Just be sure it is not instant, and you should use the long grain white rice.....usually found in with the asian foods....you don't want the rice dust or small particles of the rice to get down into the batt;)

You think long grain brown will work? That's all we eat. If not, time to make a trip to the store.

yes we apologize about that...the inventory count for the blanks was off...so a few orders were sold that were out of stock....you will all be notified if that is the case...

Pffft... It happens. Thank you for the apology, but I'm still so floored by the Saturday call that I'm not even focused on not getting the blanks. Besides, I still have 30 blanks left from my last order. I just put this one in because my husband agreed to try e-cigs and I'm going to need extra for him once his juice arrives.

It very well might.....I don't use the long grain except for Uncle Bens:laugh: so I am not sure how dusty it is.....I would assume it is less starchy thus much less rice dust......that and the size of the rice is the issue.....the asian rice is bigger around so it will not get down into the air hole of the auto batts......here is another idea, if the rice is smaller and could fit into the hole.....take a tea bag....empty the tea and rinse off the tea particles.....once it dries (which should be quick with no wet tea in it)....rubber band it around the end of the batt where the threads are....that will keep the rice pieces outta the hole and will still allow the airflow and the moisture to be sucked outta the batt.

You think there is any way to resurrect a volt battery after it's gone through the wash? I'm about to find out. :p

I'd probably put it thread side down on a paper towel in a sunny window for a couple of days. I see everyone's recommending rice, yeah, I've done that with cellphones. But here I think gravity and heat from the sun is your best bet. Good luck with it and keep us posted.

Here's my video review of the Sweet Sampler. Also, take a look at my pretty pink drip tip and listen to my little Volt jingle, lol.

Thanks for another great review SteelJan. Your review on the Volt with the chainsaw test was the deciding factor that made me order my Volt that very day. Very informative review. Love it keep em coming! :p

Well after debating for sometime I placed my first order today and I really hope I am not dissapointed. Thanks Micheala for your kindness and convincing me to order.

Welcome to the Volt family! You wont be disappointed...;)

I went out with some friends for drinks last night and let me tell ya, my Volt was the life of the party! Out of the five people at my table, four of them were smokers and I let them all try it. Before I knew it, I couldn't even vape because every time I would pull it out of my pocket someone would quickly snatch it away! LOL! I brought two flavors with me, Boba's Bounty and Hype, and Hype was definitely the party favorite! At the end of the night I had everyone asking me where to buy the Volt. :p

That would very well work, but not in my house...lol. Between all my cats and dogs, it would NEVER stay in the window:laugh: I'd either be constantly picking it up, or off on a treasure hunt where one of them had taken off with it and hid it:facepalm:

Well... I know the batt is still in semi-working order because when I turn it a certain way the led lights. Right now it's sitting in the rice. I think that and time should do it's magic. Fortunately I have a half dozen more I can use so I will let it sit for a good 48 hours before attempting to charge or use it. I'll update its status at that point.

That is the advantage of having sealed batteries instead of automatics. I've dropped eGo's and 510's (manuals) in the tub before, picked 'em up, wiped off the mouthpiece, and kept on vaping. Yes - that's right - I vape in the tub. Why the heck not? I used to smoke in the bathtub and drop an ash every so often or even drop the whole ashtray. Now that's nasty! :blush:

:lol: Now you do realize that if you submerge even a manual batt in water, it can still get water in it....lmao....I can picture jumpin outta the tub dropping a batt in it....lol....kinda like habit of jumping outta the chair when dropping a ciggie:lol:

Anyway....if a batt is submerged in water, the water can still get in around the button;)

Thanks for that review. I've never tried the Vanilla here or there because I heard pretty much the same thing as you said. I did break down and bought Cherry because sooo many people raved about it. I was watching your face... pretty much said it all :lol: Not cough syrup, maybe Nyquil.
Imagine, didn't you say you were thinking of offering both the old and new Grape? Seems more people like the old? I don't like the new one but wonder if the old one would be better.

I just realized how negative this post is sounding, so to redeem myself: The 555 & RY4 are the best on the planet! Cowboy is a very good analog flavor if that's what you're after. I use it as-is then top it off with flavored juice. Just wish there would be a Mint offered.
