Sharon Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 My favorite juice just arrived in the mail and I immediately went to fill my carto. In hast, I unscrewed the cap of a 30 ml bottle, turned it upside down to fill and the drip top came off. All, but about 3 mils, was quickly absorbed by my jeans and sofa cushion. LOL! Lesson #73 - ALWAYS check to make sure the drip top is securely attached to the bottle before using. Don P and Patricia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I had just filled up my 3.5ml Viva Nova with my favorite Blue Honey and I placed the collar then the VN on the battery. Then I noticed that I had put it on the wrong battery so in a rush I quickly unscrewed what I thought was the VN from the collar but the bottom of the VN must not have been on tight because the whole bottom of the VN came off and 3.5ml of my favorite juice spilled into my Nursing uniform lap just before having to walk into her home. I am a Home Health Nurse. I shyly explained. She was so proud that I had quit smoking it took all the tension about the big grease spot you know where.

Deckyon Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Mine was when I went to unscrew my rebuildable clearo CE4 off the battery to put a new battery on and took the tank off instead, juice running all down my hands dripping onto the screen of my iPad. had a screen-protector on it, nothing happened to the iPad, but man... greasy stuff, that juice. I now double-check where I am grabbing the rebuildables every time now. Sharon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcartervol98 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Nothing all that "epic" for me, but I have dropped mine several times where the cap of my T2 popped off and the liquid spilled out. Probably the worse was when I was trying to transfer from one bottle to the other. I order mostly 100ml bottles but they are too tall for the travel case I use, so I keep 50ml bottles and split them up for easier carrying. I was squeezing a bottle of Strawberry Fields into a 50ml bottle and I obviously was squeezing too hard and the tip shot off and about 30-40ml ended up on the counter.

Now, what I really want to know is, did you try to salvage any of the spilled juice?????? I know I would be trying to scoop up the better part of that juice spill!

ArnieH Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Yes, ya gotta be careful unscrewing alot of these tanks, especially the ones that don't have knurling (so you can grip it good) on the bottom. If you don't grip the atty or bottom cap portion, you end up with a mess. I used to think spilling/knocking over my ashtrays was terrible. E-cigs can be just as messy. Ha.

IMEDICx90 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I dumped my friends carto tank in my lap yesterday. Talk about a mess!!! He bought one with a replaceable tube.... He had a 10ml tube on it........ Sharon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant951 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Today at worked I noticed a piece of string or something caught in the thread of my vivi nova and I wanted to make sure it wasn't a crack so I tipped it upside down and unscrewed the bottom. Out came 1ml of juice through the drip tip since un screwing it released the plastic thing sealing the lid and tank. Didn't have a back up on me . Lesson learned.

Compenstine Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I DIY all my own juice so i can always make it when i get low.. But the worst one was just a day ago. I dumped over a 250 ml bottle and the cap wasn't on tight and poped off. I had forgot to tighten it... Lost about 30-35ml into the carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydre Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Ow, Compenstine, that had to hurt. Mine was a series of errors. After I got my Davide, after I finished most of the first tank, I went to unscrew the base to refill (while, all the time, asking hubby to hand me the 618), except, I didn't unscrew the knurled part, I unscrewed the smooth metal above that.....so essentially, my Davide came apart in my hand, with juice dripping down my hand. Then, once I got my Zmax, I got in the habit of tightening the Evods too tight half the time. So when I would go to take them off......you guessed it, part of the time, the base stayed attached to the zmax. First time it happened right over my keyboard (yikes!). Every other time I went to take an Evod off, I would do it over my lap or at least the portion of my desk between my keyboard and me that has a towel on it for accidental spills. But I did get smart after the first couple of times, and when I would take an Evod off, I would do it inverted, so I didn't spill any liquid, lol. Then I FINALLY figured out what was causing it the last time it happened, when it was tight enough that I couldn't unscrew it even after I removed the coil, and hubby had to do it. So, of course, not having that problem anymore, but I lost, well, I think around a total of 15 ml of juice just from those Evod disasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in my office so everything smelled like a Mellonball for the rest of the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbieVapor Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I was a little too inebriated at a friend's place and needed to refill my cartridge. This was when I was first starting out, and wanted to "show it off" to the best of my ability. My friends wanted to watch me to see how I did it (only a few of them used e-cigs, most just smoked regular analogs). Well, the dripper never made it to the cartridge before I started squeezing. Squeezed out about 3ml 'til I realized what was happening... There were TWO lessons learned: 1) Pre-fill to last through a night out 2) Don't drink and drip!

sonofzell Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Leave it to me to outshine my own previous stupidity! So I head into the bathroom, armed with the iPhone and my PV (don't judge me - with 3 kids it's the only peaceful place in the house lol). As I'm settling into "the position" with the PV in my mouth and the phone in hand... Crash! There I am, in all my glory... the Kanger drip tip still in my teeth, a broken tank laying in its own juice on the tile floor, and my pants around my ankles. "One of those days" indeed.
