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

[Asbestos4004]

Dumbest thing? Let my wife use a ProVari for a day. Needless to say, I have 1 less ProVari.

Dumbest thing I ever did was. .....ehem.......I fried ego battery by using sub ohm dripper lmao

 

[Revelene]

Dropped my Nemesis while getting out of the car...

 

[MissKitty47]

Trying to drip on an unsealed 510 passthrough. I didn't understand what unsealed battery meant...so it died of juice in it's innards.

Sent by my cat through pure magic

well..... the dumbest thing i ever did aside from dumping a 30$ botttle of e juice on my lap was...........

rebuilding a AGI dripper with a piece of my own cut sock as a wick..............my cotton burnt and i have no rda suplies with my soo...... i cut a small strip off my sock and used that in a 1ohm micro coil, needless to say it tasted like feet !!!

I'm trying to imagine this. How would your negative post in a KFL move, in order to touch the positive post? Did it bend? Just curious.

Cramp,

So the 'block' that has the post in it actually friggin moves because its part of the 'adjustable' center pin, so if its not locked all the way or becomes loose over time the post can move and in this case it did so the 'block' part was touching the other post and boom goes the battery, well not boom but sizzle. Oh well, lesson learned and +1 for my Squape and R91 for not trying to kill me.

When I was using 510 cigalikes, I repeatedly banged them into my closed car window to tip the ash.

I tried to borrow Hubby's batt while waiting for mine to be delivered. It had a t3 bcc on it and I wanted my clearo on it, unscrewed it and ended up with the last 3 ml of his favorite juice down my arm and all over said battery. I never did fess up to that one haha he thought he'd just vaped it gone and forgot

In every marriage, some things are better not shared.

Dumbest thing I did: Wait almost two years before I started vaping. I didn't look into it very much and figured I'd hear a story about a health issue or something like that. Doh!

Yes. What the squirrel said. I was like."that will never work" WRONG!

 

[certus11]

I started vaping with some tobacco juice called Red made by some ABC-XYZ company. My sense of smell and taste, at the time, were still very bad so I really enjoyed the vape and OMG it tasted goodddddddd.

Well my wife did not like it, she kept on saying my vape smelled like dirty people, wet shoes, and whatnot. I called her a hater and that she imagining things like always.

Five days into vaping my sense of taste and smell were getting much better and...SHE WAS RIGHT.

YAWKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK, I did not throw the mentioned bottle of juice out, I'm keeping it as a reminder of "what not to get"

Showing my Dad @ 600ml of premium tobacco ejuice! Of course he wanted to "sample" every one, lol.

 

[Dana A]

Tried to take a vape while the top cap was off my genesis type atty. kissed the coil while firing, and had a swollen, blistered lip for the next week.

I have been wondering how long it will be before I do this! I have had several close calls.

 

[Dana A]

You GO Magyver!!!

I didn't have a replacement wick for my device...
So I Used a string from a tampon instead.

 

[K_Tech]

Other than the occasional juice dump, I think for me it was sitting a mech down without locking the fire button.

Huh, what's that smell? Why is my dripper so hot? Why is my battery dead? Where did my cotton wick go?

was on my sleeping meds one night and had eyedrops sitting next to a sample sized bottle and grabbed the wrong one. was blind for about 45 seconds, was nice and swollen until the next day and was red for a couple of days. needless to say, it was sobering and def an eye opener. lesson learned!

I feel your pain. I did that once with a bottle of ear wax remover that was sitting next to my eye drops on the bathroom counter.

Tried to if a ProVari Mini really was bulletproof

 

[humpstyles]

I torched a bit of mesh then rolled it into a nice tight wick and torched the crap out of it. Now, the funny thing about a nicely rolled mesh wick is, it holds heat very well. As a welder, you'd think I would know better. That's right, immediately after the cherry red glow went away, I promptly grabbed the wick with my bare fingers. I think I made up a couple of new words that day.

I always adjust my coils while firing them so I can see what the adjustment is changing in real time. I got distracted by a phone call while in the middle of working out a hotspot. I'm glad I wasn't on the phone with a preacher because I had sat the screwdriver down when I answered the phone. I fired the coil and made an adjustment with the tip of my finger.

A friend of mine had just filled his tank with what he calls "arctic wolf." This is basically a menthol juice but he mixes it four to five times stronger than normal menthol. I decided to smell it to get an idea of how strong it really was. There was still some juice in the tip of the bottle. I gently squeezed the bottle and inhaled deeply through my nose. The bit of juice still in the tip exited the bottle and came to rest in my right eye. It burned for two hours.

I lol'd pretty bad.

My dumbest thing would have to be buying a My7's kit. This site has opened my eyes SO much.

This might take the cake. Poor thing.

This is a very enjoyable thread.

I'm still in the "constantly doing stupid things" stage so I'm hesitant to comment!
