I've got a funny mini!

[Rainbowz]

So I bought a mini e-cig from a local smokeshop several weeks ago before finding this forum. Realized my noobie mistake and got a cignot 510 since then. However, I've started using it to drip for high-power flavors so as not to mess up my 510 attys.

So this is the funny thing. I take a drag on it (it's an automatic with a cut-off, supposedly), and when I finish my inhale, the LED remains lit and keeps on making the noise as if I'm sucking on it (but I'm not) for at least another two to three seconds!!!

Is that strange behavior? Is it about to die or what? (Not that it matters at this point, it's just a backup flavor thingy for me now.)

A couple of times its lasted even longer and I start unscrewing the battery thinking it's going to explode or catch on fire, lol.

Sounds like the activation sensor/switch is defective.

The activation switch in an auto battery on those things is a mechanical switch, it moves when you draw and completes the circuit. If you are using it to drip, if you drip too much, some juice can make its way out of the atomizer and through the hold in the battery connector and down into the battery itself. This may be 'gumming up' the switch and causing it to stick, and is more than likely the reason you're seeing it stay 'on' after completing a drag.

2 things to do would be to either lessen the amount of drops you drip into the atomizer at a time to minimize this kind of leak or switch to a manual sealed battery for dripping to eliminate leaking into the battery and better control the time the atomizer is activated.

I would suggest using manual batt if you're going to drip.

Wow, good info. Thanks!
