Hi basementcat,

Mini's seem to be pretty much water proof. My mini went for a swim in my pool, the deep end! My bad, as I was cleaning out the skimmer and had put the mini on the edge of the pool and subsequently knocked it in. <sigh> That was earlier in the year when it was too cold for me to dive in and get it, so I used the pool broom to push it to the shallow end where I could snag it with the pool net. After I got it out of the pool, I removed the atty, juice bottle, and battery and ran hot water through everything. Then I doused it good with alcohol and let it dry for a bit. It vaped fine :)

So wait before I go off and do something silly it's safe to soak these things in water or should be really careful and try to only get water through the little tube?

Nice!! I like that they're indestructible little buggers!

Very happy to be here and have the best mod I've ever owned. On another note just read up about the switch sparking with a bad atty and unfortunately my wife dropped mine today. Couldn't figure out why batteries weren't lasting then looked inside to see the evil sparks. Ugh shorted atty on to the next one and this time she can keep her hands off and use her SD mod like a good girl! What am I thinking? Lol she'll do whatever she wants as usual and I'll like it or else! Heh j/k my wife's an amazing person. She must be anyway to deal with me!

You might just need a dab of noalox on the firing pin. If you don't have any, PM me your address and I'll mail some to you. I bought a 4 oz bottle, which is a 10,000 year supply. :)
