Gurgling battery

[Natty Bo]

Caught one my Super Mini making an odd sound when one particular battery is attached. Towards the end of a draw it makes a faint gurgling sound and the LED (when observed) flickers. I don't drip smoke with my Super Mini. Would I be correct in assuming that the pressure switch in the battery is becoming flooded?

Yup ...

Not necessarily flooded, but you probably did get moisture in it. Let it dry or throw it under a hair dryer for a few minutes to see if that solves the problem.

Sometimes the cut off doesn't kick in early enough so the vapouriser continues to operate after you've stopped sucking, effectively boiling the liquid. It can be a sticky switch or a processor that's not programmed quite right. Mixing gooey liquids and microtechnology is still an Alchemist's nightmare!

Yes--I definitely have a few batteries that intermittently do the 'stuck switch thing'... one of my NPRO batteries in particular tends to stay on after i've puffed, sometimes until the auto-cutoff kicks in. Kind of a nasty habit, IMO. So far, though, I haven't had a part outright fail on me, and I've been vaping for over a month.
