cleaning an atty and drying time...what's the reason to wait?

[xiotaki]

so I have this 510 tank atty that I have thoroughly violated in order to remove the spike plate and I ran some hot water on the heating coil. Being that there is no more wicking material or anything else to retain moisture, I don't see a reason to give it any dry time...or would it somehow damage my battery? Logic says that it should be fine, but before I fire this atty up I'd like to check in with yall.

It might be a soggy hit if it's damp but attys love to be wet with juice. I don't get it from a chemistry level. I just know that I rinse my attys out at night in hot water, blow them out well and they're ready to vape in the morning. If I try to vape an atty I just rinsed it tastes soggy no matter how much I blow the water out. It doesn't hurt my equipment to vape with a freshly cleaned atty, just a soggy-flavor/hit issue.

I'm assuming you're using a manual PV with a sealed battery.

If you have auto batteries you don't want the juice to get super-thin and kill your battery perhaps.

If you used ISO alcohol, it's poison

And if something is too wet you may be able to short something with water.

But if it's water and you shake/blow it out it should be ok.
