thought I was a strung-out drug addict smoking a crack pipe. They got over it.

Oh. And hamsters also do not like the smell of juice on fingers. They jump out of your hands and you then do a merry chase trying to catch the little beastie (with those juice-scented hands). Again, another promo for washing hands.

I'm much better now. Really.
