So, I accidentally dropped my vape in water the other day, and I feel so upset. It never happened to me before! Jesus Christ… I quickly pulled it out and searched online for tips on how to save it. I dried it off and let it sit, but I’m worried about what might happen next. If I try to use it again, will it be safe? Has anyone else dealt with a soggy vape? Should I just toss it if it starts acting weird? Is there any water-proof models you’ve been tried from vaporesso?
Feel so sorry for you, here’s my experience, hope it work for you!!
- Shake out as much water as you can. Grab some paper towels and dry off everything you can reach
- DON’T use a hair dryer or microwave (seriously, just don’t!) just let it AIR DRY.
- Let it sit for at least 48 hours in a dry, warm spot. Keep it upright so water can drain out.
After waiting:
Make sure everything’s bone dry— Put it back together— If it works, great! But watch for any weird behavior, if it’s acting strange at all, time to retire it.
Look, I know vapes can be expensive, but if you notice any weird sounds, unusual heating, battery swelling, and strange smells. Just cut your losses and get a new one. Better safe than sorry - a new device is cheaper than a trip to the ER!
Guy you’re so kind, I’ll take your suggestion for a try and always prioritize my safety!
Same here. I just picked up a new vape after mine fell into the water. If the vape starts not turning on properly, giving off a burnt taste, or the battery is acting funky, it would be best to replace it. Water can cause short circuits and other damage. It is not very safe.
yeah that’s what I think
thx for your sharing
