In the early days some mods 510 connection did not have a spring loaded pin so if your tank or RDA's 510 pin was long it would push the mods 510 into the mod so deep you couldn't pull it back up. This happened to me with a ISTICK 30, the mod still works fine but only with the tank that pushed the 510 pin in to it.
Various occasions where Prince Baby et similia kept opening in my pocket (usually I wear cargo trousers). I only carry one DTL setup with me - because of its mass - and it is the one which give all sorts of trouble. I bought a number of Ello T tanks, which have traditional screw tops, but they look sad on most mods.
Also this very common, as Anna told above, I do MTL with various tanks using Nautilus coils, on mods which had overshoot their power setting. Worst is the Dani which goes up to 12 V or the eLeaf QC - tree cells - causing an explosion into the coil.
Testing a empty tank with mesh coils, they shoot a nice long flame out the drip tip after less than a second of fire time.
Wow, I was lucky to be watching the display of the device when the tank behaved like a firework!
I'm allergic to menthol - not a psicological intolerance, a true problem where tasting buds are disabled for the rest of day after a single draw.
Well, here in the UK a good 90 percent of "premium" eliquids contain some form of "cooling".
A flavourist told me that "cooling" is required because if a person drinks (alcohol) on a regular basis, or eat spicy foods in the same manner, they can't taste much flavour, if the e-liquid doesn't contain some "enhancer" - menthol is not a flavour per se, but a nerve sensitiviser, much like glutammate in food.
After this long foreword - a large number of e-liquids contain some undeclared menthol or other "cooling" - twenty dollars in the bin at each shot.
Last thing - the mandatory 10 ml juice bottles, when I have eliminated all unnecessary plastic from my house routine, the only refuse are these unwanted little bottles, that I feel as they are forced upon me.

My saddest experience was losing the ability to get and keep a certain tank running. The Exceed tank was absolutely awesome coming from the nautilus. Just couldn't keep away dry and burnt hits.
Had the same exact issue with Smok cartos back in the day. How can you get a burnt hit from a gurgling coil?

Being impatient 
and defrosting menthol concentrated crystals in the microwave. I heard a boom, peeped in the microwave window, and I had menthol EVERYWHERE.
House smelt minty fresh for a month
I defrosted it in a cup of warm water following that

You freeze your menthol? Should I?
No, and no you shouldn't
It was winter and menthol crystals solidify when they are below a certain temperature
I shorted an 18650 into thermal runaway in a mech and got a fireworks display in my office. I also shorted an unwrapped cell with my wedding band and got a really nasty burn around the circumference of my finger.

Buying from companies whose honesty, integrity, customer service were so bad that I will never do business with them again.
Once I was transferring from a 120ml bottle into a unicorn bottle. I was impatient that the juice was coming out too slow so I squeezed harder and the top came off the big bottle sending many ml of liquid onto my coat, walls and floor of the room. It was very upsetting to say the least.
Yes, dry hit with rayon. You have to be really negligent for that to happen, too. I was reefing and reefing on it wondering where the flavor went and suddenly—FOOF! GAG! EUUUGH. When I recovered I saw that the tank was bone dry and steamed up.
Worst experience(s) ever: dry hits from a Genisis atty on a mech mod. Primer puffs became my best friend after that
Menthol is a solid at room temperature.No, and no you shouldn't
Melts at ~37°C. Thats 98,6 F for those who are only used to whacky temp scales.This is where my coil experience REALLY belongs. Put a premade coil in a container often used for my meds, and put my meds in it in the dead of night. Swallowed it without NOTICING (impressive in and of itself.)
I thought I had hemorrhoids REALLY when it came out the other end (LOL, I did not in fact have them) and yes, I'm glad I didn't like get a perforated bowl or anything.
I have to admit my biggest resentment was spending 30 on H products I did not in fact NEED. H products are like, really specific. I suppose I could give them away but who accepts OPEN H products? I wouldn't.
IDK. That could have bought a really nice driptip. Yes, I got a very specific container for my meds with a lid.
I think I win this one though... really. Or, LOSE. Depending on your perspective.
It so SUCKED,
Anna

Take heart Anna, rule sixty five in the Rules of Acquisition tells us:
65. win or lose ... there's always Hupyrian beetle snuff.
I guess my worse experience was back in the day. I basically started my vaping journey with mechs and gennys and back then not to many knew what vaping really was (if they did, it was simply cig a likes around here) never mind a set up like I was vaping. Anyways I use to vape incognito, because most who seen me thought I was smoking crack or something , which with business signs on my truck, wasnt cool. I was at a light one time and looked over and seen a young boy watching me, just then his mother looked and caught me vaping, she gave me the dirtiest look and pulled the boys head around as to not look......I will never forget that and it always bothered me....I felt like getting out and telling her it's a vape device, but I didnt think that was a good thing to do either
