Earthling789 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I cleaned and re-wicked all of my RTA's last night, and only filled my authentic Russians (with my ADV) so they'd be ready to go this morning. This morning, I reached into my tank rack for a fresh tank, popped it onto my IPV, and took a hit... OMG.. (is someone burning feathers?)... Horrible... worst dry-hit in my life...When I looked down at the smoking mess in my hand, I realized, I grabbed the wrong tank... I grabbed one of the clones I had re-wicked last night (the ones NOT filled)! I just took a 1.2 Ohm / 14W drag of pure, DRY, Organic Japanese Cotton!! Moral of the story... don't grab tanks in a dimly-lit room... you might just get an empty one (and now you have to clean it, re-coi, and re-wick... after you stop choking to death)! jonnoh, Tug, jasonculp and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesar Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I do those all the time..the Stainless steel tank looks cool, but is only one way to know when you need to refill the tank... with a nasty dry hit... ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 All but one of my Russians have the poly-tank section in place, but my ADV is fairly clear... so a full tank and empty tank look the same if you just glance at them.I know what you mean about the all-steel bodied ones... you can tell when you're getting low because you start to get dry hits on the end of the drag, but if you forget to fill it up, you can get some nasty hits... still not nearly as bad as vaping fresh, dry cotton cesar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesar Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) I honestly a bit stupid with it...I have both options available, but I rather endure the nasty dry hits because I like the looks of the Stainless tank better..a bit sadomasochistic.

Time for a temp controlled mod?....hint hint....Honestly, I am not sure TC could have helped the situation. I have not tested it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Yeah, I don't think TC would have done much to prevent cooking cotton But, as soon as the IPV D2's come out, one will be in my hands jasonculp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adversarious1 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Dripping fixes that danger!! lol...not necessarily. I was in a B&M the other day trying some juices, fired my mod to burn off some juice, then promptly put the cap back on, fired and took a hit :lol: Earthling789 and kitsune 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
