I dropped it .. IN WATER.. help!! =(

[needvapor]

Ok SO we were at Mudfest today and I had my BRAND new ecig 510 with Manual switch tucked into my bra (safe and sound) or so I thought.. when we went to the fountain to clean up (pure well water!! YUCK!!!!!!!) I bent over to clean my arms and I felt it drop and it landed in the nasty "but clear" pure well water.. at least it didnt get dropped in mud!
I just got this and it has been attached at my hip.. nothing is better than this and on the way home I had to puff away at a NON manual battery.. I am perfectly spoiled now.
Will this dry? Has anyone dropped theirs in water and let it dry and it was OK??
If not please direct me to the fairest priced USA seller on a manual battery for my 510 PLEASE.. I NEED it back asap... I cant believe I did this...Any Sales???

I hope it dries out for you and starts working, but this underlines the reasons to have some backup equipment..........

I havent seen a manual switch for that yet.. actually yesterday was the first time I used the manual.. now I dont want to live without it!
How long do you suggest I let it dry? I have in upright position now and I am about to go look up ways to clean the atty as I can just Imagaine how that awful well water would taste burning.. oh man 8-o

I feel for you I hope it starts working again. I know that I would be lost with out my manual 510

figured cant go wrong with that price. I did this yesterday for my husband.. and this one is white where as mine is black.. I really dont care if dif color at this point..LOL I need to find someone who charges less than 20.00 for a manuall battery and get another one coming in.

You think by tomorrow morning I can try to see if it works? or too early?

I has a Manual Dura-c battery go through our washer and dryer and it came out fine. Hopefully yours will be OK too

Hmm don’t use the battery for a few days any water in it will short it out.
Run the atty under clean water blow it out and let it dry to help use a hair dryer to get any standing water out

I can only PRAY!!

looks like the advice was given on the battery, that's the part to be worried about. your atomizer will dry out just fine, give it a thorough rinse and let it stand and dry overnight or longer, and just blow on the battery end (not the atty end) and make sure no more water is left.

the battery...yeah, let that thing drain as much as you can, does it have a hole in the threads in the middle? i know some people have used very small pipe cleaners BUT DON'T JAM THEM IN TOO FAR to wiggle around the inside to clean out gunk.

hopefully the batt dries out and works for you

Dont use a hairdryer. Heating up the battery is a bad idea.

Take it apart and place it in a jar or cup filled with dry white rice. Rice attracts water molecules like nothing else. let it sit there for 48 hours. If that doesn't dry it out, nothing will.

try to keep the battery in a good flow of warm a air for a few days before using. there's nothing wrong with slightly warm air...either in the flow of your computer fan, or on your cable modem etc. etc. just make sure it doesn't make the batt kick on with testing the location with another battery, b/c it could activate it.... somewhere will it will stay warmer and drier with an airflow. If you do use it, and it is completely dry, shouldn't be a problem (i had to do this with a cell phone once that fell in a toilet, i put it on top of my modem for a few days, it worked fine)..

Just don't use it while it's wet so it doesn't short out.... good luck!!!

BG - that is a pretty cool trick. Hopefully, I won't ever have to use this technique on any of my e-cigs.

This is nothing. See what happened to eplanet!!!

You could rinse everything out with distilled water (non corrosive) and dry on low heat with hair dryer or put it in rice as stated above.

It works well on a cell phone with moisture inside the screen also.

 

[needvapor]

Wow the toilet.. yikes..
I am going to try the rice for 24 hrs.. I know I can clean the atty.. but I am still a little concerned about the well water (sulfer) yucky smell.. hopefully I dont taste this! Thank you guys for all your advise I really appreciate it and I will let you know what happens. Lori B

It'll dry, dont panic!

I dropped my freshsmoking Pharaoh M401 in the TOILET before. I cleaned it, switched cartridges and it was still working perfectly. Now that's what I call quality. lol. The funny thing was how the pressure switch activated when it fell into the toilet and the light lit when it hit the basin.

I'll admit, my brain hesitated for a second about sticking my hand in there but my love for my e-cig won out.

Did you discover a new flavor?
