NJoy Sizzle?
Have any NJoy users out there had the following happen to them?
I was enjoying my NJoy (at work, at my desk...shhh, don't tell anybody) when all of the sudden it produced the most god-awful taste and smell. I quickly sputtered out the the vapor I hadn't inhaled yet and pulled the cartridge off the atomizer. I could hear the atomizer emitting a sizzling noise for about 3 seconds. Once that died down, I put the cartridge back in and started puffing. The taste/smell is still present, but it's fading as I puff.
I checked the atomizer and I couldn't find any fibers lodged anywhere they shouldn't be. And the sound the atomizer made when it was sizzling sounded...liquid-y...not how I'd expect a burning cartridge fiber to sound (if burning cartridge fibers even make sound).
Any ideas?
Having never been through an e-cig cleaning cycle, I don't know what those are like, but could that have been the cause? Do NJoys even have a cleaning cycle?

Man, that's a new one. All I
Man, that's a new one. All I know is my Njoy has been tasting like CRAP since I got the new atomizer. I don't even want to puff it anymore. Like melted plastic. Gahhhhhhhhhh!
I'm tired of emailing Mark at Njoy. And I don't wanna pack this beyatch up and send it back. I need ideas myself.
Have you got the new ceramic atomizer too?

It didn't seem any warmer
It didn't seem any warmer than usually does during a good e-smoking session.
Here's my theory for now:
The cartridge was drying out, so the atomizer didn't have the normal amount of fresh liquid flowing into it. Thus, a higher concentration of icky liquid that builds up in it over time was being vaporized. I'm not sure why it sizzled, but, like the good Mr. Darcy suggests, maybe the crackling noise is somewhat normal. The higher concentration of gross old liquid being vaporized lead to the icky smell.
One of the reasons I'm thinking this is because, in the past, when I've blown out the atomizer in an attempt to keep it clean, I've noticed a similar smell being present for a short time afterward.
When I got home from work, I blew out the cartridge several times to get any and all old liquid out of it. After that, I dripped a few drops from a new cartridge into it to prime it, stuck another cartridge in it, and the smell is largely gone and fading. The thing isn't producing as much vapor now, but that very well could be due to the fact that this battery is about due for a recharge. As soon as my other battery charges up, I'll swap'em and see how that treats me.
I have no idea if anything I've done will make any difference. But, as with most things e-cig, a little hocus-pocus sometimes does the trick, and at the very least, it keep us busy. :-)
