Water dammage

How sensitive are these to water damage?

Still waiting on my vap. But I keep thinking how many cell phones and other personal electronics I have damaged over the years by having them in the rain, getting my pockets wet while hiking through tall grass, having my daughter pour a can of pepsi on them.

I say a pic of someone using in the shower. Whats the real world skinny on this??

Depends a lot on the model. The atomizer can get wet, many people wash them. The Cartridge can get wet, but you'd need to empty it and refill it, unless you want to vape water... The sensitive part is the battery unit. Some are resistant (especially manuals), some aren't
That said, I've dropped mine in the tub and been able to use it after I let it dry out. If it gets soaked, don't use it until it has a chance to dry.

At the risk of sounding creepy. I smoke in the shower. Mainly because I can sneak one there. But I have been doing it for so long its something I might miss.

There's a video of someone vaping in the shower but I cannot post links until I have 15 posts.

I do believe my next post makes #15 ...

WARNING! TOTALLY UNINFORMED OPINION:

Probably not o.k. to try. At least not worth the $40 I'd be out with that little experiment.

All joking aside (and I love joking) Should I be concerned in the rain/heavy snow/washing the car. I keep referring to my cell phone. It seems they get screwed with the slightest amount of moisture?

maybe if ask like this

Wristwatch very durable in moisture.

Flashlight pretty durable depending on model.

Cell phone not durable in moisture.

What category would you veterans say the E cig is ?

Thanks in advance
Sorry schaedj you post was right under that banner. I missed it.

I'm gonna go with - comparable to a flashlight.

oops -- not a veteran -- take it for what's it's worth though.
