I'm kinda new to ecigs. Started with a couple evods and tanks. No problems.
then decided to try a dripper set up. Got the Smokteck rda mini and a cheap mod and some batteries and off I went. Decided to build a coil. One of my first builds was 4 turns of 28 awg kanthal on some 2 mm silica. I stupidly put the battery in the mod upside down (negative to the top, positive at the bottom on the button). Didn't lock the button while making adjustments to the coil with my index finger. Pow...pain to my index finger. Felt like a burn, but I ended up with what appears to be a cauterized 1 inch cut in the finger tip. It's healing up, but I'm obviously a tard.
Backwards battery placement in a mod energizes the outside case when the fire button is pressed. That was the first mistake. Not locking the fire button while the tank was off was the second mistake.
Be careful. My career is in electronics and I understand electricity. This was a bonehead move. Be careful....it freaking hurts!
