To your vaping, D'oh! moments

I'll start the ball rolling as this happened right now :-[

I've owned several GGTS mods, couple of stealths as well and it's only right now that I've twigged to get an 18500 to fit, you remove the top tube and WOW, you can even fit an 18350!

That's me spent several hundreds of pounds on this kit and all this time I never knew how to use it properly

Seriously, mortified

Still not as bad as the time I tried vaping a Katana with the top cap off, damn that was hot LOL

So, spill

[smudge]

Got an echomiser and attached it to the Riva....nada...not so much as a quiet hiss. B***er that, thinks me, guess eventually I'd get summat that doesn't work.

Of course it helps if you turn the damn battery on.......................

D'oh

I ordered 2 18650's from torchy on ebay. They turned up today and don't fit in the Caravela......should have read the description - 69.7mm - and really should have measured up the C+. I just thought they would all be the same size, like the AW one I have..... :-[

[Todd]

Ohhh, feel your pain on the senybors, got 4 of them here and they only fit in the GGTS now

Not vaping but mod building in the summer (the bit we had) I was trying to finish a mod to catch the post,all wired up and it wouldn't work changed the batteries nothing as this was still on a breadboard and not in the case I didn't realise the batteries were attached to a different board "doh" until I had stripped it down again and rewired it.

Had a funny moment couple of days ago when spraying plasdip on my sigmax, got it masked off and in my hand, sprayed it and just as I finished bulb blew in the room light, late night and pitch black. Stumbled into the next room, wet sigmax in hand and stood thinking WTH am I going to stand here while it dries. It was funny trying to change a bulb in the dark with one hand.

Not knowing juice should be dripped onto cart foam & not poured straight into carts.
Buying battery connectors when I meant to buy adaptors, TWICE.

Yesterday, dropped Spinner onto floor & button sank half way in & wouldn't fire. No problem, I read a thread on UKV & can fix this, right?.
Suggestion 1: Give blunt end a sharp tap on hardback book. Clutter bludgeons a torch with the Spinner & the button sinks in completely.
Suggestion 2: Too complicated, so I improvised & rootled around with a dental pick trying to tease the blighter out. Stopped to extract the pointy pick from my finger & hunt down a plaster.
Suggestion 3: Stick an old eGo attie on Spinner & GENTLY ease top off using rocking motion, reorient button & shove the gubbins back where they came from. I think I wasn't gentle enough. A corner of the plastic thing with 4 corners now only has 3 corners & the tube shrunk cos it won't all go back. More rootling & a green & a red wire have come unstuck from their connections. Shoved Spinner not at all gently into a drawer.

Next Step: Ordered 900mAh SS replacement from LF using 25% dissie code.
Further Action: Contact Maccafan with a view to repair or spare of Fatboy.

Should've done that before you used the Wolverhampton "sponner" method and would have been easier..

Send it or drop it off to me and I will have a look see..

not putting cap on 30ml ry4 properly leaving on passenger seat then wondering why my van stunk of it.
sitting at a meeting whilst manager asking what that smell was with a pocket soaked in tab blend from broken clearo
throwing a clearo away when it was the battery
thinking the cover on a 306 was the drip tip.

i'm sure i'm not the only one but unscrewing the tube when you're supposed to be removing a nova tank and getting soaked in juice :-[

I very nearly missed doing that two days ago with a clearo mounted on my new Vamo. The knurled bit at the bottom sits lower than on an eGo, and I was within half a turn of popping the tank on a full clearo before realising what was about to happen and covering myself in juice. I'llalso make sure I don't screw clearos on as tightly as on that occasion too!
Will be a lot more careful next time!

Been there and done that in the office, all over the desk and keyboard.
Stunk the whole office out lol
