If you have accidentally dropped your disposable vape into water, it can be a frustrating experience. However, before you give up on the device, there are some steps you can take to try and fix it.
1. Stop Using It Immediately
When a vape falls in water, it's important to remove the battery to prevent short-circuiting. Remove the pod from the battery and dry it off with a paper towel.
2. Dry It Out

3. Clean the Pod
While the battery is drying, clean the pod with a dry cloth or paper towel. Ensure to carefully wipe away any visible water droplets. Do not dismantle the pod as this might cause damage.
4. Recharge and Test the Battery

If the device still doesn’t work after following these steps, it may be time to replace it.
In the future, it's best to keep your disposable vape away from water to prevent any damage. If you must use it near water sources, make sure you have a protective case or keep it in a sealed container to avoid any accidents.
In conclusion, while it seems like a dropped disposable vape is destined for the trash, it is possible to recover it. As with any electronic device that has been exposed to water, time and patience are key. Following these steps will help keep your disposable vape in working order.
