I just did the same thing this morning, there's this little box I throw them in when I'm in the kitchen..well, long story short, a glass of water was right beside the box. Must of been 10 minutes before I realized I had missed the box and my pv was sitting in 4 inches of water. I shook it out and now have it 'drying' in a bag of rice....I give it a few days, hopefully it works! !!!
Dropped an eGo twist and the connector popped off. Managed to some how break one of the connections when I was putting it back together. Soldered it though and it works fine again.
Left my SDK & an A7 at a buddies house stuck in a pretty nasty chair under the cushion. Washed that trip tip and rba pretty thoroughly haha.
My Vari has hit the floor a few times, all but one was on carpet and the worst being onto wood. Nothing happened to it though.
All in all I've done pretty well and I'm extremely rough on things (I've gone through 4 of the Casio Gz'one phones).

I've already dropped my ego twist with a clearo on it multiple times (and I've only vaped for a little over a week) and thankfully it hasn't shattered or broke yet. It bent the clearo a bit but it still vapes like a champ!
i know what u feel bro, mine fall down when i was riding my fixed gear. thank god my SS telescope is still in tact.
I have a bad habit of leaving my Provape on my lap while I'm sitting on the couch. Well I forget it's there and stand up and multiple times it has hit the floor. Never hurt it though.
Busted the tip off my 2 day old brand new Ego - T. Just on the clearomizer, however it was a pretty sad moment for being so new lol
My story isn't about what happened to my eGo, but more accurately what I thought was happening to it. I'd only had it maybe week and was laying in bed reading the forums here and occasionally clicking vendor links to see if I'd paid to much for it (I'm a newb and trusted my juice store when they said I'd love it so it was an impulse buy, a good one I'll add). Well, it was kind of late and I was pretty tired and all of a sudden my eGo starts this sound like a small electric motor powering up at way to high of a speed and I'm looking around wondering if I should throw it away from me before it explodes or jump out of bed and run from the room. Somewhere in my panic mode my hand brushed against the mousepad on my laptop and I noticed that the page I was vewing had been scrolled down. On the screen was an embedded video ad that automatically started when their webpage opened in my browser. It was for one of the products the vendor was selling and the video started out with that high pitched whining sound that I mistook for my eGo powering up and and getting ready to blow. Looking back at it now I realize it was really pretty silly since it's just a battery with a tank and a few other very minor parts and has no motor of any kind to blow up from revving to high, but hey I'm a newb and I was real tired. Live and learn.
Pick from these:
1) 510 battery kept rolling off desk, so grabbed one of the 'pencil cups' that my kid gave me for Father's day, and kept it standing in there. One time I grabbed for the 510, and it felt warm and wet, and didn't last much longer. Now keep cup on opposite side of desk from coffee cup.
2) While driving, needed hands on wheel, so set PV on seat between legs. When I arrived at destination, and got out of truck, heard something hit ground and rolling down the hill. Glad it was full moon that night.
3) Out shopping, eGo in shirt pocket, with a mini-did clone on it (top heavy). Bent down to reach item on lower shelf, and eGo took a dive for the floor, and separated battery connection (with mini-did still attached) just enough to activate button/electronics. Quickly forced it back together (and it still working fine). Now own several lanyards, as I would prefer not to flush away $35 any time soon.
4) second 510 battery of my original starter kit failed in the 'on' position, while setting on desk. Wondered what the sizzling sound was--attached carto was quite hot, but I un-screwed it enough to stop the sizzling. Battery light stayed on, battery got very warm, and both are now in that great vapor lounge in the sky.

I find myself knocking my Vamo over all the time on my glass comp table...I guess one day it will break eh?
Edit: Vamo(s) - happens with both my full and mini.

I was out riding my Polaris RZR and my LavaTube fell out of my pocket. I looked for it for several days, but no luck. It is still out there somewhere under the snow. It's replacement LT V1.5t died when I had it in my shirt pocket and leaned over to hook a leash on my dog hit the vinyl floor and never worked again.
I was just relaxing with a new book on my iPod, and soaking in a hot bubble bath after a long freezing cold day, when my Provari with Lil Mama Tank freshly filled with my favorite Rice Crisipity... slipped out of my hand and SPLASH....
It survived
. As for me - I almost had a heart attack. More because of the ejuice; since it cost the earth to send here via a forwarding company. Afterwards I worried about the Provari and glass tank, but all was fine and within minutes I was vaping again. I never learn!
