What's your best newb/like mistake?

[Faylool]

Mine was the T3 clearo thing except my mistake was buying a5 pack because I thought they were a newer version of T2 which of course filled from the top. I tried to undo the top to fill with ejuice and I tried and and tried saying what the .....? And cursing my inadequacies always fumbling and hating engineers never quite making anything all the way right so on and so forth. Once I figured it out and tried it I didn't like it. Was oing to transfer juce and did the spill it thing. The worst part is I had 4 more! I still have one I haven't donated just in case. Everytime I run into it in the box of stuff it's in I kind of study it and shake my head. Haven't bought a plastic clearo since and that was before Christmas last year

The really worst one was learning to dry burn my hh357 expensive atty. it kept producing a lot vaper. I kept at it. Finally I stacked two 18350s in my Vamo saying " this ought make short work it!" Changed to volts and upped them and kept on trying until I popped it. It hung in there an amazingly long time considering

A couple of weeks ago I had multiple tanks that were identical, all with different flavors. Yup. I poured the wrong flavors into half filled tanks and bolted off to work. 9 hours of hatefull flavors later I was home cleaning and LABELING tanks.

The more painful the lesson, the better learned

Was told when my cheap stardust got hard to vape I needed to clean the wick. When the time came I pulled the wick out with a pair of tweezers, along with the coil As soon as I saw the wires I knew I had up. Luckily I had bought another one earlier that day. It ended up being a blessing in disguise cause right after I put the new top on I found ECF, started getting iClear 16s, and Pro Tanks

I've been trying to mix some tobacco and fruit flavors...seems I like the sweet ones.

Got my little empty 5ml bottle, mixed my coumarin and red licorice, capped that sucker and shook it for all it was worth. Too bad I never put the little dropper tip back on the bottle... Did the same thing with the next mix.

I can understand once. But twice in a row!! LOL!!

My noob mistake(s), first spending almost $75 on NJoy crap at the gas station, then following that up with buying three Ego-T Twist 650mAh batteries for $40 each at the local B&M Store, along with a few clearomizers at around $15 each, and fluid for $14 per 10ml bottle. Lesson learned, but I don't regret it as it started me along the right path.. That was almost 5 month ago and the day I bought the Egos was the last day I smoked an analog.

Thinking all cartos came pre filled and burning every single one in a 5-pack. Yeah..... That first week was rough.

 

[Train2]

buying little things that were the wrong things because I just didn't understand the terminology yet.
Like humongous dual coil cartos - for my 510 stick batteries.
Or an Ego cone meant to cover the cartomizers i was using on Ego batteries - but I got a cone with an atomizer in it.

Two days ago I shoved an eGo twist with a pro tank into my back pocket since my hands were full while shopping with the wife.
Forgot about it and got in the car- I snapped the Protank off about 70 miles from home...... without a backup.

Thinking/insisting that it had to look like a cig and taste like a cig or it wouldn't work for me. When i first joined ECF it was months before i realized that e-cig alikes was a mistake for me.

I was a slow learner but now i know the truth after over a year of vaping.The truth is if you don't try something how will you find out your true preferences

Now when i look at this vid someone made on youtube i can laugh at myself and say been there done that

A friend of mine wanted to taste my juice so i gave him the bottle.
He gave it back without screwing the cap back on properly and i didn't notice.
I put it back in the side pocket of my pants and ended up with 5ml of juice on my leg.

 

[vicflo]

the "not making sure the drip tip is secured before trying to fill your cart" thing where it gets all over your pants.

Stripping the threads on my vamo 2 a few weeks ago.

When I first started DIY juices and got my 100mg in the mail. I thought "I wonder what this stuff is like..." Way worse than your nastiest dry hit ever

 

[Unfettered]

First day at work with a T3. Was on break, reading a book, and wanted to change flavors. Still reading, unscrewed t3 from battery... but actually unscrewed tank from base. Full tanks worth of juice all over a library book.

Been there, done that, got the stained t-shirt(s).

I "filled" an evod tank without taking the head off. And another time I had a tiny bit left of a really good juice (man, I was looking so forward to it, too) and didn't tilt the tank just right and squeezed most of it down the center post and on to my shirt.

I have a lot of stained shirts.

I think mistakes when you are new are forgivable, it's much worse to make a mistake when you know better.

Dumped a Kanger Pro that way at work... twice. Damn employees kept distracting me and the next thing I know my favorite juice was all over the desk.

Gasp!

I am not sure my body could take that.

 

[Myrany]

Still a noob. I figured out that squeezing a bottle of vg harder doesn't make it drip faster, it pops the drip tip off and dumps the bottle everywhere.

I had to do that three times before the lesson finally sunk in.

Sent from my microwave oven.

I did a similar one.

Trying to empty what was left of a syringe of my 50/50 DIY Strawberry back into the bottle I managed to shoot the tiny Syringe needle off the end of the syringe and INTO the bottle. TWICE!

 

[TheDarthJager]

I got a Kager eVod because I was trying different clearomizers to see if I could find one I like and kept forgetting the tank unscrews from the bottom and detaches from the coil. Spilled a full tank of juice on my hands and my eGo twice, promptly gave the tank to my sister after making death threats to it.

 

[Custo]

My biggest mistake was not looking EFC over before buying. Wasted money on things I didn't need or couldn't use. I have some boge cartos I have been using duct tape on to cover the hole. Instead of putting them into a clearo or tank which ever they were designed for.
