I have an Egrip. Long story short I think I got water in the charging port. It's not working. Did I ruin it or might it dry out and work later?
Wondering if I ruined my mod.

I would not try and fire it and throw in some rice for a cpl of days to dry it out. It may dry out and be fine or it may be shot but worth a try.
Got a can of air? Spray it out good and put it aside for a day maybe. I use Contact Cleaner occasionally, it's quick dry.
Try what both of those guys said if the air doesn't work try the rice *it's a desiccant
I've not done it with a mod but I sure have a LOT of cell phones over the years.
(white works best *lol* it's go the hull still..I had to go out and get some since we're doing the healthier brown rice)
good luck!!

I got water in one of mine trying to change flavors by rinsing the tank out with water. I thought I was very careful, but I did not have the coil base installed, and that can apparently let liquid into where it shouldn't be and it died. The eGrip is a great idea, having everything in a small, self contained unit, but it's shortcomings can become quickly apparent when trying to clean it.
Mine did not come back after waiting as long as a week and I ended up tossing it.
The good news, is that I've read of others coming back to life. So I'd wait a bit before throwing in the towel.

Put it in a ziploc bag with the rice, as mentioned above, wait 3 or 4 days. Then blow the rice dust off of it with compressed air.
After it got wet, did you try using and/or charging it?

Another option is pouring some rubbing alcohol into the port. That will help the water evaporate.
You never know. A year ago, i had an iPad, and it decided to go swimming in a bucket of water while it was on.
Was still on 3 seconds later when I fished it out.
Was on as I removed the cover ( not at all waterproof or resistant.) and shut it off
A millisecond before I hit the switch, it went off.
Shook it dry. Towel dried it stuck it in a bag of rice for a week.
Took it to a repair place.
Their verdict : toast
They asked me if I wanted it left open to sell the parts inside not damaged on ebay. I said yes.
A week later, I'm home alone, and I start hearing a voice.
Look around, here it's my ipad which while still opened a crack, was on and trying to connect to the internet.
The only thing ended up wrong was the button with the square on it stopped working in about a month, but no biggie, there is a software workaround in the accessibility settings.
I have typed all of this on said aforementioned iPad.

I am just going to say I am sorry this happened and I so hope these suggestions help. A real good reason to always have backups for anyone new reading this thread. Good luck and let us know how long it takes to start working again. (See what I did? Positive thinking) 
I took it out of the rice this morning and it's working fine, been Vaping it a couple hours. I was going to leave it in longer but just had to check, I missed it!
I've dumped a couple of my Vision Spinners out of the kayak a couple of times. Rice trick worked and they actually lasted a couple of months before finally crapping out.
