Wow toilets are dangerous!

You can be sure the FDA is looking into this ...

Wow toilets are dangerous!

Thank goodness for ECF.

This is the kind of information you just don't find in other forums.

Go ahead, Google it. You'll see.

bury it for several days to a week,,,,,,,,,the rice will hopefully draw out the moisture,,,,,,if you're lucky, it will save your battery,,,,,,,

The battery is most likely to be lithium - so if water got into it you'd know all about it!!

The pressure sensor that senses when you take a drag is probably the bit that gets ruined.

Another thing that does the sensor in, is; refilling with fluid without removing the carto from the battery first - I stripped a battery and wired in a microswitch (in the Vapourlites its integral with the lithium battery charge management, so has to be rewired back in). In the end I found the Li battery too much aggro, so I glued the threaded insert the carto screws into to an AA battery holder - now I use Ni-Mh/Ni-Cd batteries and a microswitch.

Fortunately, no sentimental value, except it being expensive and my favorite ring.

Oh no

me too,,,,,,,,,,PVs can be replaced, generally far more cheaply than jewelry,,,,,, AND jewelry can be more sentimental than many mods,,,,,,

note I said MANY and not all

I dropped a battery in the river once while paddling. Snatched up and kept on vaping.

The battery is most likely to be lithium - so if water got into it you'd know all about it!!

Lithium the element will burn violently in water. Rechargeable batteries are lithium ion and if on fire can be put out with water. Disposable lithium batteries I believe do use lithium so you would not want douse them with water.

All I ever did was launder one of my old Blus. Left on a desk after. When I tried it months later, it worked!! Well, it worked as well as any Blu does.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Well, a lesson learned!! Hopefully your loss will save countless others from this fate!

Proper precautions must be observed while taking in the delight of vooping.


(vaping and pooping)

Outside at work not long after quiting analogues out of habit I "flicked" my kr808 to the concrete when finished. It did not bounce. RIP.

So sorry, but thanks for the chuckle! So you're a numpty newbie?

 

[Mark Anthony]

Thanks for the advice..... LoL

 

[stuntsunltd.]

Lol vooping. I needed a good chuckle

 

[elfy]

Im not eating that rice

 

[Sickkboy]

Lucky me, I dropped just a drip tip while vooping.

 

[James15]

I think this is how the rice works

 

[slicknick]

I remember back in the day I dropped my pager in the toilet, and it flushed. There may or may not have been some alcohol involved.

 

[WileECoyote]

"numpty" that is a new word for this Yank. Dropping mine in the loo is actually a fear of mine. Now I know it is a reality. LOL

 

[pit afez]

hahaha

 

[Volt_Monger]

This has also happened to me a cheap eGo but i saved the batt with the rice trick

 

[always9988]

I managed to send one of my volt batteries through the washer and dryer a few months back... it didn't work when I found it but for some reason I kept it. Tried it a few days ago and good as new. I'm guessing it just needed to dry out all the way...

 

[seahawkin]

I have done it... Twice... With a Provari... A coworker bought me a lanyard cause she was worried I would start smoking again if I lost my ecig.



PS - No Provaries were harmed during this process.
