A device that keeps firing after you've clearly stopped drawing is usually a stuck mechanism rather than anything more serious — either a physical button not releasing properly, or an airflow sensor misreading on a draw-activated device.
On button-activated devices, a button that doesn't fully spring back into place after being pressed can keep the firing circuit completed even after you've released pressure. Checking for visible debris or residue around the button is a reasonable first step before assuming anything more serious.
A sensor that's overly sensitive, or affected by moisture or e-liquid residue, can occasionally continue registering a draw briefly after you've actually stopped pulling. This tends to resolve on its own but is worth noting if it happens repeatedly.
Some devices have a continuous-fire or lock mode that, if triggered accidentally through a button combination, produces exactly this symptom. Checking the device's specific control scheme for an accidentally engaged mode is worth doing before assuming a hardware fault.
Continuous unintended firing wastes both battery charge and e-liquid, and can also overheat a coil that's firing well beyond its intended draw length — worth fixing promptly rather than letting it run, both for the device's sake and simple waste.
If cleaning the button and confirming no lock setting is engaged doesn't resolve it, a genuinely stuck internal switch is the more likely explanation — this typically isn't something to repair yourself, and is worth addressing through wherever the device was purchased or its manufacturer.
No — it's worth stopping use until resolved, both to avoid wasting e-liquid and battery and to prevent overheating a coil that's firing continuously beyond its intended draw pattern.
It's uncommon but possible, usually pointing to a manufacturing defect in the button or sensor rather than anything you did — worth pursuing a replacement if it happens with a genuinely new device.
Yes, entirely — this is about the firing circuit continuing to activate the coil, not about the battery charging process, which is a separate system on most devices.
