Where do you think you dropped it and what kind of device was it? If it was something like an istick 40w or something of that caliber that it should be fine. I doubt it was cause anything major unless you dropped it in a dry forest atop a pile of dried up leaves.
dropped it on the street somewhere-its just a basic one you can buy at the supermarket and refill. Its quite windy and rainy here so I assume it should be ok?

Just to be sure we understand, no safety risk how? Why do you think there would be a safety risk?
I've just read stories online of e cigs exploding mostly when they are charging though-probably just being paranoid. I just wanted to make sure it would be ok if there is sun etc-I have retraced my steps and can't find it so someone must have picked it up and binned it. All good!

It was an epen by vype so just a cheaper model you can buy in the supermarket. I just want to make sure there is no safety risk-its a little over two miles there to retrace my steps.

If it was a Vype, you have done well to lose it.
Never buy another. Consider NOT using Vype as your commitment to the Vaping community*.

*Vype is a tobacco company. The products are dreadful and extortionately expensive and pathetic.

Haha great thank you! good tip-yeah assuming someone threw it away as I couldn't find it in retracing my steps. It did seem extremely overpriced for what it was.

Yes, sadly Vype, Blu, Vivid and E-Lites are tobacco companies. Between them they are encouraging the government to get heavy on certain types of vaping so they can take over the entire industry.
Blu are the worst. They actually supported the TPD which means that in November, many vaping products will either be illegal or cost a fortune to get the license for.

So, basically Blu and Vype have more or less killed Vaping. That's why nobody should buy their products.
It's very sad.

When i lose my wife in a supermarket i don't retrace my steps; i just assume she'll turn up in time or someone else will look after her.

Same with vape gear and i suppose that's why some people put beauty rings on it. Confusing it for wives.

It's impossible to say how you'll live with the guilt were someone to get hooked on the viciously addictive nicotine contained in a device that requires 50 puffs to extract any from, but if it proves too much then i'm sure counselling is available.

Buy some better gear and write it off to experience :)
