“I was just vaping my Geek Bar Pulse and it fell into water, will it get spoilt?” If that was the question you wanted to ask, voila, we have the perfect answer analyzed in this blog post. Disposable vapes are quite small in size, if it’s your first time using such devices, they could easily slip and fall from your palms – and maybe, fall into water.

Notwithstanding, some vapers may intentionally dip their Geek Bar Pulse vape pens into water in a bid to cool it down, or for other reasons. The truth is, disposable vapes shouldn’t be intentionally put into water, and you should be careful while vaping so it doesn’t slip from your palm and fall into a water body.

The simple reason why you shouldn’t let your Geek Bar Pulse, or any disposable vape at all, fall into water is because they typically have Li-Po battery, which is hyper-reactive when in contact with water – the result of this reaction could be a fire outbreak. Now, that’s not all, there are other reasons why dropping a vape pen into water is not advisable.

What Should I Do if My Geek Bar Pulse Fell Into Water?

When your vape pen falls into water, the battery is the most affected, followed by the coils (which could get wet), and the e-liquid tank. The submersion of vapes inside water can cause water to mix with the e-juice, which could alter the taste, and equally form unwanted by-products as a result of the water mixing with the chemical ingredients and chemical preservatives used in making the e-liquid tank.

Also, water penetration into your vape can cause blockages and reduce saturation levels of the coils, while leading to dry hits. The most dangerous part of this scenario is that water evaporates faster than oil, so, if water gets too much into the vape when the wick heats up, the water evaporates, causing more steam (vapor); you may think you’re making more smokes, but no, when the steams get too high, it could burn you when you inhale!

Now, with all this said, the best thing to do when your Geek Bar Pulse falls into water is to take it out and airdry it; don’t use a hand dryer, it could heat up the wick severely and cause a fire outbreak. Of course, you can use your hand towel to wipe the water off if it is just some splashes on the body.

If the vape is submerged in water, it is best to dismantle it and dry it in the open (not under the hot sun). Also, you may need to replace the drenched wick and drain the e-juice if it got mixed with water, too (refill another e-juice).

Tip! Before refilling the e-juice tank, use a non-fiber cloth to wipe it dry after draining the compromised liquid. This is to ensure that there are no water pebbles left inside the tank before refilling a new e-juice.

Can a Geek Bar Pulse Still Be Used If It Is Dropped Into Water?

If you were able to salvage it after it fell into water, then you can continue using it. But how do you know that you salvaged it? Good point!

You know you salvaged your Geek Bar Pulse vape after you have had it disassembled and dried up properly, then you reassemble it and vape; if the vape comes out with good taste and the wick doesn’t seem to heat up more than normal, then you salvaged the vape; otherwise, it’s time to toss and replace it.

Can I Touch It When It Is Sizzling With The Red Light Going On And Off?

Isn’t it an obvious NO? When the vape is scorching hot, touching it can cause a burn on your palms – you don’t want that, definitely. So, it’s best to let the vape cool off before touching it – and when you do, you got to be careful so it doesn’t heat up so much, again, and burn your palm. The reason for the hotness could be the battery – maybe it’s faulty and needs to be replaced.

If a Geek Bar Pulse is Dropped Into Water, Will Water Enter the E-liquid?

Well, it all depends on how long the vape was submerged in water; if got into water and you pulled it out almost immediately, then it may just require a simple hand drying using a non-fiber cloth. But, if the vape was inside water for some time, even if it’s 5 to 10 minutes, chances are that water must have entered the e-liquid reservoir tank.

Disposable vapes are somewhat porous, so it’s quite easy for water to penetrate inside. If you notice that water got into your e-liquid tank, the best is to disassemble the vape and air dry the vape, then reassemble the vape and try vaping – if you notice that your vape juice tastes totally different, there’s still water in the tank, you should consider tossing it.

Will My Geek Bar Pulse Explode if I Leave it in Water?

Disposable vapes come with rechargeable batteries that are built into the device. Most of these devices come with LiPo batteries, and this battery type is highly inflammable when left in water. So, that said, yes, your Geek Bar Pulse will explode if you leave it in water.

A lot of people think that leaving their vape pen in water would help to cool it down, but the truth is that doing so will only expose the vape pen to more damage. Putting the vape pen in water would heat up the battery – and the chemicals used in preserving the juice, which can result in a fire outbreak.

How to Properly Throw Away A Disposable Vape That Has Fallen Into Water?

The best way to dispose of your vape after it falls into water is to put it in a metal pan, put it outside, and cover it with sand. Alternatively, you can disassemble the vape and keep or dispose of the parts separately. You may also reach out to the manufacturer and ask them how best to dispose of the vape – but, since these vapes are not recyclable and highly inflammable, it’s not advisable to leave them in your regular waste bin, especially after coming in contact with water.

Conclusion

A wet vape poses many health risks; from minor ones like heating up quickly to very dangerous scenarios like fire outbreaks or leaving burns on your palm. The best way to dry a wet vape isn’t to leave it under the sun, instead, air dry it or use a towel to wipe it dry, then keep it in a well-ventilated space.
