Ok, now I have gone and done it, I broke my toy. Am I safe to keep going?

K100 with, extension tube, sigelei kick, and 18650 battery.

I was removing the EVOD and I unscrewed the tank from the bottom (what a mess). I immediately removed the battery and kick, disassembled everything and cleaned with paper towels. I cleaned the EVOD, replaced coil with a new one, filled it and put on my back-up (Vamo V5).

How do I clean the K100? What are the chances e-juice got to the kick? I did not notice anything on the paper towel I used inside the mod, the battery and the kick, but that does not relieve the concern I might short it by reassembling. Your experience needed greatly. Thank you for looking and any advice you have to offer.

If that would happen to my mech I would clean the mech parts is hot dishwater rinse and let dry, maybe hand dry then let air dry.

I would clean the kick by pouring distilled water over it, if it looks like there is liquid all over it. If it doesn't I would clean with qtips and ISO. Let air dry a few days with a few times hitting it with a hairdryer on cool (if using distilled water on it)(If just using ISO I would let dry over night.

If that battery looks contaminated with liquid I would tape it and drop it in the bucket at Lowe's and buy a new one.

Im not sure you cant get liquid through to the k100s internals as it is a sealed 510 connector. If theres no juice on the kick or battery youre good, just clean off your 510 connector and evod etc and vape

I feel a little better now. thank you..

@bluecat... What is ISO... it is not in the abbreviated vaping terminology list. Sorry, not being an :censored: just new.

Sorry mate. Isopropyl alcohol. Rubbing alcohol. The high the % the better it is to clean electronics with.

If it is sealed like the person said, I wouldn't worry about it. You should be able to see liquid on the kick. I have a nemy clone and kick and have had liquid run down the outside but it never got inside.

Before I vape I always look for a throw spot just in case. I guess I am weird about that.
