Being away from home without a backup and my Innokin Proton mod decided to max out its normal 10W setting to 235W in my pocket (little joystick on the side for wattage setting). The wick burned in two when I hit the fire button so no more vape until I get home unless I can replace the wick or find something that works.
I was able to stretch the two burned wick pieces and overlap them in the coil. Back in business, but with a little burned flavor for a while!
If I had been in TC mode that wouldn't have happened. The mod would have sensed overtemp and shut down.

Being about 2 hours from home. Get out of my car and my mod falls out of my coat pocket. The tank shattered and I did not bring a back up. To make matters worse, I let my little niece fill up her car with my debit card that morning and my debit card was on my kitchen table. Since I don't carry cash most of the time, I could not go get a disposable for the route. So I had to suffer through rush hour traffic in Chicago with no vape for 2 hours. At least I (and everyone on the same road as me) lived.
Leaking nicotine shipment about 2 years ago was my worst experience.
The vendor promptly replaced it but I shudder to think if it had leaked outside the box and onto my mailman’s hands. I hope they’ve revised their nic packaging methods but I haven’t ordered from them since; I’m not okay with 100 mg nic leaking and therefore was partially oxidized
ETA: I shattered a Avenger tank, by accident last weekend.

Had one yesterday. Walking out to my car after work, carrying my mod and a handful of other stuff i didnt know the fire button was being pushed. Burnt the wicking fairly and surprisingly fast. Bummer. Talk about a nasty taste. But spare coil to the rescue!! Hint...always keep spares.
NOW! RIGHT EFFING NOW!

Why the hell do I have to sit with the smokers???
Gee, I wonder if he's reading this over my shoulder...

Getting on that stupid double coil, low ohmage, high wattage DL hype train, with stupid leaking, sweating tanks, fast battery drainage and dry hits that I’ll remember for the rest of my existence.
For as long as I've been it, other than when a Chinese DNA board melts down, I've only had a few bad experiences. One comes to mind is, forgetting to replace top cap on an RDA not paying attention and taking a hit, only to burn my lip and singe my mustache.
Stay out of my smoking area man or I'll take you to the effin cleaners.
PG intolerance. It wasnt the worst experience in my life but it sucked working my way through it.
The thought constantly in the back of the mind while going through the process of elimination was that the only thing that had helped me quit tobacco, vaping, a ray of hope, a shining beacon leading the way home, was maybe not an ongoing option for me. It was a bit soul destroying at the time.
Im better now. No souls were destroyed in the making of this non smoker.

I thought rule number 65 was that latnium was more important than family, at least that's what qwork told meTake heart Anna, rule sixty five in the Rules of Acquisition tells us:
65. win or lose ... there's always Hupyrian beetle snuff.

1978. Keg party. I skipped the beer and was drinking Southern Comfort. There was this girl...
Oh, wait. Nevermind.
Worst VAPE experience! GOT IT!!! One word.
"Blu". The 2011 version, at least.
I quickly realized they named it after the color one's face turned while trying to get a decent hit.

New worst: An autofire, followed by not being able to turn the mod off or remove the battery till I took pliers to the cap.
It sounds like a good rule, but it seems very few rules actually mention family:
006. Never allow family to stand in the way of opportunity.
111. Treat people in your debt like family ... exploit them.
Of course, Quark may have just been following a different rule when he told you that:
266. When in doubt, lie.
the TV rules in the show are actually different then the real ferengi rules, at least thats what quark told me..I like rule 266

Several years ago, my boss and his brother-in-law (the head of maintenance) rushed me in the break room claiming they heard a loud bang in my office while I was charging my eGo. To this day, I still have no idea what they were up to.
Needless to say, now while I'm charging 4 batts at a time on my i4, I tread lightly.

You have been incredibly helpful with all the research and information you provided.. thank youProbably when a battery exploded in a mod.
In 2012, most of the batteries available for vaping were protected ICR batteries. AW was selling the first unprotected high drain IMR batteries, but the vaper "experts" at the time were telling vapers not to use unprotected batteries. What they weren't telling us (or they didn't know) was the new class of batteries were "safer chemistry" batteries that were not as likely to flame or explode when misused or abused than the protected batteries.
Back to my story, I wore scrubs at work and had put my street clothes into my locker. My mechanical mod was in my pants pocket for safe keeping. What I didn't know was there were other items in my pocket which continuously pressed on the protruding fire button of the mod. The battery became over-discharged, heated up, and exploded. Nearly caused a fire in my locker but I noticed the smell and investigated. The mod was too hot to touch barehanded, so I got a wet towel and removed the tank from the mod to break the electrical circuit. The battery had blown both ends out, and the barrel of the battery had swollen and compressed like it had melted. The pants pocket appeared to have been singed by flames. Not a good pic below, but its the only evidence I have.
After that unfortunate experience, I did my own research on batteries and found that unprotected IMR batteries were not only a safer option but performed better, too. I was one of the leading advocates to sway vapers away from protected ICR batteries to unprotected IMR batteries. I wrote the original blog "Battery Basics for Mods: IMR Batteries or Protected ICR?" which several online websites published. Within a short two year period it became common wisdom to declare protected ICR batteries to be obsolete for the purpose of vaping.
