I figured someone might get a good little chuckle out of my misfortune... lol

I was leaving the local grocery store and got to my car where I took a puff from my 510 and put it back in my pocket. I got in my car and started to head home and wanted to take another puff or two... I searched all my pockets becoming more and more panicked until I realized that I didn't have it. I searched around my seat hoping that it had fallen out of my pocket into the seat, but alas it had not. It was around this time I noticed a little hole in the bottom of my pocket...

I hurried back to the parking lot where I discovered my beautiful e-cig lying there next to where my car had been parked. I crookedly pulled my car into the spot or two next to it fearing the worst. It was still in one piece, but not without the scars of mistreatment. It appeared that I had ran over the very tip of it (the battery end, unfortunately) and bent the tip into a bit of an oval shape and popped off the now ruined LED cover exposing the battery and LED inside.

I was with my wife, so I had to hold back the tears (lol) as I brought my fallen friend back to the car. I wiped it off a little bit, and gave it a good puff. To my surprise, the LED illuminated, the atty became hot, and a great cloud of vapor poured from my mouth as I exhaled. My dear friend was still alive and kicking!

It looks a little worse for the wear, but it still functions perfectly fine to my knowledge. Try running over an analog cigarette and see if you can still use it! lol.

OMG! I'm sorry, I'm LMAO! I feel bad that you ran over your baby, but you have to understand my visual of a teary eyed dude puffing on a bent & mangled 510!

You know I was really feeling bad and was upset right along with him.... until I saw this post. Now I'M laughing too!!!! I feel so horrible, but I can just see my husband in the same situation..... :lol:

Hahahaha! Ya that's pretty much an accurate description... The real great thing that I didn't mention is that the atty also got a little warped, but it vapes better than my other one. :confused:

It's probably because I've used it more and have broken it in better, but it's still funny to mention regardless.

The 510s are tough - I've dropped mine so many times and the led cap on one of them is long gone but it's still going strong.

Nothing instills panic like reaching into your pocket and finding your PV is missing! I freak out more on that than reaching into my back pocket and discovering I forgot to grab my wallet.

Glad you can still use it. My first batch of 510's all have melted ends as I was not paying attention and trying to light them! Old habits die hard.
