Does it stay in on it's own while heating or do you hold it in?
Mine doesn't heat at all but I have confirmed that power is present in the socket. I think the coil element may just be mucked up - anyone ever dismantle/clean/repair one? |

Militant non-smoker here but I'm the kinda guy that if something is supposed to work, I want it to work.
Does it stay in on its own or do you hold it? I've done a lot of searching but can't seem to find coils - maybe I'm not hitting on the right search syntax. I'm think I need to check continuity between the coil and the shell... Does it stay in on it's own while heating or do you hold it in?
