Mods and flooding question

Every mod I know of has sealed 510 connections and will not allow juice in. It can happen that the seal goes bad and will leak, but it doesn't happen often. If juice does get into the mod it can be cleaned.
...probably. I'd guess not always. If you get juice in a mod with electronics in while it's powered up, I'd guess there's a decent chance of killing it.
If it's powered down I'm sure it's fine, if you can be bothered to clean it properly. You can often soak electronics quite thoroughly as long as they aren't powered, and as long as you dry them thoroughly again before use*. Sticking them in an air-tight bag with rice in is often recommended - rice acts as a desiccant.
* not to be taken as advice to try it unless you need to
See i had the mvp2 for a couple days, i had ibtank glass on it, it fell out of my ourse while getting toddler out the carseat, hit concrete, glass tank broke and the mvp2 button was stick pressed in, as soon as i picked it up it flashed a gazillion times and died and has not come back.
So i have horrid luck and i payed $70 for that battery. Need something built like a tank on durability and also have vw

Yes, I think what you need is a tougher mod. Do you want to stay with the box style or would a tube mod be OK too?
Electronics can only short circuit while its activated. If your battery or the mods regulating parts get flooded you can just wash them with water... if you want since most e juices aren't conductive enough to even short circuit chips. If you do wash with water make sure the electronics is dried properly by sealing it in a jar of something like rice (dont forget to dry the rice in microwave first), sometimes little droplets get stuck under chips and stuff like that.
I've never heard that you do, but it can't do any harm. You have to use lots of rice, and leave it in there for a blooming long time though - probably a week.
You can buy silica gel or similar in little bags for not that much cash - that'd be much more effective, and quicker.

The old rice trick. I've used that successfully a couple of times to resurrect wet cellphones. It's worth a try.
Just thinking about it OP, if it fell with a tank on it, there is a chance it pushed down the center pin in your MVP. If you can get a little screw driver in there and gently pry it up a little (gently being the operative word there) you may find you can bring it back to life.

Yeah i tried the center pin. I didnt ven realize how easily juice could ruin a battery. Im thinking since my button was firing it must have shorted. Ive rinsed it with water and am going to throw it in a baggie of rice.
You can also get a mechanical bottom feed mod. You can throw that into a swimming pool or bucket of juice, dry it off and keep on vaping like nothing happened since there are no electronics. Bonus: No waiting for a week while it sits in a bowl of rice.....
High purity rubbing alcohol is another option. It stands more of a chance of removing gunk, and won't harm the electronics. I wouldn't think it will harm o-rings either, unless you leave it soaking...
