"Well THAT was dumb..." or, does anyone else do this?

[bwh79]

Like, all the damn time.

*Hits mod*
That seems a little dry.
*Checks rda*
Yep time to redrip.
*Sits there for a minute*
*Hits mod*
Hmm, seems a little dry...
etc.

And just earlier today, I almost, ALMOST took a hit with no top cap on the RDA. Now That woulda left a funny-looking burn mark that'd be fun to explain...

Not done that, but while reading posts here last night and using my squonker, somehow I must have kept squeezing the bottle on auto pilot but somehow forgot to vape - flooded the thing well and only noticed when the juice ran down over my hand.

Yup, folk do daft things!

 

[Jim_ MDP]

Yeah, I've done the "forgot to drip", not the "forgot the RDA's cap" though, thankfully.
I've seen the pics...

I did burn a Crown head because it alone of several tanks was not on a TC mod.
Oops.

And I spent a good couple of minutes last week wondering if my mod had just bricked because the freshly filled RTA stopped producing, completely.

Nope... forgot to reopen the juice flow. Dry hit protection worked though.
Derp.

Well this is a funny thread, i guess you are not alone.

I have almost tried to vape with no top cap on. I've also caught myself start to try to screw the RBA directly on to mod after building without screwing it in to a base first.

 

[aceman3330]

I did.
Here's the proof.

Not a pretty sight and yes, it does hurt.

Ya, that's about like putting the dead battery back in the mod, and the fresh battery on the charger.

Zippered coil lip is no fun! Done it a time or three myself

 

[EverPresentNoob]

yup, Ive fallen victim to the dreaded coil kiss a few times before...

The stupidest and most dangerous fudge up Ive done was fresh build, checked it on my meter, installed on my mod and was working out hot spots. decided to raise the coils a touch so i put my Steel rod back in the coil and raised them. then left the rod IN the coil and proceeded to fire it on my Cherry bomber to see how badly I had messed up the alignment and if it would still glow from the inside out. nice fat spark and blown coil. Normally I use ceramic rods to wrap and tweak on just so I dont do dumb stuff like this...

Re-wrapping batteries is always fun... Bought some cool colors so i can code the different batts to mods and got new insulating rings for the POS ends. re wrapped all my batteries in one evening and then put them on the charger. nothing... realized charger wasn't plugged in so i fixed that. Chargers lights came on so I left them there. Came back right before I was to leave for work to grab some fresh charged batts for a 12 hour shift. popped them in my mod and jumped in the car. about 5 miles down the road I tried to turn on the mod. Nothin. not a flicker. popped out the batts and found that the insulating rings I had used weren't rings, they were dots. No center holes! so no charging happened, and the batts were dead from the day before.

Building a PWM mod... git everything to fit where I wwanted, wiring all nice and neat, everything was perfect. Slowly epoxied everything in, including wires and batt sled. probably 3/16 inch thick nice smooth coat of epoxy holding everything in place.... put on an atty and hit fire. nothing. stabbed the DMM leads into to 510 fitting, nothing. no power. Started looking inside all the BEAUTIFUL epoxying I had done and there it was... when I was putting everything in I had desoldered a few connections to get everything laying flat and perfect. I forgot to reconnect the damn 510 POS to the batt sled. and there it was... Buried in solid epoxy...

Yea, we've all done a few boo boos...

 

[Zutankhamun]

Nearly. Felt the heat and luckily noticed. I rarely drink but I can see that this will be a problem

What a coincidence that this thread should show up.

Last night I "killed" my Taifun GT2

Ive been using it as a dripper lately and have recently tried using the "side air" I used one of the plastic tubes in the air intake under coil and used a tooth pick to block it. I pressed it in too tight or it expanded and could not get it out.

I spent a few hours trying to remove it and only managed to shove it down lower and shred the plastic tube/toothpick way down inside.

I tried to remove most of it, but it has definately blocked the pathway for air. It literally sucks.

Im a dummy.....a sad one...

Gawd I've forgotten the number of times I've done that too!

 

[ashes to batteries]

I've also caught myself start to try to screw the RBA directly on to mod after building without screwing it in to a base first.

I did this last night. Took me longer than I care to admit to realize the problem.

 

[Jim_ MDP]

If it had been an iSub coil... it would have worked.
Then you would have spent a minute looking for a tiny top cap.

Not that I've ever done such a thing.




Love the box build tale Aceman... that's gotta hurt.

I Fixed my Taifun GT, I felt like this....
