Hi. That's odd. I have heard of one or two vapes with "haptic feedback", but I didn't know that was one of them. Are you sure it's a vape?
Is there something else you can use instead? Better safe than sorry.

Buzzing sound, minimal vapor, and vibrating? Definitely not normal and sounds like a major internal defect. I wouldn't use it, and I'd return it to where you purchased it.
SMOK has a notorious reputation of making shoddy vape mods with a high failure rate. From parts breaking easily, to just stop working, up to and including exploding and bursting into a ball of flames. You didn't make a good choice choosing SMOK.

Buzzing & vibrating from a low quality internal battery power device is not good.
It is a sealed unit not user serviceable other than cleaning the 510 connection points.
I'd find a decent replacement asap.

Thank you for providing yet another testimonial of why not to buy Smok. It is not fixable.
Why a bad rap?

In my opinion it's the mod and your atomizer is good.
I would turn off the mod and not use it any more.

Well, I'm asking if the atomizer is still good, can I still use it. About the yes, it's unusable and it's scary to use it.
How many times/threads/explosions will it take for people to learn to buy something else? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.
if by atomizer you mean the tank on top of the battery, then yes.
If you're talking about the battery (stick v8) itself then NO, that's a very bad idea imho. Either bring it back to where you got it for a refund/exchange or buy something else would be a much better idea.
You can use your tank on pretty much anything that has enough power and a 510 connection (Get something not Smok if you can.)
Dispose of the battery in a safe way you are correct it IS dangerous and scary.

I agree with others. You can keep the "atomizer". If you have a local Home Depot they offer free recycling of lipo batteries. It is a great and safe service. I use them for recycling the lipo batteries from my RC cars, drones, and airplanes. Those batteries really take a beating.
Probably just a buggy device, but for whatever it's worth, my YiHi chipset based mod buzzes in temperature control mode. It's using pulse width modulation, and buzz is a commonly reported annoyance. Nothing wrong, just annoying. I couldn't tell if the device you bought supports TC mode, some articles implied with TC capable coils it will do so, but not sure. Just a thought.
OP's model is not even a regulated or variable power mod, let alone have TC. It's basically a mechanical mod with some safety circuitry.
SMOK uses kanthal wire for all of their coils, which do not support Temp Control. There are some coils made by other manufacturers that will work with SMOK tanks that do support TC.

That buzzing sound is the smok self destruct warning buzzer, when you hear it you have 5 mins to set it down in a safe place and run like hell before it goes thermonuclear
Your device, with all likeliness, has failed. Better for you to set it aside and stop using it.
Depending on how old your device is, and where you bought it, you may be able to have it serviced or repaired.
Personally I have had some negative experiences seeking service for Smok devices, but you can try - nonetheless.
Be safe.

If it was me, I'd bite the bullet and toss it. I would get a geekvape aegis mini, aegis solo or aegis legend, depending on your needs.
Watch that you don't get Smokholm syndrome. You're better than that!
Smok is a great way to learn when and how to cut your losses. Honestly. It is a great company and teacher in that regard.
If a vape is disposable it should be labelled as such.
Although I STILL think Smok does color and design REALLY well. They just need to become a company that will trick out or repaint old, beaten up mods. I WISH they would do that.
