Try putting it in a bag of un-cooked rice. Someone here did that on a Darwin spill, I think. Remembering that advice, a few weeks ago, my cellphone took a bath into a brand-new, freshly delivered tall glass of tea vodka and water. Completely submerged, with it powered on. Don't ask.... I know that I am not faster than electricity, but I had it out of there, the back off, and the battery and cards pulled in about .001 seconds. I later bathed it well with an electrical contact cleaner I know is safe for plastic, gave it liberal doses of 91% iso alcohol, and gave it the hair dryer treatment. I put it in a bag of rice, and zip-locked it.
The next day, I put battery in, it powered up. The screen looked like an aquarium, no keys worked. Put it back in the rice.
The next day, I put battery in, it powered up, and got signal. The screen looked like an aquarium, no keys worked. Put it back in the rice.
And so forth. Another few days, more and more things started working, it spent 5 days in the rice. Now it seems to work fine, and it is really, really clean.
I don't recommend dunking your Darwin in anything, since you can't remove the battery, but perhaps try some rice.
Rice is nice.

My Darwin finally came back to me! I'm so excited
Oh boy! that should mean that a big ole package of Darwins should be on there way to Drew very soon, at least I hope.
Man I truly hope so. I dont know how much longer I can wait. I wish there was a new ETA on these things.
This is not Darwin-related, but help me out with my dilemma, gentle Darwinians. My workplace is having a no smoking seminar, and I wonder if I should sign up to promote vaping. Of course it doesn't take expensive devices to quit smoking, but if you bought a high-end device, you are serious about not smoking.
Please visit my thread here, and comment/advise me.

I think its a great idea. I try to promote it in my job as an alternative to smoking(Nursing- not everyone but to people I think would be interested.). Its no different then Nicorette promoting the gum/patch or Chantix promoting their product. Of course I would take the idea to the committee head first for the OK and allow you to plan/prepare your lecture.

Thx, KD. I already promote vaping on a personal level to smokers, I know all of them. I have a few converts. My dilemma is whether I should try to push the envelope on policy at my workplace. It could make it better for vapers, or ruin it. I commented in the main thread about it, I found a local number for this smoking cessation group, I will call them and get a feel for how they feel about vaping, before tying it to me and my company.
Hello,
Does anyone know how to get on the notification list to receive an email when the Darwins are available once more? I am unsure how to do so, and have wanted one of these devices for at least 6 months... just never had the money set aside to pay for it until now!
Thanks in Advance!

Just send e-mail to dgliem00@gmail.com and ask to be put on the notification list for a Darwin...
Has anyone else heard anything further about availability..... I know it was ETA of two weeks for a few weeks now.
Any one else have some insider information?
