Ouch! I just inhaled boiling liquid

[GBX4]

It's agony. My windpipe hurts when I take a deep breath. It didn't go as far as my lung - it cooled before that.

I started a new job and I was out in the smokers shelter in a gale force wind, I had the metallic taste from my AGA-T2 but I ignored it or didn't notice it, anyway, there was a hot spot and I was drawing deeply, the result is i'm in serious pain. It seems to be down the left side of my throat inside somewhere.

I just wanted to warn people. Don't Inhale super-heated gas.

It hurts.

Matching the T2 to a mech mod can be a tricky business.

More likely SUPER heated AIR not liquid.you are always vaping boiling w-liquid.

Been there, done that.

How does this happen? I don't run any mechs, just my MVP2 and vv v3. I just use clearos on them as well. Like my iclear30, iclear30s, t3s, evod ect.

I would like to know as well so that i am careful.

This sounds terrifying. Worst ive done so far is take an angry 6+ second drag on a vamo with protank that had somehow set itself to 15watts. Taste like burning

in cold weather geney's won't wick properly,,so what you got was a dry hit ,,[super heated air]

 

[AegisPrime]

That's what you get for vaping a LavaTube

(Sorry! Couldn't help it I wouldn't want a mouthful of boiling e-liquid either )

Dry hits or hot spots are the worst. I had a hot spot vaping with 1.5 mm ribbon a couple of months ago. The throat feels like it's on fire. It clears up in about 3-4 days

Ya, that's unlikely to be a boiling liquid issue, rather a hot air/burnt hit thing. But yes, it can be really nasty. Hope you're OK!

I've had a few really burnt hits with RBAs too. Tasted awful, but didn't hurt. Maybe I've just been lucky. Then again, I make it a point to always fix a hot spot before I take the next hit, they always get worse. My bad burnt hits always happen if the first indication of trouble is during a deep mouth inhale. I started lung inhaling a couple of months ago and that helps because you taste the drag as you inhale, but you still have to stop right away and not try it again.

It was my own fault, it wouldn't have happened if i'd been careful. I didn't treat my RBA with the respect it deserves. It was a combination of errors, I made a rushed attempt at a coil, didn't check the resistance, then used a mechanical mod with a newly charged battery. I think I need a separate set up for when I'm busy at work, and keep my RBA for home use.

I'm feeling much better this morning, the inflammation must be going down because I can breathe deep again. Thanks.

Good to hear you're doing OK now GBX4! All this stuff has a learning curve. My last winner was when I was setting up a new coil on a RDA and touched the side of my finger on a just red hot coil. I will never, ever, ever, do that again :

It was a nice tight wrap though, wasn't it ...

Nice tattoos bro! What do they mean?

If it's any consolation, I had a chainring tattooed in the back of my calf from falling off a mountain bike.

Lasted literally 3 - 4 months.

Taught me to clean my chain more often, too.
