901b atomizer "Stays on" without puffing

[freed1978]

Hi,

I just got my DSE901b today, but after plugging in the battery, I noticed that the atomizer turned on automatically without puffing (before I put in the cartridge/mouth piece) and will not turn off (red glow inside). After 10-20seconds the atomizer part will become burning hot. I removed the battery right away.

It seems to be doing so only with one of the battery, the other one works fine. Any idea what may cause that other than a bad battery.

I got it from LitecigUSA, I emailed them to find out also but figured I'd get more opinions. Hopefully if it is a faulty battery, they will send me a new one free of charge.

Thanks

Your Battery pressure switch is getting stuck on--take the battery off the atomizer and suck and blow through the battery hole on the battery. Also bang the battery on a hard surface at both ends. You can also try to clear the pressure switch with a paper clip sticking it up the battery hole and wiggling it around. This can happen sometimes if you are using too much e-liquid and it is dripping out of the atomizer into the battery. Do not top off the cartridge to the point where the e-liquid is pooling--just wet--Happy vaping!!

I've also got a balky 901 battery. I draw on it and it stays on after I stop untl it starts flashing. Then it won't work on the next draw until I tap it on a hard surface first.

It happens sometimes. Nothng is perfect. Ths is why my ScrewDriver is my primary e-cig and I only use the 901 as a backup.

Thank you. Tapping it a bit worked. I didn't drip in it yet, was brand new

I had the same problem with penstyle

This will happen with new batteries that need the pressure switch broken in and used ones that get stuck from residual e-liquid. It also occures on many models--mine being the penstyle--I am glad the problem cleared for you. I thing with the new batteries, it is the shipping in the cold weather thas caused the membrane to tighten up before it gets used as I just got 2 new batterys and they both needed a good bang before the switch functioned properly, but what ever it is that causes it, the remedies here ususal work.--Happy Vaping--Sun

Hi, since i'm still new and can't post a new thread i'll need to hijack this post for what i've found out regarding the batteries.

I had a 3 brand new 901 batts sent to me but out of them only one was working properly. one had an impossible draw (think sucking a straw) and the other had the "blue light always on" syndrome.

After watching Maddog's vid on dismantling the battery i went ahead to dismantle them and here's what i found:

the pressure switch is comprised of a diamond shape plate (Plate) and 2 contacts on a plastic container which acts as a vacuum chamber. QC of the switch isn't too good so what happens is sometimes the Plate slants on activating the switch due to the contacts being not aligned properly. This requires extra force to "sit" the plate. what i did was to bend the Plate so that both tips has the same distance away from the contacts. this way the shaft connected to the Plate travels straight up and down......

Confused? will try and draw it out to clarify things.....

Hi protts,
Did it work?
I have the same trouble with 3 batt's,but I am not eager to open them yet.
Please tell us about your findings!!!

 

[protts]

yup it does work. here's me diagram...



fig a shows what happened to my switch, so sometimes at fig c the switch gets stuck...

what u need to do is try and get the plate like in "ideal"

Ugh...I had it happpen to me. I tried the blow on one end and then the other. Then resorted to the paperclip...now I really screwed it up...tastes like battery juice when I went to try the suck...but mine was months old and it happened with more than just a 901...they just have a lifetime that is so long...

I just thought I would post a link to the video by Madog that Protts was referring to:

Turns out I can't post links yet, so i hope this partial link will work:

Nor can I edit my post, so here's another probably unneeded note:

You just need to copy and paste that link into your browser and it'll work.

I seem to be having the same problem with the Njoy npro, with one of the batteries. It will stay on after I stop puffing, and sometimes it will turn on all on its own as its sitting on the table. My girl has the same one and the atomizer went cold (would not turn on) after only 3 days. The guys at Njoy sent her a new one the day she e mailed them. When I emailed them about my battery problem, they gave me the run around about sending it in first so they could confirm it isnt working correctly. I guess it pays to be a girl. She didnt have to send anything first!!

Same issue here with a pen style brand new. After I emailed Steve @ PS he said to try the paper clip, I can now get a few puffs now before it sticks again and sometimes it sticks to a point where it will not even light up. So this is sticking closed and open on me.

thanks Andy n Sun, for the link.

The method i posted repaired 2 of my 3 batts but it can get quite fiddly as you adjust the amount of gap between the 2 points of contact.

Anyway, i've since converted to a manual push button (pass through style) for use at home and switch to rechargables when i'm out..

My bad B_boy, different scenario here.
