Dropped vape in water poses risks to its internal components and battery, potentially diluting the e-liquid and impacting its flavor and performance. To address this issue, several steps can be taken:
- Immediately power off the device.
- Gently shake out any excess water.
- Utilize uncooked rice or silica gel packets to dry the vape for 24-48 hours.
- Before reuse, thoroughly inspect the device for any signs of damage. When uncertain, opting to replace it is safer.
- Avoid charging a wet vape due to safety concerns.
- If uncertain about the vape's condition after exposure to water, replacing the device is advised for safety.
However, if the vape is completely submerged in water, it's highly recommended to replace it entirely, as a fully soaked vape is typically irreparable, presenting associated risks.
