Hissing.

[jcleaver]

Sort of related to my other thread about my smoking battery; but I have noticed that when I put on a carto, I hear a hiss. Sort of like the cartomizer firing up. Since I am using manual batteries, I don't see how, as it shouldn't be getting any power. Is this normal?

Also, what happens if I don't screw in the cartomizer all the way? I have noticed I have not done that on occasion.

Somebody told me that has happened to them with Bauway cartos. I haven't personally had it happen, just heard it.

Welcome to ECF, by the way. How long have you been vaping?

If you put on a carto and it starts hissing without the switch being pushed the button must be stuck or you have current feedind through it somehow. If you have a meter check the battery.

That is what I am afraid of; although it has always happened and i thought it was just normal. The hissing stops after a couple of seconds and the carto does not get hot at all. Of course, maybe the cut-off is engaging.

I am getting some new batteries next week. I'll have to check to see if it happens with them as well. I do not have a meter any more. Been a while since I had needed one.
