I went on a juice-buying binge and now have a zillion different juices that I don't use. Heck, now I'm even diluting the ones I like with straight 50% PG/VG so I'm getting minimal nic, too....lol

I even vape plain now.

I feel bad about all this juice sitting here doing nothing.

Pif? Classifieds?

You could always start a passaround box, where everyone takes and gives and sends it to the next person. This was done at a forum I was on and the guy after me didn't send it on, he was peeved that he suggested it and no one told him about it. He wasn't on the forum, so others ran with the idea and I think he was mad that he didn't get the credit. So if you start one, just know there may be one that won't send it on! And use the flat rate box. It cost me $18 just to mail it to the guy and he didn't pass it on! It was fun while it lasted. People made videos and sent there DIY for others to try. They put kits in for newbies, tanks, cartos, etc, just what ever was on hand. It was pretty awesome. They put in silly stuff too, like KY jelly and a flower lei, little kid stickers and candy. It was pretty neat. Tracked it on a shared google map. There were some others here that had an abundance of juice. It'd be a great way to try different flavors. I got my first crack at Pluid and passed it on. Just have to be specific about stuff. One girl sent something for someone down the line and I didn't see it and she thought I took it, so maybe it's not such a good idea, too much strife and grief?

One of my friends mentioned her mom vaped in bed, so I thought, I've never done this how cool to read and vape in bed, well, I learned that gravity feeds the tank and when you're laying down it's pouring straight into your throat... Other stupid thing was everytime I walked the dogs, somehow, they'd throw my mod to the ground until it finally stopped working. Then I got a couple of o-rings and a lanyard, and babied it until it finally died. Oh well. A good lesson learned. Keep your mod close to your heart and it will never leave you.

last week i had a new dumb moment (sorta)...driving home, decieded to switch to a different tank. unscrewed one from the battery..and noticed my hands, pants, and steering wheel were wet.

yup, managed to unscrew just the base from the tank, leaving the coil behind, and a big gap for juice to spill out..

So far I’ve been having a good giggle at the misadventure stories of vaping:

Stupid things I’ve done:

1) Was vaping one of my two cig-a-likes that I had at the time going for a pee, and dropped it down the toilet. Managed to rescue it and the battery still worked, but I threw out the cartomizer
2) The next day, I was happily vaping the second of my two cig-a-likes that I had at the time going for a pee, and dropped it down the toilet. Managed to rescue it and the battery still worked, but I threw out the cartomizer
3) When I got my new tank, I unscrwed the wrong part and got E-Juice everywhere

Buying an eVic and not liking it was bad enough, but then I had to go and buy a eMode as well, *then* I bought my ProVari - realizing that the money wasted on the Joyetech stuff would have paid for the ProVari.

hmm.... I actually like my evic. but I didn't buy a kit, just the control head and an 18350 tube. weight was the deciding factor for me...

Just a couple of days ago I rebuilt about 15 PT coils, finally finished them all, sat back, enjoying a vape, and was feeling all smug about what a frugal vaper I am when I glanced to the side and saw all my little top wicks sitting in a pile. Had to go back and pull all the chimneys back off and put the top wicks in....
