Just put my provari through the washer :-(

Water alone won't instantly kill electronics provided there is no power running through it. As others have stated, let it dry completely out before powering it. All it takes is one drop of water to short circuit something.

Rice definitely will help dry it out faster.

Fishtec, working or not, for doing that you should not be allowed a ProVari.
Everybody seems to be concentrating on "does it work?"
I think we should all be round your house with pitchforks and burning torches lol!

I second Tippyclubs idea. I did the same thing with my cellphone, the bag-o-rice fix works!

And if the rice works, you can cook it for a celebratory meal.

Taking the battery cap off an sliding a couple desiccant packs inside would hurt either.

LOL sorry but that sounds like something that would happen to me. Was missing on battery and just started the wash so I had that sinking feeling. Lucky for me is was between the cushions. They are good but not water proof. I now check stuff better before it goes in the wash and I don't vape over a sink or toilet. LOL Heard to may stories about fishing one out of the toilet. Yuck.

And the news is daaaa da da daaaa the provari lives settings still set and everything thanks for all the advice guys bunged it in a bag of rice as soon as I saw what had happened and put it on the radiator too for good measure next week going to wash a Darwin see if we can put this one to rest ;-)

Getting ready to speak in tongues!

"HE UNTIED A MY BOWTIE, HE STOLE-A MY HONDA!"

Meh, it and the battery should be fine! I've lost count how many times my HDS EDC flashlight and RCR16340 batteries have done the same thing and never a glitch one! Even did it with my Fenix E21 once, a much cheaper flashlight, and it still works great!
All should be fine.

I was going to pick one up from the factory but decided on a Macs Customs.
How do you like yours?

Ah grim already binned the battery no big deal I guess only 7 quid for a new one just happy the provari didnt die would want to replace one of them as quickly lol but on the plus side I have a new way to keep it clean

[Fishtec]

If you have the money, get a Mac! I liked my original Novatac a lot better! I got the high CRI, it's a bit green with the Nichia, it is like a drunk sailor tail standing, and because of the switch protruding, it's dead most times I fish it out of my pocket!
The beam is second to none, the UI is great, but Henry really didn't but his usual thoughtfulness into the tail cap on these. It's really disappointing for that on such a quality light!
