Is it just me or does every single thing you drop while working on vape gear bounces underneath the desk or table you are working on? Every... single... time. Sometimes multiple times.... and never where I can reach it while still sitting. From tiny screws to rda caps, drip tips, juice tops, 18350 batteries... and the list goes on.

Of course now that I'm typing this I realize that I could just be an incredible klutz, but it only seems to happen with vape stuff. I deal with electronics with all kinds of little pieces and don't seem to have the same problem.

I also may be over-analyzing this and should go to bed.

All the furniture i have is "roll under proof" since its either a chair or has no legs.

I did drop my rsst at my friends place once though and it rolled under his couch which he had not moved or cleaned under since he moved in. Oh the horror when i discovered the top cap had come off and the deck was covered with icky looking dust balls :facepalm:

This is exactly why I learned to hate any round tooby PV starting with my eGo's. I quickly switched to box mod types because if they fall over... they just sit there.

Lazy box mods...

On topic, I still haven't found a luer lock and stray pieces of kanthal. And a grommet. Probably vacuumed up.

After losing a couple RDA fiddly bits in the same manner, I fell back into a habit I had when working with my radio control fiddly bits. I put down a old hand towel on my workspace and work off of it. Screws, tools, etc no longer roll off the table. The odd juice spill is easily absorbed and when I'm done, I pile my tools, meter and wire in the center and fold the hole thing up like a burrito and set it aside until the next time.

Put a towel on the table.. if small parts drop they wont bounce around. Works with R/C building :0 will work for e smoke building as well.

I've put a spare towel at bottom of my couch tucked under where I frequent while building cleaning etc my Vape stuff, I got tired of having to get up and move the dang couch to fetch what I just dropped, lol.

Great idea...... cuz that's where mine usually go!!
