Certainly looks like a gummed up switch to me. There is no way to fix it without taking it apart. Another thing I noticed is you didn't get any vapor when the light was on solid. You should have had something there. I'd make sure the contacts between battery and atomizer are clean and make sure they are connecting with each other. There was a case a couple days ago where a passthrough was not working but the battery was. Turned out the battery pushed the contact of the atomizer in too much and the contact on the passthrough was not connecting with it. I had him pull the contact in the atomizer out a tad with some needle nose plyers and it came to life. Good Luck. Order a new battery from somewhere.

get some compressed air...take the straw end and get it close to the battery hole on the atomizer end and give it a few quick shots of air...maybe that will help free up the switch
My ******** friend threw away my compressed air (half full) not even a week ago! Ugh......the battery is back to it's old ways of not working at all, it was charged all night and I was puffing away by tapping the battery and in return swinging the pressure switch, needless to say it's not working again, it's in the charger right now.
Compressed air would reset the pressure switch? You seem apprehensive....

Nah, the atomizer works fine it was just dry. However, good to know. Is there a trick that I should use or just pull really hard to bring the atomizer out more?

If your sure the atomizer is working then don't do it. But if you were to do that you would pull very gently so you don't pull any wires loose. It probably only need to come out 1/32" or so.

Well, she's a dead one, any video tutorials on how to fix it by taking it apart? Any users I should put in the search box?

Dont know about your prob but seen a cpl things in your vid that could extend your ecigs life.
1. Unscrewing your batt by twisting the mouthpiece and attomizer is a shure way to kill it. Always hold the atomizer tight and unscrew the batt.
2. Didnt have the sound on so could be mistaken. I seen you put on the mouthpiece then drip juice in. Did you not have a cart in? If not I would think dripping this way would lead to more juice dripping down the side and into the batt causing your prob and leaving you with a dry attomizer.

Had the same problem. A little rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip fixed it. Give it a try.

I have read this entire thread
I hope you guys can get your battery issues resolved. vaping is soo cool
, but it can be soo frustrating when the devices don't work.
I got my dse 901 minicig two days ago. Suposed to be a back up for my n-joy. problem
is my atomizer for my n-joy took a dump yesterday, and my 901 batteries have been not
working properly since I got them. They both have been properly charged. they will work
for a few drags or even a few minutes then the just quit. No vapor no indicator light nothing. Every time they stop working I take off the battery an blow into it and take a
couple drags into it and then screw it back on and it will work for a little while, or sometimes just one drag.
The good news is that after continually doing this the batteries are giving me less and
less trouble.
My question is: is this normal for the dse 901 batteries? kind of a breaking them in period?

I was able to lift the contact up with a push pin on one of my batteries just enough to make it work, now I have two revived. Didn't know they could move like that, no wonder we have problems with these things :/
WOOT!
