Serious Wetbox problem! *HELP*

[Joyimui]

I was using my wetbox earlier and I left it on the table and went out for lunch. Just got home and saw this:

I got the wetbox like 2 days ago... I donno if it still works but I'm too scared to try anything now

That really sucks. I don't know anything about wetboxes, but it looks like some serious overheating went on there. Was the master on/off switch left on? Was it hot?

where did you get it? perhaps got into the switch and completed the circuit, is the master switch on?

Yes it was on since I was just leaving it on the table. When I got back the carto is not hot anymore so I donno whappened

Geez It looks like it just kinda went off on it's own and overheated. Sorry that happened that sucks. I'd go ahead and get rid of that carto

Got it from Cloudsofvapor... my friend kept telling me to test if it works now but I'm too scared

The box itself I'm sure is fine, but that carto is toast. I would just pop in a fresh battery and a new carto and give her a whirl. I imagine the wire in the carto should have popped once it got too hot, so your battery might be ok. I'd put the battery on a chrager and make sure it's still gtg.

moved to COV forum.

me, i would put another carto on and see it if works. not like its gonna blow up or anything.

otherwise, just contact missy the builder, pm guineahill or email guineahill@hotmail.com. she is good at fixing and returning quickly.

 

[Joyimui]

ok I just emailed missy

apparently the battery got stuck inside too since the stuff inside was melted too =/

Something activated the switch - it was against something or got moved into something. The switch has a light 'throw' - ie. doesn't take much to activate - that's why when you're not vaping you should turn off the on/off switch. I speak from experience - my cartomizer looked exactly like yours. I put it in a car and someone put a towel over it to hide it and the towel activated the switch. I failed to turn off the box. Missy can fix it, btw ;-)

nah it was just on the table near nothing else... unless it can activate by airflow

hopefully missy will get back to me soon

Hi Joyi! Missy will be right to you on this. I am sorry this happened!
If the button was not being pressed with the unit on, it probably was juice in the switch.
Regardless, Missy can and will fix it! Do you need a loaner WetBox?

After about a month and a half of hard wear and tear, my WetBox has started to leak a little, and the past couple of days the switch was flaky (not firing). This morning I doused the switches with isopropyl alcohol, worked them a bit, let it sit for a minute or so, and blew everything out with my air compressor. The switch works fine now.
