Be careful when boiling water to clean Atomizer's & Tanks...

Postby Clint » Mon Apr 11, 2011 4:05 pm

I always watch for bubbles while boiling my water in a microwave to make sure I don't accidentally superheat water. But tonight after boiling some water and waiting a minute or two for the bubbles to disappear and for the water to cool, I lowered my Magma atty into my cup, and BOOM! a huge explosion came out of my cup that shot my atty about 2 or 3 feet away from the cup. BE CAREFUL!!! Luckily I was wearing a hoodie!

Holy Crap! Luckily you didn't get hurt. Whenever you heat up water in the microwave, be sure to put a plastic utensil in the cup so that the water doesn't superheat.
