What do I do if I dropped my voopoo drag in the toilet? I took out the batteries and put it in rice thinking it would work but it didn’t. I just put the batteries back in today and it only shows the word off and my batteries are fully charged. It happened today.

Hi @angie98,
As you know water and electronics and electricity are not a good mix.
The impurities in the water causes corrosion and provides circuit paths for the electricity which were not in the device’s operating design and could damage the components.
Rice does not fix the problems caused by corrosion.
rice is for dinner, not repair
First do not turn on your device and then you need to remove the battery as soon as possible from the device to minimize any further damage.
Then you need to dis-assemble the rest of the device and clean all the affected parts using Isopropyl Alcohol 99%+ (available from electronics parts stores) to remove all traces of corrosion and water. Do not use "rubbing alcohol" as in some cases this is only 70% IPA or less, can contain scents and is not as effective. If you do have to use it, check the label to verify the amount of IPA. The higher the % the better
Here is a link that in general describes the process.
As always with electronics, especially surface mounted PCBs be gentle when handling and especially when brushing away the corrosion. You do not want to remove any components from the board.
Hopefully after you have done all this the device might possibly work correctly again.
Here’s a link to a teardown video of your device which may be of some help.
If this process seems too daunting, take your device to a reputable, professional electronics repair service, experienced in liquid damage repair and ask for a quote for a repair. If you decide to do this, do it sooner than later.

A similar thing happened to my buddy’s smok novo x, instead his crazy girlfriend filled the inside with air freshener oil from a air wick pod. chances are it isn’t repairable, I took a look at the main board that runs the coil, and powers the main screen, I managed to get it up just to run, it never held battery, and it couldn’t read the battery percentage at all. So it was pointless and later on it started leaking, typical smok. If you dropped a voopoo in a toilet, that’s going to be crazy expensive, and someone will overcharge you for a simple replacement when they will claim they’ve "fixed it" and they dispose of the old one. I have had many vapes and still have 2 out of the hundreds I’ve had and used. I have a voopoo drag s, a pod mod with internal batteries and my regular old smok v2 vape pen. Both are amazing, I have mine with me but I am sure to put it far away from anything with water, it kills them. I had a silver vaporesso sky solo plus that broke from a simple drop of water from myself doing dishes. They don’t react well to liquids, yet they take eliquid, it seems ridiculous, I know. Just cut your losses and get another.
