OMG my vape fell in the toliet I forgot that it was in the back of my pocket and it fell and I quickly grabbed it and I tried to vape on it and it was just turning on itself without me turning on the button and just completely turned off after.:(

What should I do in this situation?!?

THANKS FOR LOOKING!
1) Well, you could get checked for infection
2) Isopropyl Alcohol flush, soak, dry MAY help but if you can't remove the battery on it you don't want it to further short out either so use caution. Also the battery may be overly discharged. So toss the battery if it's swappable.

The alcohol will evaporate away and displace the water. Use 91 % or 99%. But be ready to toss it away like a grenade if it gets hot. The alcohol soak will help disinfect too.

Best to toss it and get a new one.

isopropyl alcohol USP 99 or better i have saved Iphones by submersing them to displace water, if itds not handy some moonshine or 100proof alcohol.
coarse salt is also amazing at getting the first major portion of water out as well, but difficult if the grains enter the electronics.
