Sizzling

[echofinder]

Here's an odd one: I have a carto that sizzles, but it continues to do so for maybe a second after I release the firing button. It is not the good sizzle of a well-primed carto, but a quieter less pure sound. Anyone experience this? The carto still works though it is older and will soon be on its way out.

I'm just guessing but it could be juice in the build-up on the coil. They don't go dead cold right after you let of the heat and the more build-up on the coil, the more sizzling may occur.

Also, what PV are you running it on?

SB at 3.7, carto is a 1.7 SC tanker. Have had this happen a couple times before but never thought to make inquiries; I have tried to burn it off with extended firing and with a thorough cleaning by paper clip... it performs fine, like any other used carto (as have the others) but I find the noise very annoying.

Idonno, plug your ears, I guess

It's normal.
The coil is metal so it stays hot for a little while.
