Battery wont turn off :( please help

[Scootaloo]

I had my PV happily sitting on the desk, then suddenly out of no where, it’s started flashing it’s self on without me doing anything and now I can’t turn it off because the button does nothing when I press it.

I tried cleaning it with some tissues to see if any leaks had happened but that didn’t do anything.

It’s an X6 battery

I am not familiar with the X6 but if this is the sort of battery kinda like an Ego where the battery itself is not removable. Take it outside and put it on something that can't catch fire. If that is not an option put it an a pyrex dish on the floor away from anything flammable.

Then just let it do its thing. It will either run down the battery and stop firing or there could be a problem. When it is done recycle it and get a new one.

A battery having this sort of problem you do not want to use again.

Yea that happened to me with an auto battery. I took off the atomizer so it had nothing to fire and put it in my bbq outside for a few days just in case it decided to explode.

Thanks for the tips

Think I'll get a replacment on Monday, and I have a back up battery to keep me going to it's not all bad

So just to update:

I went to the shop, explained the situation and the gentleman was very nice about it and he gave me a replacement X6 battery and swapped it and didn’t charge me for it which I thought was really kind.

I have my suspicions that the reason the battery broke was because of leakage, so I’ve got a new personal rule of keeping the tank and battery separate when not in use, that is of course unless it’s my room when it stays in the vape tray and not bouncing around in my coat pocket where it’s more prone to leaks.

Anyway glad to say problem has been solved

e-liquid is about as conductive as plastic, rather than leaking causing problems its much more likely that its just a defective unit out of the factory.

Juice has leaked in through the connection. Have had 2 here and loved them. After the 1st did what happened to you, I put a new oring under the center post of the second. Was already too late, but it did manage to let it last for another 2 months!
