Dropped my mod cod in water help

[Coastal Cowboy]

A max output of 40w is a very good system to start out with. My first "real" mod had a max output of 15w, and it's still in use after almost four years.

Here are a couple to look at.

Well, you've already dried it out in a hair dryer and rice... I'd let it sit (as deconstructed as you are able to make it be, for me that would be removing the battery cover, mod, batteries obviously, etc., other people might take that to a different level) and try once again in a day or two.

If you still have flickering, IMO, you have fried something in your mod. Could send it back for warranty/repair, though this would be more of a repair situation (unless magically, mods don't fall under that cellphone provision, though to be fair, my kid dropped his cellphone in H20 several times, and we never had a problem with warranty, even though warranty is technically *voided* if there is water damage... Either they could not tell, or didn't want to bother with it, not sure which). Either way though, you may not have that mod for a while, may be time to start looking at what you want out of a backup setup (you might choose something different for variety) while you're working on this one....

Best of luck,

I never have any problems when I drop my phone in the water. In fact I have purposely tossed my phone in the sink to wash it with running water. Benefits of a Galaxy S7.. IP68 rating for the win

I know I'm late to the party here, but I have dropped a Coolfire 4 into water before. I got it out quick, removed the battery just as quickly as I could, and did what I could to get any water out.

I then allowed it to air dry for about a week, popped a battery in, and it worked fine. It is possible though that you have already damaged the electronics based on your post about the flickering.

I've had good luck taking it apart, and washing in distilled water, using a tooth brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The summer desert sun (in SW USA) dries them out in a few hours. Insert battery (outside), and see what you get. I've had to toss mods that got wet/froze before, but I have saved a few. It's all chance.

In the cemetery:

IPV5 (Beer spilled on it, bright flash)
IPV5 (Froze in block of ice)
Sigelei 150 (Just fell apart)
Sigelei Spark (Froze in block of ice)
Sigelei Spark (Fell in puddle)

But I do have 2 Sparks that survived massive juice spills and getting dunked.

So that's 2/7 survived.

May I ask HOW your mods wound up frozen in a block of ice?

Unloading truck in a snow storm, set mods on edge of truck bed. Was hurrying. I had other mods ready to go, figured I find them eventually. New storm approaches, blows them into the bed (I guess), snow melts. Storm passes, temps are about 10F. (This all happened overnight.) Melted snow collected in truck bed (I park on a slope) and freezes with the mods in the chunk. Didn't find those for a couple weeks I think, until the thaw.
