Yes it is normal behavior.  The component of a violet wand that makes the buzzing sound that you hear, is a pair of vibrating tungsten contacts which are magnetized by the wand's electromagnetic core.  The magnetizing is an alternating process, which makes the contacts push together and pull apart very rapidly, causing the buzz.  The higher you turn your wand, the closer together the magnetized contacts get.

If your wand is turned low, the contacts are farthest apart.  When you hold your wand upside down, gravity then pulls the contacts apart even farther.  This makes your wand sputter and even shut off.  You can control this by turning the wand's power higher, or holding your wand more upright.

If you prefer not to 'deal' with a regular wand's electrical coils, you can get a solid state violet wand.  They do not have the vibrating contacts.

We believe in providing you with the most options for customize to your needs.  Everyone's play style is different and what works for you may not work for others.

Good question, Shaiya. 

Its because of the very nature of electricity, that it occurs.  Electricity is always trying to travel.  We use that to our advantage when we want it to travel to someone else.  In the back half of the violet wand is the electromagnetic core which increases the frequency of the violet wand.  This is where you want to be holding the wand; an increase in frequency isn't coming through the plastic there.  In the front half of the wand is the wound electrical coil that increases the voltage.  This increased voltage is what is making the wand's charge that we like to use.  The increased voltage can travel through the wand's shell at this end, especially where the shell is narrower, because electricity is always trying to travel.  If you bring your hand too close to this area, then it finds you first.
