Avocado 24 loud popping and spitting back

[XontriAntilopi]

Hi everyone,
so I have have this Avocado 24. I use Koh Gen Do cotton and I cut the tails short just 1-2 mm inside down the wholes. First one or two puffs after I wick the coils are fine but after it starts doing some loud popping and spitting back out of the airflow and tip. I am using the ready coils which are made out of Clapton wire, I thinks is 2.5mm, one coil is 0.8 ohm and I buid it with 2 coils. I vape on 30-35 watts. I vape 70VG/30PG Dinner Lady lemon tart (its quite thick e-juice) Any ideas what could be wrong with it? Thanks

Did you try raising the wattage? That's what I heard when you get popping & spitback there's not enough heat going through the coil, so it just sputters & spits. It's worth a try until someone else jumps in.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I haven't tried in higher tempreture because I was afraid not to burn it. In your oppinion at what wattage should I vape?

Just increase at 1 watt increments until the popping stops. Let me know how you make out.

Whenever this happens to me, it's usually because I didn't use enough cotton.

If you aren't using enough cotton, that means juice could be pooling around your build too quickly, which would cause spitback and popping.

I would try what Heartsdelight suggested first, and then if that doesn't fix it, I can almost guarantee you don't have enough cotton going thru your coils. Good luck!

Often spitting will be caused if your wick is too loose in the coil. Small puddles of juice in the space between the coil and the wick expand and explode causing the popping and crackling your describing.

Whenever I don't use just the right amout of cotton in a build, it sounds like I'm popping bubble wrap when I fire it. Try using just a bit more cotton in your coil and it should lessen quite a bit (as suggested ^^)

Everyone is right with trying more cotton. I noticed I would get the occasional pop when I fluffed the cotton ends. I stopped fluffing and left as is a while ago and no more popping.

Heartsdelight I tried but still the same

Thanks everyone. I've tried with more cotton, I've tried with less.. Nothing works The only thing I haven't tried yet is what Vapefiend said about stop fluffing the ends. Lets see how this works..

Sorry it didn't work let us know what happens when you don't fluff the wick ends.

If that doesn't work either, try with a little more or less airflow. If that doesn't work as well, you can always try a different type of coil.

I have the Avocado as well. I found that if the wicks are too wet, the popping and spitting is bad.
I sometimes drip liquid onto the wicks not using the tank, then it gets bad. So maby just don't over soak the wicks. I hope this helps
