Slightly...shocking experience.

[Psychomaster]

Wow. Just had a "shorted?" atomizer. I just charged my batteries and started to puff when I had white blips around the outside edges of my eyes and my mouth started twitching. Had no idea what was going on. Thought it might be my batteries (my charger is a TR-001 and is busted/defective), but I decided to switch atomizers. The one atomizer was SHOCKING ME!!! WTF?!?!? I guess it had a short? But anyway, glad the batteries aren't to blame (just ordered a replacement 510 connector, so yay! I will be using my Iatty and not worrying soon!!! Plus, Para is getting a "gift" in the mail as soon as the new connector is here ).

I think i had an atomizer blow up once. I was hitting on one at 8v and all of the sudden, i felt a huge and sudden burst of vapor and then the atty was dead. Never got shocked though

I've popped a few, sometimes they seem close to destructive with the pressure that they can instantly produce.

It is an experience I can live without EVER experiencing again. It probably wouldn't have been that bad, but I like to vape at 7.4volts so I definitely felt it!

What an atomizer is? I forgot that name since I started to vape with my iAtty

I've been playing with my new iAtty myself. Great invention. I just received 1x1mm silver crimp beads and they make a big difference

I'm sitting here trying to figure out how you could possibly get current to your lips through an atty... First, you must've been using a stainless steel drip tip. Second... Well, I guess the only possible way is if the coil somehow grounded to the atty tube, but that seems massively unlikely. If the atty's male connector grounded it it should short down from there, not pass the current up to you. Very, very odd. First time I've ever heard of it.

I have experienced something similar but my atty did not die, it felt like someone blew a puff of air from a compressor out of the atty, freaked me iout.

Yep! Used my SS drip tip from TW. It's a shorty and has lasted me around a year so far . It is the first time I have ever experienced something like that, and instead of keeping it in my jar I go through when I have nothing else available, I tossed it. I do not want to shock myself too much. I DID accidentally drop my GGTS a couple of times, but I don't think it fell THAT hard. I will chalk this up to a strange occurrence and hope it never happens again.

BTW, it was a 5ohm 901 atty from Vaporkings. Just FYI.

Yo Pysco, I'll take that SS tip - don't throw it away.

Not throwing away my trust DT!!! I threw away the shorted atomizer, lol. I am not keeping a tool that decides to shock its owner! I probably shoulda been more clear that the jar I spoke about is the atty "graveyard" I go through it when I am out of atties (or my Iatty needs materials, I guess. Haven't had it long and waiting on a connector from COV to be able to put it in with adapters again) But still, thanks for the offer, lol.

Could be fun at a local vapefest...

I have yet to throw an atty out. 6 months and I'm rotating the same 10. Ultrasonic cleaner with vodka and dry in the sun for 3 hours. I hope I never get shocked !! That doesn't sound fun.

It isn't. BELIEVE you me. Took a while to figure it out too, so that sucked.

Haha, I was going to keep it to prank a couple of friends and relatives, but some of them are concerned on the "safety" of e-cigs, so it's best I dont even mention the incident to them, let alone try and prank them. It could end disastrously!

You could just keep that atty for helping convert smokers to vaping. It will help you demonstrate that you get a much better "hit" from vaping than from cigs

Totally mighta worked! HAHAHA. Come one, come all (smokers). This device truly gives you the feeling you need, to properly quit cigarettes!
