So last night i decided to make my very first coil.

I had a spool of twisted Kanthal that was given to me by a fellow forum member, all was going well, made my 2 coils for a dual coil build, started installing them.

First one went on like a charm, but while fitting the second one, i might have maybe put a bit of pressure on the fire button.... needless to say i have a perfect coil imprint on my left thumb. There is no blister or mark that i have been burnt, just a perfect indentation of a coil.

Now i know to switch the mod off BEFORE installing coils....


Whats your funny/stupid stories?

Um......o........k. Well, I look at my atty before I vape, so that's never happen to me. What kept you so busy that you didn't notice the top was off. Must've been very important (or very.....um...lekker) .....hahaha
 
blew my lungs out on a mech build running @176 watts instant sinus infection.

Almost there, now you just need a piece of Kanthal in the foot ;)
 
i think the award should go to me or rathee to my friend who installed it in my foot the first place . I present me the humble "tuinvurk in die voet" award
 
Try pre-heating a soldering iron for some arb job outside, and while it's lying next to you on the ground, sitting down flat on your arse while supporting your full body weight on one arm with your hand palm right on said soldering iron's tip and shaft.
That one takes a while to heal... and I'm referring to the ego - the deep burn heals a bit quicker ;)

Twice now after swopping batteries, my Smok Bec Pro decided that 50W is the best power setting for me.
Needless to say, my Subtank Mini didn't like that setting very much. Neither did my tastebuds and/or lungs, as it's "unpossible" to do a quick recovery from a full blown, dry hit, lung inhale.
You might stop midway on the inhale as it's suddenly far hotter than you expected, but you only realize it's far too late while gagging on the tasty 'smoked sock' exhale.
I now do a quick 'test-fire' to check the display every time I swop batteries.

@BumbleBee, since you recently acquired one, take note ;)
 
Luckily my hero which I bought my mod from set me up nicely with a proper rebuilded coil when I bought it
