What is the DUMBEST thing you've done in your vaping career?

[James Moorman]

Dumbest thing I did... hmm. has to be opening a kanger tank with the tip facing up. Got the juice all over my hands and pants and actually lived to tell about it. With all the news reports of people getting poisoned by e-liquid, (and don't you love they never have any facts to back it up), I didn't even get a nicotine buzz on 24mg. Damn

With skin contact on that little juice, you would have to rub it in like lotion to cause a problem. I honestly think dripping it in your eye would be the only effective way to get a buzz without drinking a lot of it.

Dry burned a new cotton build. Lots of fire, smoke, and a really bad smell :/

That would be getting my friends vaping.....the smartest thing? Getting my friends vaping.

Wow, some pretty funny replies.

Mine wasn't really a particular THING I did.....but something I THOUGHT about e-cigs.

When I first started hearing about e-cigs, back in around 2008, a few people had asked me if I had tried them. For MONTHS, I thought how on EARTH would an app for the phone make you quit cigs?

I literally , for MONTHS, thought that an e-cig was a picture of a cig on an app, and when you get the craving to smoke, you load the app instead and watch it burn. How I got this idea? I think around that time (2008) is when apps were getting real popular....and I kept hearing about all the different apps on everyone's phone. Combine that with the name 'e-cig" and I'm thinking e-mail, i phone, etc.

Worst part is that I'm an extremely tech savvy guy...well....with PCs anyway, not really with phones.

I wadded up a paper towel with a few pieces of excess kanthal inside and ended up with a piece of wire THROUGH the pad of my finger. As in, in one side and out the other.

Well I have had two in the last 24 hours. I set my Kayfun down last night and it fired for around 5 minutes turning my wick to ash and cooking the juice I had. The atty was so hot I couldnt touch it hardly.

Then tonight I was watching TV and dripped on my patriot and went to take a puff without putting the cap on. Hot coil to the lips...

Back in the olden days when vaping at high voltage was 5-6V. I wired a 6V laptop power supply directly to a dripping atomizer and held everything together with electrical tape.

Man - the first lung vape burned the back of my throat - hot .... vapor - drank a gallon of ice water. Went back and hit it again.

Washed out one of my favorite tips. Next day I couldn't find it. Looked high and low. Finally, had to go through the trash. Oh boy, that was fun. There she was, wadded up in a paper towel, down at the bottom.

Here is another one I did just yesterday I was rinsing my russian and my cat jumped on the counter and scared me and dumped it into the sink by by drip tip and chimney assembly I had to disassemble my sink plumbing and fish it out -.-

This thread is teaching me so much. Haha.
I've been really fortunate not running into problems. I guess my worst choice so far was getting rid of my Evod after buying my VTR. So now I have no backup in case something goes wrong. I can't really complain though. My Evod went to my mother who is now completely off of analogs.

Well, the dumbest thing I've ever done would have to be that when I got my eGo-C Twist, I accidentally dripped juice into the center post and ruined the first tank.... luckily it came with two so I had a second chance to start over.

 

[Cloud Junky]

I almost topped my record from my previous post and thought I might share. I just went to tighten my screws on a quad coil and went to take a vape. I felt heat and no drip tip and looked down. A centimeter or so from my lip was a 1.9ohm quad coil.... Lucky me!

Getting ready to change my PT II I was unscrewing it from the battery, and was all ... its broken, then realised I left the base on my battery and 3/4 of a tank of juice all over my lunch box and counter, at work.....
It was Casablanca, so it smelled great.....heh

lol Last night I was cleaning my Kafun and had the little part that goes on top of the insulator and I just kept thinking "please don't drop it! please don't drop it! please don't drop it!" because I knew I would have to do the same thing to the sink.

And you didn't take a picture? That's the FIRST thing you do when you hurt yourself, everyone knows that...

Left home with a half full tank and no spares.

Ordering Juice based on reviews read on the internet...

 

[3mg Meniere]

Just received a pair of cartotanks from fastech, complete with a carto for each. Filled one with juice, and decided to help the carto soak up the juice. Sucked on it without firing, and got a mouthful of juice. Damned thing was like a straw. Refilled it, and put it on my VW. Sucked on it while firing , and got a mouthful of juice. Did the same with the other. WHAT??

The light dawns!! Defective cartos! Changed cartos on both, got plenty of juice in them and everything was fine.

Decided that my theory of defective cartos was no longer a theory, and tossed the cartos.

Mixed another 20 ml of my favorite juice, while suffering the dizziness and nausea of an overdose of 3mg/ml juice. Do not drink it, even at that level.

Lets see... a dumb thing i did was dripping 12mg at .45. Not a fun experience.

But my dumbest thing would have to be getting the Panzer
