Stupidest Thing You've Done in DIY?

Okay. I’ve been mixing since 2015, and no idea why I just now figured this out. I can take the top off the vg container bottle (mine has a twist top) and pour out VG faster in my 120 ml bottles. I’ve been killing my hands squeezing that bottle for years, and it just hit me today ROFLMAO.

Stupidest thing I’ve done…? Ummm…? Single flavor taste test for Granny Smith Apple (TPA).

For hours, I considered licking the bottom of my (a) cat’s feet, straight out of the litter box to get the taste of apple cider vinegar out of my mouth…

Mind you, this was before we even had a cat. I wanted to find a random cat and take them out of their litter box…

Forget their owner. Let them wonder why I’m licking Tidy Cat off their kitty’s paws.

Had a full gallon jug of VG that I had poured about 150ml out of and I put the jug on it’s side on top of my kitchen cabinet. Apparently, I didn’t tighten the cap all the way and overnight it slowly dripped out onto the couter, microwave and floor below it. Anyone who has had to clean up a moderate amount of VG knows what a pain this is. Imagine about a quart of it everywhere.

How strange, I did EXACTLY the same thing in my bedroom closet, with a gallon of vg, not upright.
I lost about a quart too.
All over the things below it.
Which was about a load of laundry and some wiping of things not clothes.
Dumbest thing I ever did, was to order the beginners package of ten (plus three additional flavors ordered), from liquid barn with the pg and vg, and mix it all the night I got it.
I thought it was like cooking, mix coconut and pineapple and voila! It’s a pina colada!
Still have those. In my cupboard unvaped.
I’ve gotten better.
Way better.

OMG I bet that was a mess guys! Yesterday I forgot to put nic in one of my bottles and went to pry the cap off and dumped it down my shirt, and even that little 120 ml was a mess, can’t imagine doing a quart or more. Can’t find my little tool that pops the cap so was using a butter knife LOL

edited to add I smelled like a bakery though until I showered hahaha

I shot a ml of FA fuji into my eyeball. I was measuring with a syringe and my leg just out of nowhere started crazy itching. With the hand holding the syringe I tried digging my.knuckles in the itchy spot, I unintentionally mashed the plunger down shooting Fuji in my eye. IT BURNED!

I also melted the side of the pg bottle with an iron. I

I guess the stupidest thing ive done was dropped 500ml of Salt Nic . I was opening a brand new bottle and somehow it slipped out of my hands right after I tore the seal off…

I’ve done that a few times with coffee creamer. My arthritic hands sometimes don’t grip as well as I want them to and…oops! I’ve learned that a foil cutter is built right into the spout. Just turn it upside down and puncture the foil. Duh! Dummy me…
