The stupid...it burns!

[Belhade]

So today I'm wearing a pair of my "carpenter's jeans". They're the ones with the hammer loop on one leg and a few narrow pockets on the other leg.

After getting dressed, I make a pot of coffee while my wife makes some heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast. I get my coffee and my 510, take a drag and put it in one of the leg pockets. Then I sit down in front of my computer.

A few minutes later my leg starts to itch. Huh. Scratch, scratch...it's getting pretty uncomfortab-HOLY CRAP MY LEG IS ON FIRE!! AAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHH!


Ok, it wasn't really on fire, but it must have been on for about two minutes. Due to my chronic sciatica and bad knees I have a rather high tolerance to pain in my legs and can usually ignore such things. Now I have to wash my atty since it tastes and smells like burning.

ROFL! I'm so sorry that you burned yourself, but the way you put things are in perspective to how I do and I crack myself up. Scratch, scratch LOL. I hope that you can get the burning taste out of your atties. Try dripping a drop of VG and vape on that to see if it helps.

You obviously didn't read all the threads with the automatic batteries that would activate around any loud noise. One of many reasons a lot of us went to manual batteries.

Yeah i read them. I was simply saying that the only downside to a manual is that if you put it in your pocket you could accidently be activating the battery and unknowingly catch your leg on fire. Not real sure what you point is about the noise unless you think that his pocket was noisy enough to continually activate the battery and burn his leg. I kind of doubt that.....

 

[Kilroy]

I slip it into my shirt pocket. Yeah, you can set them off.

 

[M & M]

Give the atty a couple turns before you put it down or in your pocket.

I did that New Years Eve with an automatic battery. It was right when I first started vaping and had no idea just HOW sensitive to noise they were. I figured yeah, noise sets off an automatic, but if it's in my pocket it should be muffled enough to be fine. No.

God, my leg itches... Jeez... (scratch scratch) Ow.. OW OW OW OW OWOWOWOWOW!

 

[cpistilli2]

hmm my 510 was sensitive at first but seems to be behaving now......auto that is......you cant Carey manuals in your pocket....unless its your shirt.....and if you lean down to far........then be ready to loose it.....we need better pcc,s .....now if only we could chant it at the same time.........in Chinese.......oh well, time to dance with the old lady in the living room for vd.....hope the rest of you have such to enjoy

Thats funny, I kinda had the same thing happen, I was playing ps3 and the phone rang so I got to to answer and set my 510 on the chair, well after talking I forgot and sat on my 510 and started playing ps3 and my azz starts itching and Im like thinking what the heck about a 30 secs later my azz is burning.

 

[tribalmasters]

I do that whilst working at the shop! Carrying heavy bag then all of a sudden YOUCH!!! 510 BURNING FIRE!!!!

 

[bionic1]

I am so sorry to hear that..
Nice link Slighter..

 

[Skyspider]

I tucked my 510 manual into my sling in the waiting area at he fracture clinic, i thought i had the button facing up so it would not get pushed in but noooooo... it was on the side.. just lucky for i wanted a vape and got it before it got too hot,,, setting myself on fire in a hospital would not be good advertising for e-cigs lol

 

[VaporPhreak]

LOL! This is exactly why I keep my 510 over my ear like an analog, or in my shirt pocket if i have one. One of the first things I noticed when I got my kit was there was no cut off time like I had with my others. While I do like this, its also a double edged sword... and my condolences to the OP for finding the other edge the hard way. LOL! Hope you can get that nasty burnt taste out of your atty!

had mine laying on the bed when i was watching tv.. passed out and rolled over on it woke up with a burning back

I have done the same thing with a mod in my front pocket. I was driving and suddenly my thigh started getting really warm. I almost got into an accident lifting myself up in the seat to dig it out of my pocket! LOL

Some models like most of the GG's have locking buttons so that they cannot accidentally go on, other models with locking buttons or protective covers include the Screwdriver mkII, the Mako (when it comes out), the Super T, The Bulli can now be ordered with a locking button, or consider a box mod with an on off switch.
