DSE801 Light Turning On All By Itself

[Jawsome]

I've had this problem pretty steadily with the DSE801. When the cig is just laying on a table in front of me I will see the indicator light turn on...then off....then on...then off. Etc.

This is a problem because it kills the bat! I know this can happen as a result of liquid getting into the bat...and that's a problem I have dealt with in the past successfully by snapping the bat down (like you may a thermometer) or also gently blowing into the indicator light end.

But lately it seems the indicator light is coming on without ANY liquid stuck in the bat, and the only way I have been able to deal with this is to unscrew the bat.

Can someone help me with this?

If it's an auto, it could be due to sound. Wind will set off some auto batts as well. It could possible be a defective batt.

It's not an auto
This happens inside absent from wind
This happens with both bats, not just one.

How old is the batt? Is it time 4 a new one? Sounds like a short.

8 months old maybe. Certainly less than a year. Again there's 2 batteries I'm using.

Whoa! 8mos, paid for itself & then some don'tcha think? I've noticed diminished/funky performance from most of my batts that are older than 6mos.

IMO I'd just get a replacement... or 2.

If you did get liquid in it, what you did to remedy the problem probably didn't get rid off all the liquid. You might want to order more if you don't already have extra.

I've been thinking about getting an Auto - anyone have advice as to a good place to buy from?

I've heard/read that the Auto Bats eliminate the problem of liquid getting into them. Is this true

It's the opposite... auto bats have a hole in them for auto switch activation... may kill the bat if juice gets in them. Manual bats are sealed.
