DOH moment

[beeper]

Well now,, just spent the good part of a half hour trying to get the cap off my new Triton mini tank to fill the blessed thing. soo very near to getting the pliars out after exhausting the rubber glove attempt

I actually DID read the instructions>>>to fill the tank, remove the drip tip section<< so after pulling at it for half an hour just found out..

it unscrews.

Very easily infact . . . . but we've all been there with one thing or another!

Just remember to twist the top cap back to vaping mode, not filling - as I've forgotten to in the past!

hehe - we ALL have moments like that!


Just some of us don't publicly announce our moments to the world wide interwebs ...

But only after you have exhausted every other avenue - it's a man thing

Is that "doh" as immortalised by Homer Simpson?

Ha! yes the triton mini isn't so obvious on how it works. I've just been explaining to my (mod destroying) daughter how it works as I gifted her one and don't have much faith in her.

Shes on nautilus tanks but I've had a few I had to take plyers to as she massively overtightened them She expects the vaping fairy to magically fix and fill and coil change for her (that'll be me then ) all well and good but she's at uni 100 miles away for most the time

I cant really complain as I have a lovely stabwood dna40 that has the base of a footoon fx absolutely welded to the 510 and I have to unscrew the top base part off spare tank and use welded base part if I want to change tank and flavour or coil. Its a good job that the two are made for each other with teal O rings on tank and matching stabwood but I stuck with that combo forever.

In my defence the airflow is a twist one way and the base the other and then the third part the opposite and its just ended up tightened on and nothing to grip at so it'll be staying as is!

Yup i have them moments too.

I rememver when i got my first mech... i tried the 3 clicks on procedure to have a vape lol

[dalealan]

Pffftt ya haven't lived until you've either filled up a tank and forgot to put the wicks in or went to take a vape on a dripper without u putting the cap on back on first haha

Tbh, afaik swmbo always lol when she hears doh!

I had an RTA,
cap screwed off no problem.
Tank section screwed off no problem,
Chimney section pulled, screwed wouldnt budge.
In the freezer for half hour, no joy,
Boiling water into cold no joy.
Big ass pair of mole grips still no joy.
Had a mooch on the interwebs, yep left hand thread.

My point is that it's not so good being a smartass thinking you know it all..!

For what its worth, even supplied instructions can be pretty vague sometimes.
But am over the trauma now
