constantly blinking light and a crackling noise from the battery, I believe. The only times I've seen that I thought the cig was self-destructing and yanked the battery out.

Might let it do it's thing next time

the battery usually flashes more quickly than for the battery change indication...and you should hear a hissing noise as it cleans itself...and it will taste bad for awhile afterwards...but it probably wont happen to yours yet.
anyway,its no big deal,nothing to worry about,its perfectly natural.

does it do any good or does it just shorten the life of the heater coil.. it just heats up the coil excessively to burn any crud off.. i dont think it achieves much.. but then again it might do its hard to tell exactly.. reverse blowing does the same thing..

the orginal none automatic cigar design has a hole in the atomizer side u poke a paper clip in.. it says to "reset to factory specifications".. it also says dont do it too often or for too long.. a reverse blow with no cart in is the best manual way of doing it..

Different brands must work differently... when my e-cigs are cleaning themselves, the batterylight just keeps on burning (for what is it... 5 or 6 seconds, maybe a trifle longer). Indeed with hissing sound along with this happening.

I see it happening quite regularly btw (heavy smoker) - certainly not an exception to see it for me.
As to the bad taste afterward... as soon as I see the autoclean activate, I take out the mouthpiece with cartridge as fast as I can (if cartridge is allready pretty dry, this autocleaning can make a brown spot on the cartridge-wool, so I try to avoid that); and when the burningcycle is done, I always blow into the atomizer... this takes out almost all bad taste/air immediately.

LOL, that sounds unpleasant. I guess it's a good thing though!
