Drowned battery/atty still gling strong!!

I just thought I'd let ya know about a 510 battery/atty that I bought from you way back in December.

I had it in my mouth yesterday at work and was filling a 5 gallon bucket of coolant and water for the mill I was running...I was leaning over the bucket and for some reason my teeth unclenched, and the ecig went "kerplunk" right into the bucket, which was about 3/4ths full. I reached in and grabbed it. Water/coolant was running out of the battery (which I'd dropped and lost the plastic LED cover long ago). I shook the water out, brought the atty home and put it in some mouthwash (my standard atty cleaning solution) overnight, and let it and the battery dry out all day today. Just now I pressed the button and it still works! It doesn't even really need charging.

I know who I'll be buying my replacement batteries and attys from, from now on!!!

Meh, that topic should read "going".

That's amazing! I have heard that if you drop electronics in water it is a good idea to shut them off, and put them in crisper in the refrigerator. I'm glad it still works for you though.

I dunno, lucky I guess. I'm vaping it as I type! Plus, this thing is so old I can't see how it's still going!! Granted, the battery life is around an hour at best (it's getting tired, I think). I keep kinda hoping that it'll totally die so I can try to take it apart and make a USB passthru with it, but it just keeps on going!
