What happens during the cleaning cycle?

[Confetti]

Well, I have a battery that will not work with all my atomizers. It works with some and not others. I have no idea what's up with that, but if they get together, I have to switch them around and they work fine with a different atomizer. It's weird, but that's what happened to me, the way you describe it, it seems like it should work, but for no good reason, it doesn't. Do you have a couple of atomizers you could try with the same battery to see if it helps?

After a certain number of puffs the light will start flashing and the circuit in the battery will turn the atomizer on full power to burn off anything that may be stuck to the coil. It only last 5 seconds or so. You can hear it sizzling too. This may promote early atomizer failure. When I see mine start to do it I unscrew the battery until it ends. I don't know if they all do it.

Do you know how many flashes it is so that I can differentiate between that and dead battery flashes? I'm getting I think 11 flashes when I tray to use my 901...

I have a 901 that I got from e-smokeytreats. I've had it about a week now, and am having problems w/ both cartridges. My e-cig continually tries to go into cleaning mode. Well, I am assuming that (I'm getting 16 orange led blinks) If anyone knows what that means, please share.

I've followed the "tips & tricks" on the site and cleaned and boiled the atomizers. Primed them and let them sit for 10 mins.

Still, they have that burnt taste to them and are drawing poorly.

Any suggestions?

I don't smoke my cig dry. I continually top off my carts, so I'm not really sure what the problem is.

I totally love my 510, it got me off analogs and nothing else ever has!
Yes the batteries suck, but bought extras plus a PCC so I've never run out (I go through about 3-4 per day.) I might tried another model soon but for now my 510 works GREAT!

not sure if this was a cleaning cycle but I started hearing a sizzle looked over and seen my ecig (DSE901) had kicked on by itself, i remember reading to unscrew it so i did and waited and waited and then screwed it back on and it still did it.. put on an old atty and it still did it so i unscrewed that one and shook the battery to see if maybe liquid was shorting it and after i did that it didnt seem to do it anymore.. is it possible that liquid actually dripped down and shorted it out so it would kick on by itself.

The reason i am so curious is because I didnt see any lights flashing to indicate a cleaning cycle and it didnt seem like it was timed, since i left the battery off for at least a minute. Now im afraid to leave them screwed together for fear ill end up with a burned out atty (like after coming back from bathroom or waking up)
