Volt Battery Problem-Lights Itself?

[zel8913]

Hello,
Bought pro starter kit a week back...LOVE the product and haven't smoked a single cigarette since I started using it.
Recently had problem with one of my standard automatic volt batteries. It vapes fine, but on occasion, after I take a hit, the battery will activate by itself continuously (as if I was taking small consecutive hits). The only way to stop this is to unscrew my CE3. If I let it go, the battery/carto gets really hot and I fear this will cause damage or worse, explode! When I screw it back on it is fine, but a few hits later, it begins to self-activate again. I've tried using fresh carts, recharged battery, cleaned all terminals but to no avail. Any ideas?

I'd contact CS, sounds like a problem with the airflow switch. They'll take good care of you!

Thanks for the advice! Just contacted them. We'll see what happens.

Seems like your CE3 has a resistance problem, if you could measure the resistance you could see what's going on. Too high or too little resistance mostly causes this. If you use a regular 2.8Ω carto the problem goes away.

Sounds like the airflow switch is getting stuck. Take off the ce3 and blow through the battery. The light will activate for 8 seconds and then turn off. This should fix it if the switch is stuck.

yes it does sound like a stuck switch due to liquid

Thank you all for the help and advice. Blowing through the battery and giving it a good clean around the threads fixed the problem. Back to enjoying my Volt! Three weeks without smoking and feeling great!
