Wash, Dry, Vape!

[Othercat]

Last week my husband borrowed my volt and then he forgot to take it out of his pocket before throwing his clothes in the dirty laundry. Imagine my upset when I was transferring the freshly washed clothes to the dryer and I saw my treasured Volt laying there at the bottom of the washer. I didn't know what to do so I sat it on the table where it blinked accusingly for hours on end.
After a while I remembered the time my husband dove in the pool with his cell phone in his pocket. We put it in a bag of rice until it dried out and it worked fine after that. So I put my Volt in some rice and left it for 4 days. When I took it out and charged it, I couldn't believe it when it worked perfectly!
Dang! I love my Volt!

I've instituted an "anything I find in pockets is mine" rule. Now nobody leaves anything in their pockets. LOL

Glad your Volt is working!

DEAR LORD! Is the man alive??? We will send you money for bail!! Letting the wife's vape get washed is justifiable homicide IMHO!!!

Glad it survived the spin cycle that's pretty awesome!

some corrosion might be visible on the asic but that's it, do not expect it to live a full life but sweet water is ok.

I have the same rule Jen. I started that rule after crayons ended up in my dryer. I have amassed a nice collection of money and Nintendo ds video games.

My nieces wondered about me when I bought a DS for myself. I figured since I had all those games, I should probably buy something to play them on. Once in a while I'll let them buy a game back. My mother thought it was mean, but hey, it teaches them to be responsible for their stuff and think about what it would cost to replace.

I had to do that after GUM ended up in my dryer, and on more than one occasion!!

There should be a blog dedicated to this (of course I'd be surprised if there isn't)! It should be a place where folks can submit the story and pictures of the aftermath of washing or drying!
