My son peed on my work laptop when he was 2. Reaching for something on my desk and kaboom....all over the keyboard. I couldn't move for a few seconds as it was such a weird sight that I though I was having some kind of flashback, but he nailed my laptop good.

I immediately pulled the battery out and dried it out for a few days, and it worked fine.

My point? If you are going to pee on your electronics, do it away from water and your device may live to see another day.

People who say a mod dropped the toilet is toast are goofy. The best way to dry out that mod is to put it in a bag of rice. Inside the bag of rice, drop in two M80's and a bunch of lady fingers and coat everything with lighter fluid. Run the fuse so the lady fingers are the first in the string. Now get some green army men and position them 100 yards back to scale. Then call in an air strike and light the fuse while you listen to The Door "Riders of the Storm" If the mod makes it out in one piece, great, it's sanitized and useable. If not, then you have a small glimpse into what the view was like for our men in the field when the Viet Cong hiding in the jungle got napalmed and shelled.

I hears of vooping and have been guilty of a few sessions myself but never heard of anyone dropping their mod in the stool. I'm with everyone else on this one sterilize the bejesus out of it and leave it dry out for a few days and just to be sure all is ok I would probably use rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip clean all the parts you could and then used compressed air to blow it out so that there is no chance of crystallized urine or something going to short out the board. I would definitely use extreme caution trying to use it after until you're sure it isn't damaged. And rip your build out of your atomizer and run it through an ultra sonic cleaner or boil it really good. Finally I would turn away from the throne before trying to pocket any future devices Lol!!!!!!!!!

Too bad there wasn't a Bidet handy. A soothing warm water rinse would have cleaned that mod right up. And, the additional water would have certainly ruined it, eliminating any question about putting your lips on it ever again.

It's as bad as it sounds. Possibly worse. Went to my brilliant local shop this morning and bought myself a Smok Alien (great mod by the way)

Anyway, went to the toilet at work this evening and was having a quick stealth vape as I'm not allowed ... breaks, went to put my mod in my pocket and it missed! Straight into the toilet. In a state of blind panic, my hand shot into the toilet sloshing dirty toilet water everywhere. Fished it out and began to shake in panic! Amazingly, it worked? Haven't used it yet as my cleito 120 needs a DEEP clean but should I be weary of my batteries?

Anyone else ever been in this situation?

I just dropped my smoke alien mod in the river it fully sumbmerged and I was so freaked as it is not cheap and I have barely had it a week I took the battery's out right away and left it in the sun for about half hour and when I got home I took the air compressor and blew the crap out of it put it all back together and tried it, it of course hit a bit hard thanks to some river water in the coil but after 5 hits or so hitting like it always did no perceivable damage. I did this after finding out the electronics are sealed which is a big plus and probably why it is not fried. This is my experience so I'm not sure if this is just because it was not in use when dropped and I immediately took the battery's out or not so I would probably still wait a day to fully let it dry if you get it wet I just thought I would take the risk and see what happens

I dropped an old school eGo into the Hudson River which is just as bad. DO NOT USE IT! Right away, at least. Full disassembly and breakdown, wash the atty and wipe off anything you can, then let it all dry completely. Fortunately mine worked just fine afterwards. (I may not have bothered to clean it as thoroughly as I just suggested) If it dries out without damaging the circuitry it should be all right.

I vaped a mosquito this week.... and didn't like it.

Damned huge Smok TFV8 drip tips. Heard some crackling, the taste was terrible and then I saw the charred little bugger.

Blech.

There are people on this very forum who would pay dearly for a 10ml bottle of boutique Skeeter Juice.
