What's your worst "Oh shoot, I forgot it was a blank cart!!!" experience?

[jaspry]

I'm hoping this will be interesting, to say the least I'd love to hear all of your stories! Here's mine ...

Several months ago I was on a very serious business call from home. I had two carts on the table, a white blank cart, and a 555 cart. You see where this is going?

I am discussing a deal that would potentially net me a new website gig and was very focused on the conversation. I reached and grabbed the "555" cart [or so I thought!] Screw it in, and put it to my mouth. Now when I vape, I like to take a nice, long, 10-12 second drag before I breath it in. I do just that, not thinking... then all of the sudden ... inhale ... a WHOLE LOT of burntedness hit me at once! I had to cough, I had to gag, I had to run to the nearest sink or beverage container! But I couldn't, I had to maintain composure. This was a big deal.

"M-Hmm.... Yup..." Was all I could say in response to the potential client's questions. I was hitting my chair, bulging my eyes, and straining my neck and throat to keep it all under control! Oh look, an old juice bottle! A few drops left. I'm literally hitting that juice bottle so a few drops come out. They don't help! Deep breaths... fresh air... The conversation drags on for minutes, the burnt flavor still attacking my mouth and throat... until finally, "I think you're the right man for the job," he says. "Good... good... let's talk on Tuesday?" Conversation finally ends.

And I RUN!!!

Bonus Question: How would you DESCRIBE the flavor of a burnt/accidental-blank cartridge? I tried describing it to a newly-vaping friend of mine and came up with "If you roll up an old sofa into a pipe, light it, and breath it in. That's what it tastes like." I'm wondering how other people would describe it

Oh man, that was terrible ( but in a funny way )
My worst was probably when I was driving and was focused on traffic that was crazy. I'm so tense I didn't realize I had vaped the cart bone dry and I was lucky I didn't get in an accident i was gagging so bad. But it was still better than getting hot ash from a lit cig in my eyes while driving, that was truly awful...

Oh the taste, hmmm almost as bad as lighting the filter end of a cig and taking a big draw

burnt or even dry = burnt plastic bandages ...yeeeuckkk ...only done it once ....dripping fanatic here.

ugh once it happens you never want it to happen again! its the worst...its like...burning plastic its just gross. and its probably not healthy to vape something without juice lol. I have accidently vaped a blank and I have vaped a carto dry a couple times. it just sucks! but I've learned and I havent dont that in a long time

sounds gross! Glad you landed the gig!!!

I've gotten into the refilling/juicing routine and I have 3 seperate "organizer" boxes (like multicompartment tackle box inserts). Container #1 is for cleaning and storing used and blank carto's (& condoms, buttplugs, plastic caps, spinner, flusher-syringe). Container #2 has my juice bottles syringes and labeling markers. Container #3 has filled carto's only. When I'm filling, batt's stay out of reach.


Kinda like when you are cleaning your guns, you keep the ammo in another room.

I have had a few of these moments. I will post soon. I do remember a very funny incident that happened at work. Scott never vaped before he started working so when he came in he was a newb. I remember one day he saw the cool cart blanks and was like hmmm. He vaped it on purpose and hated the taste. It was one of the most hilarious moments ever at any job let alone working here. We still to this day tell Scott, " hey Scott you how do those cool cart blanks taste?" lol very funny.

I was so excited to demostrate to a coworker that was curious of how my ecig works, then I screwed on what I thought was a prefilled cart...took a big draw 5 seconds and inhale WOW!! trying to hold back my gagging his eyes wide open ask me if I was alright..Man did I pull a big dumb ... I said to myself...I explained later to him what had happened finally I gave him a good demo, and was excited about it...Also explained the do's and dont's .Tastes like lighting a filter end of a cigarette..

Tastes like lighting a filter end of a cigarette..

Been there done that! Never accidently smoked an empty carto/cart though, and I am sure from all the responses I don't ever want to!!

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I really only had 1 "Oh .... its a blank!" moment, which was when I first started vaping and I took a blank out of the pack and put it in my bag I carry on me. I forgot to fill it cause I was being rushed out the door, used the LAST menthol carto and I took one that was still capped out of the bag.

I uncap it, take a long to the lungs kinda drag, and coughed my brains out... I was like... Menthol? This tastes like ....!
