I had a bizzare shock this morning as I was cleaning and fiddling around with my DCT. I noticed as I looked down the metal drip tip, there seemed to be an obstruction in the tube. I presumed it was some kind of gunk build up so I fished it out with a nail.
Upon closer examination, my wife and I decided it could only be some sort of bug... it was around 5mm long, in several pieces and had a feeler/leg thing on it! I reckon it to be a Leatherback/spider sort of beast.
I can only presume it had crawled into the aperture whilst left overnight and got stuck! How long it had been there, God knows, but the idea of possibly vaping for weeks, with this thing in it nearly made me throw a wobbler!
I could try and post a picture if anyone can tell me how to display it on here or somewhere else...(I'm on a Mac).

OMG, yuck!
I'm from the US and what is a "wobbler." I tried to look it up on my London slang site, but couldn't find it!

Maybe you've discovered a new species. Let's call it a Cartobug from the Cartocretaeous genus ..... do I sound like I know what I'm talking about?  |

Have posted pic on TW Facebook site.
PS 'Throwing a Wobbler' is Mancunian slang for losing one's marbles!

I figured that, but was wondering if "wobbler" has a meaning by itself! |

yeah I would like to see this e liquid loving insect lol
Chances are it crawled in there overnight as you said but then with the nicotine in the carto it probably got paralysed by the nic and died

I'm wondering if a prankster at work may have been responsible.

dan just think how many spiders you will have consumed while sleeping. Vaping one is certainly not on my list of worries lol. I just hope it doesnt effect Throat Hit negatively
