Things We Have Learned...

[Lurch]

Thought maybe we could share some things we have learned through our own experiences…


A few things I have learned:
#1 - While driving into an early morning sun on a bright and clear day, with the windows up and the air conditioning on a very low setting… don’t absentmindedly reach for your vape and take a big hit of 20PG/80VG juice and blow out a big cloud. It makes it very difficult to see!!
#2 - If you are planning on going to the beach to lay on your back and relax, don’t take a BCC. There is no way to lay on your back and physically get the vape to your mouth without turning the unit upside down! This is why they invented top coil units!!!
#3 - Do not get so engrossed in reading messages on the forum that you attempt to fill your ProTank2 Mini without looking at it. If you attempt to unscrew the topper from the battery without looking you will unscrew the tank from the base and end up with a lap full of juice, EVERY TIME!!!


Anybody have some learning opportunities they would care to share?

Remember: Experience is what we get, right after we really needed it!

Honest, wasn't me! My sister not once but twice screwed the tank off the base on the test tanks at our local B&M. Nice little puddle of liquid on their floor, and my sis very embarrassed.

I've learned how to roll, twist and fold a paper towel so many ways since I began vaping that I'll never need a Q-tip or pipe cleaner ever again.

I think the occasional juice spill is MUCH better than the ash, burns, nicotine stains, smell, etc. from THEM.

Gotta love a tiddy vaper.....I even bought a special paper stainless steel towel holder that is spring loaded so you can rip off 1 square at a time with no excessive rollover....

I learned lots of words and invented a few more the first time I tried to rebuild my KFL.

I'm not looking forward to the second.

Now why I just got an RDA, there's a mystery. Two coils, not just one.

Maybe I should go practice. I'll have lots of time having bought it from slowtech.

I have learned to read every review there is on a juice cause chances are if there are a high majority of bad reviews then it isn't good. Blech Cappuccino was so gross and 1 out of like 20 were good reviews.... Never again.

I learned when rebuilding coils, less cotton is better. Took me a loooong time. I also learned that if I get juice on my hand I won't die.

Backups for your Backups backups

I learned that after dry burning, even if you think the coil had enough time to cool down, dont touch it, it's probably still hot, and it will hurt.

Listen to the person who tells you not to use more than 6mg when building subohms on an RDA.

I actually laughed out loud, better than a mere lol.
I've never, in my entire existence, used so many paper towels than I do now, and they're not that cheap. The art of paper towel contorting should have it's own forum, same with toothpicks. Though they don't have the same manipulating capabilities as the pt.

I've learned...
to not purchase a huge quantity of anything until I've tried a few products from any one company.
that I don't need an entire laboratory set of beakers and all thing related to diy.
that a pv is not actually a writing implement, no matter how often I forget and try it as such.
that I can live without cigs and be content =), something I never thought was possible as a smoker.

It's an on-going joke here that my hubby refuses to use the 'expensive napkins' and gets the huge packages of the cheap white napkins for like $1.79...and guess what I use a lot of them for these days?? I DIY too and they're easier to grab since you don't need to pull them off a roll...poor guy!!

Wait you haven't yet tried to vape your toothbrush? Lord I did when I first started.

OMG, me too! I keep a roll of paper towels and a roll of toilet tissue next to my vaping gear. There's nothing I can't reach/clean with one or the other folded in some particular way.

LOL, no, but I did try to vape my letter opener. Hey, I had a stack of mail and was reading one while opening others.

 

[SueandCootie]

After I got an MVP I find I sometimes try to vape my phone...we need a phone mod! Samsung tanks, Apple kicks...think about it!!!

 

[DavidOck]

I've learned to fold a paper towel for guide "lines" and cut it into 16 small vaper towels. One or two of those is usually enough.

I've learned that there is still a purpose for pipe cleaners.

 

[tp4tissue]

I've learned that metal expands when hot.. more than you'd expect

I have learned not to trust ANY juice reviews. They say Taste is subjective.

Some Subjects have no TASTE
