    Tam got a reaction from henk in Dropped batt in water   
    We always tell new vapers to get back ups, and back ups of back ups. They may listen... sort of... but don't get enough. Then, we hear about something going wrong with their tank, with the two coils they have, with... whatever. And then we hear them say, "Wow, you guys were on to something when you said to get lots of back ups." The only time we don't hear this is when the new vaper takes us seriously and does what we recommend. Then, we hear, "I'm SO glad I listened to you guys..."  LOL

    And you don't know iet yet, but you're getting an extra rebuildable (We get samples sometimes from vendors and I'll at random toss them in shipping bags on the way out)

    Well I broke down and bought a rebuildable tank. Rip Trippers Pharaoh and some premade coils and cotton. Wish me luck :D

    @Tam I usually get about six weeks to a coil just casually vaping daily, so I do get 3 months out of each coil with very little effort. But like you mentioned, they're pretty inexpensive now. I am going to start making my own coils, being retired and all, it'll make for another nice hobby. [emoji847]

    Back in the day, especially with the Protank single coils, I used to rinse in hot water, soak overnight in vodka, let dry for several days and revape. Like @Earthling789 said, it's great for getting one flavor out of the wicks. Then, we discovered that we can rebuild the Protank coils so now, when I use the old tanks, I just rinse the old coil and toss into a "rebuild someday" pile. With my Triton tanks, I have an RBA coil for them but with coils so cheap, I've just been holding onto the RBA for the someday should I not be able to replenish my supply of ready-made coils.

    I've cleaned drop-in coils using pure-grain alcohol such as Everclear, moonshine, or Vodka over 100 Proof.  The higher and purer the alcohol content the better, though.  Let them soak overnight, repeat as necessary, then air-dry for another overnight period, and they are rejuvenated, but not quite good-as-new.  This is mostly to remove flavor from wicks, but it will do a decent job cleaning the coil of crud.  
    Seriously though, with the coils I use being so cheap (and rebuildable), I don't even bother cleaning them anymore... I just grab another and toss the old one into the "rebuild later" pile.

    First off you're confusing "battery" with "mod". The battery is the round cylindrical thing that goes inside a mod, which, for you is the cuboid mini -- except the battery is non-removable in your case. Just to make sure I've got it right, your entire mod fell into the glass of water. Is this correct? If so, I would remove the battery out of the cuboid mini, open everything up and set out to air dry for several days -- just to be on the safe side. Since this is an electronic device I wouldn't want to try to fire it up until I was absolutely sure everything was dry first.
    And... I should look up the device in question before I go offering advice. The cuboid mini has a built-in 2400 mAh battery so there's nothing to remove other than the tank. I would still recommend you let it sit out to dry for a day or three before trying to fire it up again.
    In case this is your only mod, this would be where I make a strong recommendation that you get a back up. We always recommend having lots of back ups just for these types of situations. Things happen and you don't want to be without a device, a tank, an extra charger, some more coils, extra juice, etc. Get back ups. And back ups of your back ups. You can never have too many when things start to go wrong.

    I'm with @Bebop.  Every drop of flavoring is meticulously counted.  Milliliters of PG, VG and nic base are painstakingly measured in a tireless effort to achieve the ultimate vape.  Except for that whole Zamfir, thing.  I prefer something a little more up-tempo.  Zeppelin, Sabbath, perhaps some Jethro Tull or perhaps if I'm in a reflective mood, some Joe Satriani or Eric Johnson.   Yanni, maybe...but NEVER Zamfir.
    Oh...and the only thing I use a highball glass for is...well...a highball.
    Just wait until you start pairing your juices with your favorite adult beverages, @Walt.  It will open up even more doors, options and ideas than you ever thought possible.

    You can add VG to the juice but it will also dilute the flavor. When I've had some harsh juices I've had great luck in adding some vanilla or a sweet cream to it. Might do that with a high VG juice to help lessen the sting? I'd also try turning the power down a bit. Some juices do well with high power like bakery and coffee flavors while others like it a little cooler like fruits and some candy flavors. Just a thought.

    @Walt  -  I am complete opposite lol
    My mixes are delicately spooned into ancient handmade carafes and lightly paddled by just the dangling toes of cherubs who's feet have been bathed in holy water, and all in a relaxing stone chamber with Zamfir playfully mouthing his pan flute. 
    Ok, I may be exaggerating a little.  Still I like paddling my mixes lightly in a  high ball glass with a butter knife then transfer to a warm bath.  They emerge 10 minutes later fully integrated and once cooled, ready to vape.  
    They seem to be slightly more flavorful after a week but I'm not sure beyond that .....

    Dito per @Tam.  I've been learning about how different flavors react at different wattage.   I'm starting to "tune in" all of my flavors.  Having said that, I got some of that green apple myself and it is some potent stuff.  To me it smells a lot like airplane glue in the bottle, lol.  It's been on the shelf for a week or so now.  I'll try it again today and see if it has calmed down a bit yet.
