Dumb vaping moment!

[Quakes]

Dumb vaping moments for people to learn from.

What dumb moments have you guys had while vaping?

I luckily only had 2 dumb moments.

1. Driving 120km on the highway with windows closed and blowing a massive cloud straight forward - Not a good idea.

2. Happened twice (2nd time now about an hour ago), taking the cap off my dripper, drip some juice while doing something else and then take a vape WITHOUT putting the damn cap back on!!! - Now I'm stilling with burnt lips! (Please tell me I'm not the only who made this mistake)

 

[SAVaper]

Hahaha
Jip happens to me 2 but luckily I have not burned the lips yet.

Damn I thought this was just an urban legend

 

[SAVaper]

No legend at all. Just a dumb mistake. I was lucky every time as I realized the error just before my lips touched

 

[Quakes]

I had a few time realizing it before I burn my lips, but tonight is the 2nd time I actually burnt my lips. Tonight was not to bad burnt, just little but stil damn sore. the first time I burnt my upper lip badly.

I was visiting friends, having a braai, alcohol started flowing and I was dripping, forgot to put the cap back on and wham!!! We all had a good laugh and I thought maybe it was just the alcohol talking, but, it happened again, TODAY, at work.

Have done both of those @Quakes
The car cloud was very scary. Never again
The lip burning was about 2 yrs ago with the old IgoL dripper.
But in those days i was only using the SVD mod which could only go up to 15 W so it wasnt a big coil or too hot. The thin wire cools down quick - thank goodness for that!

Almost happend to me forgot the top cap but luckily saw before i gave my coils a nice kiss

But i usually use wide bores in my druppers so i just drip down through the chuff.

Yea, that why I started making this dumb mistakes, I also dripped through the chuff with my BMI, now with different drippers I remove the cap and forget to put it back on.

 

[huffnpuff]

squonking instead of firing...never gets old

 

[Feliks Karp]

Squeezing really thick coils with my ceramic tweezers then always finding a way for the tips to touch my hands.

Managing to stab my fingers with 32 or thinner wire when threading around other wire.

Forgetting whether ive dripped or not then finding out that I have when super hot juice shoots out the air flow all over me.

I've never forgotten to replace the dripper cap, mainly because I refuse to remove the top cap. If I can't drip through the drip tip, I don't drip. What I have done, though, was to fill my dripper while being distracted. And instead of taking off the witch's hat cap, I took off the cap AND nozzle together and then upended the whole bottle over my dripper.

The one n00b mistake I keep making is to install a new coil, carefully cut and insert the cotton for wicking, neatly trim and fluff out the cotton edges, carefully shape it into the wicking channels/slots with my tweezers, lightly and precisely place a few drops of juice on the cotton to prime, screw the deck into the tank, fill up the tank with juice...



...and then remember "Oh dear, I should have pulsed/strummed/pinched and checked the coil for hot spots". When I first did it, it was with a 1Ω pre-made Clapton. I thought stuff it, I'm not doing all that wicking again, I'll vape it as is. I checked the mod's Ohm reading and it was around 0.55 which seemed ominously low. But I vaped it anyway. Over time, the coil resistance gradually increased until it topped out at 0.86. It was a great coil and gave an excellent vape, even if it was never pulsed properly. I ditched it after about six weeks but had no problems with it.

The second coil I forgot to check was a DIY. I thought I'd better not take a chance again so I dismantled the tank, took the freshly-installed wicking out, and pulsed the coil. It was perfect, lovely even glow from the inside out and no hot spots at all. That's when you really get the m@er in.

The first time I wicked a dripper with CelluCotton (almost 2.5 years ago) was while talking to a distant vaping lady friend on the phone. After a bit I turned off my desk light, moved to my recliner, but as it turned out had forgot to drip any joose into the RDA. So when I tried to take my first normal long lung hit it flared up almost immediately with the wicks flashing then quickly melting to a glowing ash. With big dual coils and big wicks it really lit up the otherwise darkness of the wee hours of the night for a second thru the big bore DT and AFC slots. The lady friend got a very big kick out of it and has never let me forget it since.

I decided to try and practise blowing rings ........................ using 12mg nicotine juice.
Luckily I was sitting down at the time

I honestly do not really believe the forgotten chuff cap stories. I mean I have been vaping a bit, reflex takes over pretty soon. So many warning signs. Don't your atties make a noise when you vape, OR you feel a coil is not a chuff and actually still hit fire?

Anyhow, dumb mistake from me, pulsing a .22 ohm Clapton build with no shirt on. Got some nice hot juice on my man-boobies. Better than the time I fried bacon without a shirt on but still sucked.

 

[Waine]

Some mistakes I have and still make:

1. Starting off with a Twisp and extra Twisp gear, without first Googling vaping and buying the better stuff.
2. Cracked the glass on tightly fitted tanks while trying to remove.
3. Burned my fingers on an an RDA I have freshly juiced and pulsed, while trying to remove.
4. Inserting the battery in a SIMPL mech mod first, then attaching the atty. Sparks! Atty must be attached first.
5. Opened up a tank facing upwards to check the coil -- juice spills everywhere.
6. Filling a tank and forgetting to close the top fill hole, -- juice everywhere.
7. Not wicking my Aramamizers properly -- juice leaking from the air holes. (Should have first Googled it)
8. Building coils with very low Ohm readings without fist checking what the minimum Ohms level is on the atty I am using. Then having to re do a coil i spent time on making.
9. Impulsive buying without first Googling the mod / atty.

In life, as with anything, you must make mistakes to learn. The foolishness lies in "doing the same thing every time, but expecting a different result", i.e. repeating the mistakes.

We all know that multitasking efficiently is impossible. One can only concentrate on one task with proficiency at a time. The only time a few tasks can be done simultaneously is when the tasks were done so often in the past that they have become conditioned reflexes.

I was mixing up a batch of DIY, watching the forum posts and coiling and wicking a atty. Without realising it I poured concentrate over my freshly wicked coil and took a conditioned vape ........ DAMN .......... concentrated Tiramisu almost gave me a mild stroke.

Carefully rebuilding a Subtank RBA, forgetting to put the RBA top on, inserting and filling the tank. Juice all over everything... It is the kind of thing one only does once!

 

[Andre]

Forgetting to screw on that top ring part of the Subtank Mini RBA has caught me not once, but twice!

A few times with the Protank 4 also... More than twice because I don't build it very often at all and it bites me in the backside all too often.

 

[Lord Vetinari]

Dumbest vaping mistake ever really is thinking: "They'll still have stock next time don't worry"

If it is good, it is going to be GONE.

 

[Gizmo]

Nearly vaped and RDA without the cap on while playing Overwatch.. Very scary. Thank goodness I felt the heat by my lips

 

[incredible_hullk]

just had my dumb moment...after 2 months of diy find out my nic is 100% vg and not pg...aaaah

 

[Huffapuff]

How about putting in a new coil, wicking it, priming, closing the tank, filling it up all without firing it once only to be told "atomiser short"
