Why accident prone people shouldn't own expensive drip tips

[NoizMaker]

So I was happily vaping away outside on the porch earlier on today... When I noticed I slightly flooded my Cisco LR 510 atty. So I took my atty off the eGo batt I was using and blew it out and proceeded to try threading the atty back onto the battery when...

I, somehow, lost my grip on the atty and watched helplessly as my Cisco and my Super-T Stainless Drip Tip fell directly down one of the cracks, disappearing under the ground level deck. After having a sh!% fit, I thought 'There HAS to be a way to get this thing back' but I spent a good 2 hours using everything from magnets, flashlights and anything else I can get my hands on to see, retrieve or even regain some hope of getting my atty and (expensive a$$ed) drip tip from under the deck to no avail.

Why bother posting this??? Well, I am still steaming over it and needed to vent, but also just wanted to express to all of you out there that; Yes, a Stainless Steel Drip Tip is nice... But I would much rather have lost a $13 atty and $1 plastic POS DT (equaling $15 total) than a $13 atty and $25 Super T DT (equaling $38 and 2 grief filled hours of my time)...

Anything can happen, so worry about the vape quality, stock up on extra atties and get the best prices you can on the accessories that can be lost at the drop of an atty.

Sorry to hear of your loss, those Super-T Drip tips are ferociously expensive to loss.

Take the deck board off and replace it if necessary. It'd be cheaper than replacing the atty and drip tip.

Hmmm, maybe one of those gas powered circular saws firemen use?? jaws of life otherwise

Sorry for your loss, I shy away from $8 DT due to what you exerienced, I just do it too often,

That sounds like a good plan.

TY and 110% agreed.

Exactly what I was thinking, but it's raining here tonight, so I opted to take the night to cool off and let the wood of the deck shrink back to a normal size after the rain caused it to swell.

A stick and a piece of gum. Give it a try

Simple and effective, if I could I would totally do this one. I tried looking at all possible angles and just couldn't see it at all. Genius though!

And this is why you post on a friendly forum.

Best of luck Noiz

Bubblegum or duct tape on the end of a stretched out coat hanger always works for me....

lol np. Yeah rip the deck apart hehe.

This girl taught me the gum on stick trick. She said she found allot of change that way.

You always wanted a new deck anyway, right?

I don't like stainless steel drip tips to begin with but I'm sorry to hear that you lost your baby. Are you sure it landed where you were rooting at? Sometimes we think this but it could have bounced to another location. Get a big magnet and root again for it.

Unfortunately, stainless steel isn't magnetic.

Unfortunately, stainless steel isn't magnetic.

But the atty should be

That's why I have kids, just make them crawl under and retrieve it for you. If they are too big now just drop another and then squeeze it in a hole when it fits

Might be better and cheaper to wait for the grandchildren to show up, rather than having another of your own.

Too funny mopar.
