Battery problem - Still works but blinks after vape and doesn't switch off unless...

[keydcuk]

Hi,

I got a fairly new 510 280mAh kit recently that was/is working fine but one of the batteries blink after first vape. Everything vapes ok, enough power, heat etc... but there is a dim blinking lower that the normal blinking sequence. This causes not only the battery dimly blinking but heats the coil enough to keep producing vapour out of the cartomizer.

When I disconnect the cartomizer, this does not stop it. When I press the switch on the manual battery without carto, the battery behaves the same way. The only way I can switch the battery off is by holding the switch for 8 sec and produce the normal blink sequence and then it is off...

I've tried knocking the battery a bit... no joy... sometimes i'm lucky if I can ignore this and keep vaping and on the second or third vape the switch works and switches off like it should normally.

Anybody found solutions to a similar problem? I'm not sure at what point the battery started behaving this way but it could have happened when I was testing different liquids by dropping directly to the atomizer but I wouldn't want to confirm this to distract from solutions that may have not been caused by dropping to the atomizer and thinking it's a liquid causing some sort of short or misconductivity?

Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Dan

I once had a battery that used to blink and did not vape at all. For my case it was due to the over tightened atty. I suppose what you can do if all else fails is rip the connector off and start modding. Silver lining right there.
