Will it float?

[Spac]

1000 mah battery, carto, tank, cone and Ming drip tip......... No.
figured it would have happened sooner, but it finally happened yesterday. Off the dock it went. Luckally dove it and saved all but the battery and carto. . Don't think a soaked carto works very well, nor a soaked battery. Anyone else have a will it float story to tell?

A new product to be marketed. floaties for your ecig!

Thought about that. . They have those key rings for your boat keys ( the ones that inflate when they hit the water). Clip that on to the ego battery with a lanyard ring and off you go.... Excuse me while I hit up the marina this morning...

I have that fear every time I go fly fishing, that I will return to shore and my PV won't be in my vest! I'm seriously thinking of investing in a small OtterBox which will tuck into my vest which I can keep my PV in while I'm stalking my elusive finned prey!

 

[CDalio]

Or a "can koozy" type of floating device that slides over the battery!!

I keep mine in a ziploc when out boating just in case.. LOL

If you're really paranoid about your PV, they sell plastic beach type bags to put your phones and electronics in. Search Amazon for Aloksak Bags or Dry Bags and you'll find them in a variety of styles and prices.

Throw something that floats in the bag or attach a floaty key ring to it and your biggest worry will be catching up to it if your drop it in the water!

I use a cheap and light weight SD key ring battery with a carto when i go out fishing and just have it on a string around my neck. No worries

cheers!

Yeah I lost one in the toilet.

I rinsed it off and dried it out and it still worked!

Hopefully it was alone in the bowl If not I would probably have to think about!

 

[Cobber]

Yeah all alone. It was in my change pocket on my jeans. Unzip plunk. Damn it!

Lanyard works if you have a shirt on. . Otherwise you end up with a really weird tan line around the neck. Been there done that. .

What about dipping the battery in liquid latex? That way the only loss would be the carto? Might work?

It happened to me once; on a plane... But with a drip tip... I lost it in the toilet. And furthermore it was my favourite by then and the only one I had on me...

Tough decision... I ended up "tailpiping" the rest of the flight, and unfortunately the only atties on me were 510s which are not tailpipe-friendly at all...

=)

I dropped mine in my cat's water bowl once. Threw away the Boge Carto and let the Ego battery dry out for a while. Still vapes fine.

I've taken my one of my VV boxmods tubin' in the Smokey Mountains a couple times in a sealable, waterproof box. When the water's smooth for a few, pop it open and puff. No waterfall catastrophes yet!

 

[DemonCleaner]

they all float down here, and you'll float TOO!

I had this happen to one of my favourite pens. Dropped out of my shirt pocket when I reached out to flush.
Yeah, I went fishing for it.
Two things happened as a result of that.
1) That vintage Parker Duofold was not my favourite pen anymore, for some reason.
2) I decided that I needed more fibre in my diet.

There's a chance the battery might work as people said, if you haven't chucked it. You could give it a 99%+ rubbing alcohol rinse and put it in rice for days to dry it out and hope for the best. People wash cartos too, so if it's worth the effort to you - it'll be fine if you clean and dry it out.

So far I haven't dropped any PV in water, they haven't fallen out of my pocket on cement so far either. That always happens with every phone I own, so the cement drop and some scuffs is inevitable.

 

[Spac]

Still have the battery. May give the isopropyl a try when I get home. None out here with me though... . Guess beer won't work.

At least it isnt a "will it flush story"...diving in for that one would be out of the question
