Vamo + Protank + Cup of Coffee = Epic Fail or Dunking Your Vamo, (it's not a donut).

I've thought about this a dozen times, but thought I was smart enough not to make this mistake.....

I keep my Vamo + Protank standing in a coffee cup to keep it from rolling around and falling off the table. This morning I also had a cup of Dandelion Coffee, (It wasn't even REAL coffee, darn it!), and as I was reading this mornings latest posts I absent mindedly reached over an plunked my brand new Vamo in a half full cup of coffee.

As soon as it glugged as it struck the bottom of the cup I yanked it out while filling the air around me with colorful phrases of self deprecation. I yanked of the bottom cap and spilled the batteries into my lap and frantically began wiping down the inside of the tube, end cap and spring.

I could tell right away it had not reached the circuit board but I continued to wipe and dry the interior until i was sure no residual moisture remained in or around the tube. I wiped the flat top blue 750 mah batteries and set them aside, grabbed my newly charged trustfires and loaded them up.

I saw the "Blink of Happiness" as I tightened down the cap and after a long held breath, clicked five times and turned it on. "ON" never looked so good to me! I checked all my readings and tried a tentative vape. It worked. I started breathing again.

I never thought I would do this as I had used a cup the did not resemble the rest of my coffee cups for just this reason. It just goes to show you can be too sure of yourself and do something stupid.

I plan to order another Vamo now because if I did lose this one I would be very unhappy vaping anything else until a new one arrived, (it is just that darned good!). I also plan to get something that looks NOTHING like a coffee cup, like a flower pot or cast iron something or other to stand my Vamo in, you can never be too careful!:ohmy:

Oh my goodness! Holy bat beans you were lucky. Yes, you need a new holder. Something cute and fun. It is not the most aesthetically pleasing idea, but I use hair ties/coated hair rubber bands and wrap them around all my pv's to stop them from rolling. I especially like them now because my ss vamo is always sticky no matter how much I clean it. I think it's coming off my hands from the juice bottles I guess. This so gives me something to grip for now.... I chopped my hair off so have plenty of them.

Oh you live in Fl. I tried and tried last year to win the trip to Vapestock that Madvapes was running. I would love to go!!! The hotel looks fun and my hubby is from Fl, I've never been.

I live only two hours away, I am SOOOO excited about going this year! It looks like it's going to be a great time, going to order up a boatload of cheap clearomizers for all the free samples of ejuice.....and going to bring at least two Vamos and all my smaller batteires...trying to figure out some kind of vest to stash them all in....

Thanks for the idea on the hair ties, it sounds like it would really work nice, wouldn't have to look around for a cup of coffee dunk my Vamo in....
