I am well aware of the issue with the KSD VV eGo batteries going into a protective shutdown by switching to 3.2 (red) immediately after removing them from the charger....it's not a big problem and it goes away after a few vapes.

However, I'm noticing something similar, yet different in a different situation.

I am using a 1.7 ohm smoktech carto at 4.2V (blue). I know this is probably a little high, but I'm using it with Boba's Bounty and the extra heat definitely improves its performance.

What happens is, when I get a good vape going and the carto feels quite warm in my hand, sometimes the light will flash blue a few times and, if I stop pressing the button, it will continue firing while the blue light is flashing....even though I've let go of the button. It usually flashes and keeps firing like this for about 2 seconds after I've let go. Afterwards, it is still on 4.2V (blue) and hasn't gone to 3.2 (red) like the other issue.

It seems to happen only when I'm taking a particularly long draw and/or when the carto is quite hot......


It also only started happening on a brand new KSD.....it hasn't happened when using the KSD I've been vaping with for 6 weeks now.....though, I don't think I've used a 1.7ohm carto on that one at 4.2V yet...(which led me to suspect the high wattage as the culprit)

Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Should I not be vaping the 1.7ohm carto at 4.2V on this battery?:blush:
