Switch sticking - E-Cigarette Forum

Ok, I have a DSE901 and have been having a little issue on the switch seeming to stick. Sometimes when i'm vaping i bring the PV away from my mouth and its still going until it hits the cutoff. Is this a common problem? does it mean something is wrong? I don't have another atty to test. It didn't seem to do this at first. Is this just one of the reason to use a manual switch?

yes, sooner or later most of the autobatts get fragments of liquid throgh the airhole.
this makes it sluggish at first, remaining longer in the on position, requiring harder draw to activate.
at last it will do nothing and stuck, either on or off.

Ok, so it is the battery, not the atomizer correct? this must be the result of dripping or overfilling a cart. And a Manual battery will solve this problem? Or is it still an issue with a manual battery?

Liquid that seeps into the hole in the center connector of the battery can render the device usesless. Unforturnatly, gravity does suck.

A manual battery should have no hole in the center conductor, because there is no automatic switch inside. It is basically just a battery. Any manual device will come with a button the user pushes to heat the atomizer. Manual systems are recommended to those that want to drip.

A manual battery will solve the sticking problem, but you have to be careful when you drip. After all, you can flood a manual battery too. The manual switch will give the control to you.

Second. Obviously, you're not going to want to throw away a good auto battery. Try blowing it out with a can of air. Sometimes I use a small shot of contact cleaner, but the contact cleaner must be plastic friendly.
