But it sure made for a wonderfully fun read!!! :D

I still wonder at his choice of vessel to test it in.

I'm just saying, if I was going to test a mod against water and planned to use it afterwards, I don't think I'd have purposely dunked it in the toilet, much less taken pictures of it in the toilet. Or posted the photos for everyone to see how dirty my toilet bowl was.

    It wouldn't be anymore difficult to waterproof a mod than it is to waterproof a radio or a camera. BUT, then It wouldn't be vented. It's impossible to waterproof an atomizer, so the PV wouldn't work anyway.

    This is what I use when out in the wild:

    A couple of years back it fell out of my duck blind, and spent a week in the mud at the bottom of Ogden bay. (my dog found it) I rinsed it off, put a new battery in it, and a new atomizer, and vaped away.
    Been vaping away on it this morning too.

    So don't worry about being waterproof, worry about being able to fix it if it does get wet.

    Like I said, it was WONDERFULLY fun.

    I'm laughing now just thinking back on exactly what you pointed out.

    I might have to go find it again, in fact. Sometimes I just love ECF.

    Thanks, UW!

    There are actually tears coming out of my eyes right now, from laughter. I don't think I actually read THIS one all the way through previously, just the earlier pages. And if I did, I must have skimmed.

    He did another, with his Provari, that was also a fair amount of fun. MARVELOUS STUFF!!!!

    You're quite welcome.

    I actually meant to add it to my post last night, but I must have seen something shiny and forgotten all about it.

    I didn't see the ProVari one, now I have some reading to do.

    Edit
    Found it-

    These mods are not water proof.

    A member here bought one and dunked it and it died, horribly.

    Thank you for letting me know that. Looks like I won't be telling people to check that one out any more.

    Sorry to the OP for posting something I hadn't totally checked into.

    I highly doubt anyone holds you responsible, but it's cool that you posted it. After all, it IS how they're marketing it (in case anyone didn't see the car-wash video).

    Not your fault, the makers of that mod have been claiming that it is waterproof when it isn't.
