Cleaning my IPV3

[smacksy]

Hi all
Today I accidentally overfilled my RDA and the juice leaked down the side with the buttons..can juice get into the mod this way? If so what's the best way to clean it? So far it's still firing but it does worry me some...thx

Ok... just to kick you when your down...

NEVER EVER turn on and power up an electronic device when you think there is a possibility that moisture has gotten into it... EVER. Electronics are just fine if they just get wet and no electricity is involved... once there is electricity, the electronics can fail instantly.

Open the device up... and inspect it to see if anything got in or not. If something did... use alcohol to clean it up ( remove the batteries first of course ). Use as high of a percentage alcohol as you can find... most off the shelf types are around 40% but 70% can be had if you look. Once you are satisfied it's cleaned up... let it set for a while to dry, place it in front of a fan to help.

You can also use a bag of dry rice to help draw out any water moisture there may be. Usually I do that for at the least a day and if possible two.
