mthor Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 OK, so I just finished charging my ecig , put in the cartridge, took a drag, and it made a loud "Pop" sound. Does that mean it's going to blow up in my face? (It;s not so much the blowing up I mind, it's seeing Packard/faux Kenny vindicated.) Please don't laugh too hard. I've only been doing this for about a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuggnificent Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 probably some fluid in the wrong place.. . vaping it should clear it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename: Jackass Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 If it was in there with the cartridge, you probably have nothing to worry about. Sometimes the liquid in the wick pops. Battery explosion warning signs are if it gets extremely hot, doesn't produce consistent voltage, or if it starts to deform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Says-No Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 i have vaped a lot to quit smoking the pop is common its just the coils heating up with cold fluid touching it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mthor Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 How loud? What kind/brand? It was like a single popcorn kernel popping. It's a logic - got it at the drug store, sort of on a whim. One of my friends was working at the counter, and she found me a couple of coupons. Such a deal - I had been going to buuy cigarettes, and the ecig and a pack of cartridges wound up costing less and lasting about 3 times longer.

How has it worked for you? I've talked to a lot of people who've been successful with it, but I still ask, just because the more I hear, the more encouraged I am that this may actually work.

André Toulon Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Fresh cartridges always pop IME......I love to hear it.....But yeah, heating would be one of the worse signs of a possible explosion. I had an old one that started getting really hot when it was charging.....TRASH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mthor Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 We get it, you vape. No, I smoke. Like a fucking chimney. For longer than you've been alive, and it's starting to cause problems. I may richly deserve them, but if switching over to vaping slows them down, I'll be pleased. It maybe trivial and boring to you, but I have a bit of a vested interest in it. Sorry; I'll trying to be more entertaining next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry; I'll trying to be more entertaining next time. It's honestly only marginally better and the advantages are purely "cosmetic" I'm still hooked to the nicotine, and it really does make you look like a douche, just a different kind of douche than the people huddled for warmth sucking down a flaming stick in the dead of winter.....But you don't stink anymore....That's the only advantage......Plus I don't think it's been around long enough to prove that it actually causes ultramega cancer.

mthor Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 There's one big difference - no combustion. Had a doctor's appointment yesterday, and there's already an improvement in my blood work with only vaping about 2/3 of the time.. As far as cancer - it was too late years ago. My dad quit smoking when he was 40, and 35 years later developed bladder cancer. (This is why I eat a stick of butter wrapped in bacon every morning for breakfast - I want a nice catastrophic vascular event. And the nicotine can only help.) And I've always looked like a douche - if I stopped at this point, nobody'd recognize me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
