ddavelarsen Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 So my wife made some typically superfine soup this weekend and naturally I looked forward to my lunches this week. Because I'm no power-mad suit carrying a briefcase, nor am I some sneaker-wearing parent with a ballistic nylon lunch kit, I carry my lunch and whatever to work in a plastic grocery bag. Suits my proletariat leanings quite nicely. This morning I packed my lunch, the bills to mail, the "quick start" guide to my new Droid, some other notes of stuff I needed to do today, and my VP PT & juice in a trusty plastic grocery bag. And headed out the door. Before I backed out of the driveway I hooked the PT into the car's outlet and dripped some juice onto the atty. Dang thing dripped 'juice' all over my slacks! And had a really wet hit. Yuck, I thought, time to clean this atty. But there was sufficient vapor to get me to work. When I set the bag on my desk and started pulling stuff out of it I noticed ... everything was wet! And smelled like soup... Rats! Frantically I got stuff out of there and everything was covered in soup; notes, bills, vitamin jar ... PT. Cold and greasy soup. Sloshing around in the bottom of the bag. A 6 ml bottle of watermelon just below the surface of the little lake in there. Sigh. Okay, long story short I blotted all the paper stuff dry, took my PT to the sink and used damp paper towels to clean it off, stuck the corner of a paper towel into the atty, cried a little, and went back to my desk. I debated a moment to decide whether I wanted to risk a short pluging that thing into the company's computer, but I figured that was better than risking my own. Hey! It lit up! So I screwed the atty on it, dripped some nice watermelon onto it ... Hey! It worked! Tasted a little bit like wet socks - actually, old wet socks - but it kicked out some vapor so I was heartened. To shorten this some more, the soup-flavored atty has finally come all the way back around. I'm certainly relieved. Christopher 1
Vacker1229 Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Been there -- done that. I am now a proud owner of the ballistic nylon lunch kit.

BirdDog Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 That was a pretty hard start to day. Really glad the contents of the bag made it out alive. Does this mean lunch out today?

I'll be watching the VT Store for a new "wet socks" juice flavor in the near future...given your glowing recommendation.

kato07 Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 sounds like a new forum site...'vapor soup'!!!LOL
Lordvapor Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 I got a nylon lunch box.... Now I will finally get to use it after 10 months.... If your wondering what I am talking about read my post in the vapor lounge... wet socks....I'll pass

kitsune Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 The Moral of the story---always make sure your soup is sealed tightly in the container and wrapped in its very own plastic bag !!! not sure I want to try vaping soup of any kind--especially if it tastes like old wet socks !!!!! New wet socks--Maybe...

DAYVAPE Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Wow. I'm sure glad everything came out ok in the end for you though!! That coulda been a disaster in the making!
Schizophretard Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Wow! That would suck! I use a tiny diabetes zip up bag thingy for my toys when at work. You should probably invest in some kind of separate bag/carrying case.

Dajamster Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Wow! That would suck! I use a tiny diabetes zip up bag thingy for my toys when at work. You should probably invest in some kind of separate bag/carrying case. Schiz, you're a genius! I was looking all over Walmart today for an appropriate carrying case for my vape gear. The cases I saw online were too small. Considered sewing/tackle boxes, not quite there yet... Will have to check out the diabetes section some time soon!
Brian Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Schiz, you're a genius! Well that's a first!!! Schiz - just kidding!
ddavelarsen Posted January 20, 2010 Author Posted January 20, 2010 Thanks for all the good time replies my friends. Cripes, what a day. Vaping soup was just the beginning... At least our LordVapor had a good one though! Hat's off to you bro; I'll try to get over there before I have to go to sleep. BirdDog, in fact it was pizza today. Not bad, but not homemade soup. Sigh. Schizo, I'm with you man - not putting my stuff in anything but my pocket anymore! I do have a kind of 'man purse' - it's a WWI Swiss ammo case, beat up leather, not too girlie-boy stuff. I can put my VP2 and juice and spares in it just fine, PT - not quite. I'll just hang that around my neck and hope I don't get into an accident on my commute. Brian taking the rest of the day off was in fact my plan - until the workday intervened. Sheesh. Classic Monday. Oh wait! ... Well, freakin Monday anyway. I appreciate all the good humor, this was a prime day for it. Vape on!
Schizophretard Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Schiz, you're a genius! I was looking all over Walmart today for an appropriate carrying case for my vape gear. The cases I saw online were too small. Considered sewing/tackle boxes, not quite there yet... Will have to check out the diabetes section some time soon! I leave a tackle box at home full of vape toys but use the diabetes bag for work. My tackle box is turning out to be smaller than I thought. I'm thinking about upgrading to one of the big metal red tool boxes with all the drawers or maybe buy a shed. I'm about to watch Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 but when I'm done I'll post the bag in the gallery for you.
Schizophretard Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Well that's a first!!! Schiz - just kidding! Ha! Ha! Ha! I don't get it.
ddavelarsen Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 My diabetes bag for on the go. That looks great man! Coffee sprayed out my nose with the 'shed' remark!
nana Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 My diabetes bag for on the go. Nice bag. I've looked for something like that, but haven't found one.
nana Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Well, Dave, what can I say? I'm sorry you had such a rough start to your day. But I sure am glad you have such a great sense of humor. But really, you haven't thought about a shed for you supplies yet? LOL I loved that one, too!! I've already filled up my little plastic tote (about the same size as a small tool box) and now have more juice making supplies on the way and I'm wondering what to do with them.
kitsune Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Nana--I got a case logic USB case that is perfect. Office Depot, and saw them at wal-mart with computer stuff. http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_constraint=0&ic=48_0&search_query=case+logic+usb&Find.x=0&Find.y=0&Find=Find http://www.caselogic.com/6_capacity_usb_drive_shuttle/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=66166
