silenced taste, a bad cartomizer and illness

[Liquinator]

Hey there,

I caught a really horrible flu last saturday. No matter how sick I have been in the past I have always smoked/vaped as I always do. Since my nose is running really bad I cannot smell or taste anything. I've noticed a little increase in throat hit in the last two hours of vaping yesterday which had changed all of sudden. Since everything else seemed fine I kept on vaping. Just a few minutes ago I realised that indeed I wasn't smelling anything and therefore wouldn't notice if the carto went bad and I was getting disgusting hits. So I let my girlfriend smell at my vapor and she immeadiatly took a step back because it smelled so bad. So I guess I vaped that bad carto for a couple of hours... *Uargh...*
I just felt like sharing this ...

Yep. I was sick a couple weeks ago. I immediately started washing & sterilizing my driptips more often & changing to fresh cartos. You guys be careful out there. We need healthy vapers.

I also just had the flu and was vaping Bob Marley blood all day before it hit me out of nowhere. I can not even think about the taste and smell of it without wanting to puke haha. I have probably 12ml left if anyone wants it because I will never touch it again.
