    Default Shocked, Amazed and Happy

    One of my biggest fears happened today. My e-cig was in my shirt pocket and fell out as I leaned over the pool. Before I could grab the skimmer it had rolled down to about a 6ft depth. I finally got it out after about 2 minutes, rinsed the battery and blew it out immediately with canned air. I soaked the atty in everclear for an hour, blew that out and it all still works. The cartridge was tossed in the garbage as I'm afraid of the possible chlorine residue. I thought for sure the battery would have shorted, but been using it for about an hour now and all is well.

    It amazes me the abuse we put our ecigs thru and they keep on working. But look at it wrong just one time and it will never vape again, lmao

    You should work on a mod that can be used under water. Just think, vaping at 100ft. a divers dream come true.

    I've seen quite a few electronic devices survive a water dunk. As long as they're not active, they have a chance. They just have to be fully dry before re activating.

    I found that the clip on a tire pressure gauge(like the ones that used to come on ball point pens) will fit nicely on a pen style atty. It ain't pretty but will keep it safely in your pocket lol

    I've dropped my Nebula on the hard concrete several times before. It's never suffered any damage that I can see.

    I'm glad these things seem to be pretty durable!

    What kind of e-cig was that?

    That was my original one, a Health E-cig. The same one I've dropped in paint and the pool pit in the past. I rarely use my M401's or 510's around the pool.
