It went swimming this morning. My neighbor called and I grabbed the phone the provari did a flip head first into my coffee. The vivi nova mega handled it well. The provari not so much, the screen is fogged up and I'm sure cream and sugar isn't the greatest for it. Sent an email to provape will see what happens. Only had it a month and a half. Oh well. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

oh.....my......lord. i want to cry for you bro. whats ur backup for in the meantime
isopropyl alcohol bath then let dry (I'd repeat the process once or twice due to the sugar),its what Provape will ask you to do before sending it in.
...or fill with iso alc,shake vigorously,repeat a couple times.

Put the whole thing in the alcohol??????? Screen and all???? I grabbed it immediately but it still got inside and the battery was dripping.
I have plenty of back-ups so I'm good there. I just freaked out a bit. It does make you think about whether a cheaper product might be a better option if you're a klutz like me.
I would wait to hear back from ProVape first, just to be on the safe side. If it was just water that would be iso, but with other sugar and stuff...
So sorry this happened to you

Had a uniq lava tube go in a mop bucket at work cleaned and let it dry real good it happen about 4 months ago and is still working to this day and works just fine.
Iso will help evaporate water, but the sugar could be a problem. I guess it depends upon your sweet tooth 
I hope it works for you At least repairs for it aren't that expensive. Just think if it had been any other unit, you would be buying a new one instead of looking at repairs!

Just think if it had been any other unit, you would be buying a new one instead of looking at repairs!LOL, guess I will just chalk this up to another bad day! I filled it with iso and shook real well several times. It's drying now. For anyone -how long should I wait before turning it on and will the 18650 batts be okay if they get wet? The screen was clear after the bath.
Because of the electronics, I would give it a full 24 hours before loading the battery again. Pure ISO evaporates fairly quickly, but there is still a bit of water in that mix.
If this is only after a month and a half guess it's a good thing I bought the extended warranty. I will give it a day and then try it, will let you know how it goes. Thanks to all.
"in the news this evening, a man's house was burned down when something called a provari suddenly burst into flames in his hand, and throwing it across the room where it smashed into a bottle of iso alcohol, he had left on the counter, when asked about the incident later at the hospital the man simply replied, urpp de derpp and had to be restrained..........................
a dessicant is used to help dry out your cell phone if it goes plop in some liquid. uncooked rice is a natural dessicant. im not sure if youd want to pour it into your provari as some grains might get stuck, but then again, it might work well. also, if it were me, i'd chuck the internal battery. using that puppy after it gets wet is a disaster waiting to happen. for the price, just replace the batt. peace of mind is worth $8.95 IMO. you can get it with free shipping here:

Take out the battery and go to Radio shack and buy something called electronic component cleaner. Spray out the inside real good from the battery side and then let it sit for a while to completely dry. I can imagine how much this must suck. I really like my Provari. Hope it all works out. Good idea on asking Provape. Like a friend of mine said they can't say yes if you don't ask. Never hurts.
iso bath is done,no need for anything else.
Tomorrow it will fire right up no problemo.
No worries,I've lurking everywhere on this forum for about a year and you must be the 100th that made his provari take a bath,being while fishing or else
Every time,they called provape and every time,iso bath was the answer and again,every time it fired right up.

And then you realize why buying an expensive mil-spec piece of gear was worth it............

I often take an iso bath myself when I can't get the stank out.
