How to save a wet dispo vape

this is an urgent matter, I’m not tryna go through cold turkey withdrawals on vacation and I can’t get a new one. Im from Alberta so the legal age is 18. I’m currently on vacation with my family in Universal Studios in the USA (I’m 20). While walking through part of the park, I got a bucket of water dumped on me from a spray park and my disposable oxbar was in my pocket. It looked fine and my shorts had absorbed most of the water and I dried it off immediately. Seemed like it didn’t get that wet. I don’t think it got wet at all. I was even able to use it about 20 mins after it happened. However, my shorts were still kind of damp the rest of the day and I did keep it in my pocket thinking it was no big deal. About an hour after it happened when I went to hit it the device stopped firing. It’s not sizzling or cracking or popping. If I press the button, the voltage will show up. I haven’t used it for the rest of the day and I’ve been trying to keep it dry. I took it apart in our hotel room and the battery appears to be fine in the inside. Appears to be dry. Haven’t plugged it in at all either. I’m leaving it open On a paper towel for the rest of the night to see if it’ll solve itself in the morning. Is there anything else I can do from here that might save it or am I cooked?

Update: after about a day of leaving it open and not touching or using it, it works just fine :)
