I just dropped my eGo T in the toilet. I quickly grabbed it out and rinsed it off. I disassembled it and put the atty and battery in a bag of rice. Is this my best bet or is there a better way?

You don't have to worry about the atty, it can get submerged without damaging it. The battery is a different matter. Don't put it in a bag of rice, and also don't press the button until it is completely dry. I'd probably try shaking the water I can out of the space around the button, then set it in a warm room for a day or so. Then, see if it works.
What the heck is the bag of rice for? Isn't the battery totally sealed? Obviously I've never dropped it in water, but good info nonetheless.
I think I'd be submerging both in a bucket of Lysol before doing anything else!! 8-o
the ego battery should be totally sealed yeah, I've ran mine under a faucet with no issues. If you're really worried about it, use silica gel. I keep them every time I get a packet in food or a bottle of vitamins or whatever so that If my phone or laptop get wet I've got silica gel to take care of it. If it were me though, I'd just dry it off, maybe soap and water since toilets are nasty.
Rice pulls moisture out of the air which is why so many restaurants put it in the salt shakers here in the south. 
Ya the tank is a right off. I was thinking how I could sanitize it after if it still works. Atty I can boil but the battery? Lysol wipe maybe or chuck the whole thing and learn my lesson. NO vaping ON THE JOHN!! At least it's a good excuse for my wife why I "have" make another order. More toys!

Yep, I never fill a salt shaker without a thin layer of rice in the bottom. Otherwise all you get is a single solid lump.
Even around the button?
This is a great idea. I would avoid the rice because I'd be afraid that the dust may get into a damp spot near the button and get sticky.
Not up here in dry Alberta. I wish I lived somewhere that needed rice in salt shakers!
Thank you guys for the quick replys! I got it in rice with two pieces bread by the heater. I will see how that goes.
Yeah, and some mayonnaise, sliced tomato, a little lettuce and some chips.
lol....there is a thread floating out here somewhere where a member lost her batt.....she finally found it after a snow melt....it had been on the walk/drive covered in snow and walked on.....still works like a champ!!!
