Howdy all,
Long time, no talk, which I suppose would be a good thing as it means the e-cig hasn't broken down too much. If this topic has already been discussed, I apologize for the multiple post, as I tried searching the forums and didn't find much except for "batteries on their last legs".
Here's my issue; have a fairly new (manual) battery, just purchased it a month or two ago, and it's been working fine. However, about 2-3 days ago, it decided it wanted to get stuck in an "on" position. I've had batteries want to stick on a little bit in the past, you jiggle the button a couple time or unscrew and rescrew and it stops. (For anybody that's ever found their e-cig having an atomizer that feels like it just got delivered from the bowels of hell, it's just smoking hot, that's why!)
What's odd, it's got a blue light at the end, that doesn't seem to light up at all anymore, and yet, when I screw the battery onto the atomizer, you can instantly hear it bubbling and churning (as if pressing the button) and the atomizer gets hot in no time. It seems to hold a charge, I guess I could just keep unscrewing it and rescrewing it, which would be a major pain in the keester to be perfectly honest. I guess my question would be, has this ever happened to anybody else, and is there any way to "unstick" it? I'm guessing some e-juice may have gotten inside under the switch/button, unfortunately it looks like a completely sealed battery that I wouldn't be able to get inside of.
PS/Edit: Oh yeah, I also tried doing the whole "scrape junk out of the screw connector and swab it out"... to still have it do the same. :-/
