Okay, here’s my story about how I fixed my vape after dropping it in water:
So, picture this: I was chilling by the pool, enjoying a nice, relaxing afternoon. I had my vape in my hand, taking a puff every now and then. Everything was perfect until… I leaned over to grab my drink and, like a scene out of a comedy movie, my vape slipped out of my hand and plopped right into the water.
My heart sank. I stood up so fast, and stared at the vape floating in the water like a sad, electronic duck. First thing, I immediately fished it out. Water was dripping everywhere, and I felt a wave of panic. But then, I remembered some stuff I read online a while back about gadgets and water, so I tried to stay calm.
First, I grabbed some paper towels and patted the vape dry as best as I could. I took out the battery straight away. That’s like the first rule of any “tech-meets-water” situation. Then, I shook the device gently to get any excess water out. It felt like I was doing some kind of weird rain dance, but with a vape.
Drying Process
- I found a sunny spot on the patio. I placed the vape and the battery there, hoping the sun would do its magic.
- Every few hours, I turned the vape around, just to make sure every part of it got some sun. I was like a chef making sure the chicken is evenly cooked.
- I used a fan too. I set it up so it was blowing directly on the vape. My logic was: more airflow equals faster drying.
I left it there for a good 24 hours. The waiting was the hardest part. I was so tempted to check if it was working, but I resisted. I knew that turning it on too early could fry the whole thing.
After a full day of sunbathing and fan treatment, I put the battery back in, held my breath, and pressed the power button. And guess what? It worked! I was so relieved, I almost did a victory dance right there on the patio.
So, yeah, that’s my story. It was a bit of a scare, but it all turned out okay. If you ever drop your vape in water, just remember: stay calm, dry it out thoroughly, and be patient. It might just save your day!
