Firsthand experience, can result in a vaping hangover. Yup, gotta drink water in either case.
Stupidest e-cig related thing you've ever done?

on more than one occasion.........ok a lot of occasions, I will be like "OMG, it's broke", then i'll remember that I forgot to actually turn my bottom feeder on.
OMG!!! And, that's not zero milligrams per milliliter. Wow, that's gotta suck!
I'm still pretty new, so I'm mainly adjusting from smoker's etiquette. My boss smokes in her vehicle and took us all to lunch the other day. I was in the back with our new guy, who's not a smoker. I usually use a 10/90 juice so it's a pretty thick vapor. I saw the cloud creeping over his way and apologized, asking if it was bothering him.
He laughed at me and told me "it's steam. I think the most it's gonna do is knock the wrinkles out of my shirt."
I felt so dumb, which is an overrated experience...

Attempting to hide my ecig from my boss, I shoved it in my pocket. Needless to say, it started firing and had me jumping around like a crazy woman infront of him. Thank Heavens, he is a cool boss and just laughed at me when I had to explain what had just happened. I wound up burning a hole in my pants pocket and nothing more.
When I first started vaping I had an auto batt and had it stuck out the window. 3 mins later I noticed that the air flow was tuning it on in off I burned up my atty. This being one of those crappo kits I spent way to much money on it only had 1 atty. I waited a week for a new one.
I'm working a new job and I'm training, so they have me stuck in a computer room that's maybe 6'x6' with only one door, all day, for a week, so I figured it'd be a good opportunity to "stealth vape" with the ego in my shirt pocket. I let the other two trainees know what I was doing so that they didn't freak out, and I told them if the smell or the vapor bugged them at all, just to tell me and I'd stop.
So I successfully stealth vape a few times, and 15 minutes it's time to start packing up and clock out, the other two trainees left earlier. I figure I'll take one more vape, so I inhale and forgot to hold it in! I blew out a plume of smoke about 10 seconds before a manager came to check on me. OOPS!!
He didn't smell anything, or particularly notice the vapor cloud, but that scared the bleeping bleep out of me.
I'm also not looking forward to potentially dropping it out of a car window when it gets warm. Vape on!

A few days into vaping, I took a pull off my friend's PV. I was vaping 16mg vanilla and, unbeknownst to me, he was vaping unflavored juice at a strength most here would only consider appropriate for diluting into DIY concoctions. As soon as it hit my throat, "Danger! Danger Will Robinson!" popped into the back of my mind. My heart started racing and pounding, I felt tingly all over, and apparently I changed color. He thought I was going to have a heart attack. I was fine a couple minutes later. Moral of the story: Always ask what someone is vaping before trying it, not all juices are created equal.
LOL, yeah I switched hands because I was so worried I'd accidentally flick one out the window.
I've also done the tapping the ash, looking for the ashtray. And the other day, after 3 months+ vaping, it was windy when I went outside for a vape, I automatically shielded my pv from the wind so I could 'light' it.
Leaving the house without a spare battery and going back to analogues for a couple days thus making my banner wrong by two weeks. I keep it because the money figure is still accurate although it money not spent on cigarettes, not really saved at this point.
One man came to me on the street to ask for a light, I just let him try to light from the orange led from my DSE901 before realising we were getting nowere
Today I was in a gas sation when the cute Marlboro girl asked me "do you smoke?" "yes" "what type of cigarettes" "uh, electronic" and she left...
VERY FUNNY! I found out how those Marlboro girls try to rip people off with the ID card scanner they carry around with them. There was a huge buzz about it from the Pentagon directed at the sailors and marines in Hampton roads, they scan your Military ID, and then sell the information to identity thieves. Yeah all our personal information is found on a micro chip in our IDs so they scan it give you a pack of analogs and in two weeks you health is crappy and now you owe 20 thousand dollars for some ungawdly reason.
I feel bad that you had such a bad experience with your pv from the mall, but not all mall kiosk are going to be rip offs, I get all my stuff locally from the malls (all owned by one store) and they are great products with good warranties, and they care about the longevity of a repeat customer, not the quick buck, cuz a e cig vaper will spend more on the catomizers and the liquids than that of the initial cost of the PV, therefore selling a superior product with a warranty and/or guarantee is pivotal. When I first started, or tried to start, I heard a commercial on the radio (Howard Stern Sirius ch100) and I went to the web site where I could have gotten the PV free and spend $80(their introductory price) for 20 prefilled cartridges, then after two weeks they will keep repeating the order for $100 for 20 cartridges, now that is too much, so I then went to the mall and found the kiosk where my buddy went and I bought without hesitation a kit that had one battery mod Fifty-one Duo with a life time warranty and an AC charger and 5 catomizers for $100 and every time the PV broke for whatever reason (hey, all electronics fail at some point) they replaced it no questions asked.
But I am still unclear as to what, exactly; you did with your contraptions you jury rigged? Can you elaborate for me?
I filled my cart too much and didn't know it until I took a hit and got a mouth full of juice. it was at 4am while I was waiting on my manager to open the store. Not the best way to wake up, but it worked. My mouth was numb for a few hours afterwards.
Oh, I love this story....
So I started making my own e-juices about a month after I got into the hobby. I purchased one of the artisan kits from OnestopDIY shop (I believe) along with a bunch of flavors. I even had a downloaded copy of the e-liquid calculator all ready and had done what I thought, was an enormous amount of research. Everything went really well in the mixing phase, the cleanup, and I was rewarded with a nice little bottle of what was supposed to be Cherry Limeade. Wellllll... it KIND of tasted like Cherry Limeade, so I decided to drop some of this "Ethyl Maltol" stuff in it. Hmm, no dice, no real flavor improvement still weak. Oh, its gotta be my atomizer... Change the atomizer, blow out the primer, refill... nope. No flavor. Puff puff, no flavor. Hmm, maybe I should mix another bottle in case I screwed up?
So during this whole testing phase I kept "trying" my first batch to see what had gone wrong and quicker than I would think was possible, I've vaped down like a whole 10ml bottle of 24 mg in about an hour. Yes, an hour. I was sooooooooooo sick.
So later, I look online and see this hidden secret called "steeping" (which isn't hidden and isn't really a secret)....
I kind of felt like an idiot.

And today I rolled up my windows to light my smoke. It confused me for a minute lol
