It never rains but it pours - Zmax

[CaptainChaos]

Driving home this evening, after getting my Mega back & not being too impressed, I put the Protank back on that came with the Zmax.

Halfway home, I thought I'd have a vape, so reached into my pocket to get the Zmax out & the glass part of the tank had come off, spilling the Spider Venom everywhere.

I stopped, took everything I could apart and got home.

Cleared everything off as much as I could & stuck the Mega back on.

No the Zmax is coming up with the message "Short!" every time I try to use it.

FOR ***KS SAKE - is anything going to go right for me at the moment?

yes

[CaptainChaos]

Ok - I took the battery out - that is not damp at all ... looked in the inside to the bit where the battery connects - not damp at all - it all seems to be the bit that you screw the tank onto (on the top outside). Luckily I've got a far eastern wife so there is loads of rice, and now I've got a glass full of rice & buried the Zmax in that (upside down)

This bit is upside down in the rice - that ok?

[ronaldo]

any electrical item that runs off batteries that gets wet including mods mobile phones cameras ect ect ect
if it is put in a glass and covered with dried rice the rice will absorb the moisture and reduce the amount of damage I have repaired many an electrical item this way

yes that is correct it will repair it for sure

[CaptainChaos]

It switched on fine, went through all the menus fine, it was just when I screwed the tank onto it I got the "Short!" message.

Nice of it to tell me, I guess.

The bottom open end of the Zmax is sticking out of the rice, should I just bury everything?

Leave it overnight?

[decoy]

just to add remove batts from anything you get wet as soon as poss
dose not apply in this case thow
could try useing a gottob bud to get any juice off as well

[ronaldo]

fill it with rice it wont do any harm

[CaptainChaos]

use a what decoy ?

[decoy]

cotton bud one of them things for cleaning your ears

I find if I screw an atomiser in too tight I get the "Short" message just finger tight is all that it needs and then mine plays nice.




PS Does it say "short" without a atomiser attached?

[CaptainChaos]

No Des - only when I attached the atomiser - without it, it just went through the menu no problem.

Here is my A&E photo 3 minutes ago lol



I hope it survives
