Stressed and PVs

[Raynen]

My best friend pointed something out: Whenever I'm stressed about something like college or financial issues, all of a sudden my PVs and attys just bug out. My attys don't wick the carts right. My attys taste weird, or burnt. My batteries won't charge right. Pretty much anything that can go wrong just might happen. When I'm fine, my e-cigs are great! Am I alone on this? I hope not.

Actually my wife is experiencing the same thing w/ her fairly new pv setup. Works fine when she doesn't "need" it, starts failing left, right, and center when she is freaking out. I pointed out to her that she tends to rush and make bizarre simple mistakes in her panics usually. Not that I'm suggesting you do. I'm just saying you're not alone. And I feel for you! -Magnus

I think you notice things more when they interrupt the natural flow of things. For example, if I forget my pocket knife, it seems I always find a situation where I need it. If I have it with me, I tend to not have a need for it. I think that that is more in my head, since I just had a task that was perfect for my knife and I had it with me. You notice it more when it fails and you need it the most.

Oh my biggest mistakes is flooding or not giving my PV's atty enough time to even wick. I think I'm just off my rocker a bit at times.

This is EXACTLY what happened to me, sorta. I have never once slept through a class this semester. Of course, the last day of class, which was today, I slept right through. Now I have to give TWO attys an alcohol soak because I nearly destroyed them while trying to get them to work. Go figure.

When Im stressed I vape harder and screw things up.I dont give it time to wick and I burn things up,run my batts down quicker than I should.Carry extra stuff to switch out when your stressed out.It helps.

I helped my wife address this by always keeping a setup ready to go that I primed for her... that's her emergency vape. If you've got a significant other or best friend who'll watch out for you, ask them to kindly do this. Because once my wife hits her emergency vape and calms down she can handle another setup/refill/etc. herself. -Magnus

My mom and electronics don't mix ever, the weirdest things happen like her browser only showing up in Spanish all of a sudden or the printer just won't print. I think there might be something to your personal energy messing up something, but i a free thinker about stuff like that

This is one of my reasons for liking serious mods. When I'm relaxed, I like my Provari at a fairly low voltage. When I'm a little stressed, I turn it up a bit. When life really sucks... like the past two days when I thought I lost I my iPod touch, which pretty much contains every fact of my life, including stuff I really didn't anybody to know... I crank it up even higher.

No matter what the mood or the crisis, the Provari delivers.

That is a pretty awesome looking PV! What do you use for it, dripping, carts, cartos?

ProVari can be used with all the above as well as my current setup with a Tank Mod. It's an all around great PV plus if you screw up and crank the voltage to high for the atty it will shut off before popping it. (just sucks taking out the battery and resetting it )

It sounds like a pretty awesome piece! I have a bunch of 510 batts and attys and they seem fine until I start to become stressed. Other times when I stress, my PVs are amazing. I am looking into a mod, though, just nothing too big. Juice box mods seem good but I just don't know about the size of it.

My daily life isn't likely to bring me any situation I can't handle. I'm not saying I'm some sort of zen master or anything like that. I'm just saying that for the most part, I'm a happy and relaxed sort of fellow. I enjoy my work. My kids have grown in to people I'm proud to know. My lovely wife chose to refrain from killing me in my sleep 20 years ago when my behavior might have warranted such a thing and she still refrains to this day (which I assume must mean she still loves me and isn't too sick of me yet)... My boss is cool. I have a few good friends whose company I enjoy. My siblings and I get along much better now that we are 'middle aged'. My dad's face lights up whenever I drive out to the farm for a Sunday visit. I live in possibly the most beautiful area on the planet and mother nature hasn't attempted to kill me in several years. It has been 20 years since anyone shot at me. It has been over a decade since anyone made me knock them out. And, though I didn't mark the calendar, it has been maybe a year or so since i stopped smoking. Life is good.

That said, if all of my PVs suddenly started giving me trouble at the same time, I might come unglued and go on some sort of a rampage. There are 6 different systems , about a dozen or so mod batteries, 5 different PVs, 20 or so spare cartomizers, 12 spare attys, and a couple of hundred ml or so of juices I like all within reach of this chair I'm sitting in. Then there's the "junk drawer" where I could find maybe a dozen or so PVs that could be made to work without too much effort and another couple of hundred ml of juices I'm not so fond of. If all of that failed all at once and I couldn't vape, my mellow nature would likely take a turn.

Same can be said about my morning coffee. If the Keurig breaks down and something goes wrong with the drip pot... and I can't get hot water for the french press for some reason... and the go-cup coffee maker doesn't work. I'm pretty sure that would be enough to trigger a psychotic break and woe to the unsuspecting fools who get between me and the nearest starbucks.

O_O Whoa. That is awesome. Yeah I have a small system with my attys (I put them into flavor groups)... but the coffee? I would cry. Nobody talks to me in the morning until they see me with my LifeStuff (My friend calls my coffee this, and she also calls me a Javapire... ). Gotta love nicotine and caffeine.

its an interesting phenomenon. its offically called "Murphy's Law" and yes, it does happen when your already having a crappy day-

 

[Sly9377]

I have had the same darn thing happen! So frustrating!! You are def not alone

 

[WomanOfHeart]

I'm likely to use my PVs a lot more when I'm under a lot of stress. Thank goodness I can vape at work, otherwise I'd be outside at least once every hour puffing my life away! I have a tendency towards chain vaping, "hot boxing" the attie and flooding the damned thing. You definitely are not alone!

Wow !! You are a GOOD man!!! Need more of you around for sure.

*sigh of relief* I seriously just go insane with vaping when I'm stressed!!
