I had a small victory saving a Pico from certain death. We had a wicked Nor'Easter blow through here earlier in the week. Heavy rain, very high winds, but at least is was above freezing so we didn't get a blizzard. I had to run some errands and got home soaked like a drowned rat.
Pulled my Pico out and the outside was a bit wet (yes, water did get into my pocket, probably from trying to warm up my cold wet hands in there). Started to wipe it down and saw some water coming out of the bottom vent holes.
Popped the battery out, which seemed dry, shook out the mod and tucked it away to dry. Replaced the battery after 3 days and all's well in Picoland.
The lesson, if your mod gets wet, don't hit the fire button to see if it still works, because if you do it will likely crap out with the current flow. Leave it to dry (those silica packs come in handy to hlep speed things up if you put it all in a baggie) and there's a chance you'll be OK.

I'll post just for laughs, the references are very dated, but the spirit lives on.....https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blog-entry/how-not-to-start-your-vaping-day.1432/unread
Monday will be 2 months smoke-free for me!
And I agree that the fact that we've all survived another week is a victory as well!

my victory??... umm staying alive for 59 yrs
For BK, that is huge! You should hear some of his stories about what he has done to himself. He is lucky to be alive!
Same can be said for almost anything with a circuit board, problem is people that don't know almost always fire stuff up to see if it still works >.<
I live on a lake, inlaws own a marina up the street, people are always dropping stuff in the water.... Always tell them the same thing... Pull the battery... Dry it as best as you can... Leave it in the sun for a week before trying to turn it on...
Congrats!!
You have a lot to look forward to...your sense of smell and taste will improve with time, no more smoker's cough, etc.....
We all started with one day, one week, one month, many months, and so forth...the time adds up fast.
My next small victory was finally getting the silver nonresistance wires twisted to the ends of my little piece of 32g kanthal to create a lumpy little coil for my aforementioned Odysseus.
I endured another half tank on my already spent nauti coil.
It's amazing how quick time flies. Coming up on 5 years. Every day without an analog is a small victory.
5 years? That's a huge victory! Congrats!
