Kanger Subtank mini POPPING

[fcomputerg]

Ok I love my new tank but really what's with all the popping crackling sound.
I have found both stock occ heads and rta do it. I can't really make it stop just get slightly less by upping or lowering wattage.

I wonder if its maybe the mix im using 50/50 or something....
Any answers? istick 50w by the way.

Sometimes its water in the juice.....Most times I take it as a sign that the tank coils are alive and well and getting enough juice.( I suggest you ignore it )

Its just funny because my first starter tank kanger geni doesn't really do it at all. I wasn't sure if it was something im doing or not.

Its a good thing.

Yes, good. Means your wicking juice art a good pace! Enjoy!!

Does it just make popping noises or is it also "spitting" small drops of juice up thru the drip tube?

Moved to Clearomizers

Both really more often in higher wattage say over 18

I've had two OCC coils pop and spit and two that did not using the same juice at the same wattage on the same mod. When mine pop and spit, they do it when first fired and then crackle as usual. I consider crackling good (normal) and popping/spitting bad. It's frustrating when you get a spitter.

Instead of starting a new thread, I thought I would ask this question here. Has anyone that's had the pop/spit issue with the Kanger OCC coils been able to figure out a way to solve the issue. My original included 1.2 ohm coil popped and spit the most. I tried the original .5 ohm coil that was included and got zero popping/spitting, just normal crackling. I picked up a 5-pack of 1.2 ohm coils and the first one I tried worked perfectly for three weeks with zero popping /spitting. Today I installed a new 1.2 ohm and guess what it pops and spits. I have a IPV Mini 2 (70w) and start new coils out at low wattage (12w) and work my way up and I rarely vape above 20w. I've been using the same juice (Hangsen RY4 6mg) with each coil and I let them saturate for twenty minutes or so and then take a few primer pulls with air closed. I've seen it suggested that higher VG may help, but I don't understand why some coils do it and some don't with the same juice? Any suggestions appreciated!

Same situation as you except my popping is with the .5 ohm coils, the 1.2 ohms work better for me. I won't be buying anymore .5 coils, I Vape more for flavor then clouds.

I didn't get the popping with the .5 ohm OCC but the 1.2 ohm OCC pops ... louder/stronger the more it sits without firing. I have a new .5 ohm OCC that I will be installing today. We'll see if this one has the same issue.

It's really no big deal, but if you aren't thinking about it, it can catch you off guard.

 

[erratum]

changed it out for the .5 ohm ... just a slight pop .... the 1.2 ohm I was using would pop so hard that it would shoot the vapor into my mouth without me inhaling.

Edit: Spoke too soon ... she's a poppin' now.

I have a new kanger subtank mini also. it pops and spits with 50/50 at 25-30w on either my kbox or sigelei mini. But I changed to a 70/30 mix and it crackles so i'm good. I'll live with the crackling for now.

My starter occ coils didnt pop out of 2 tanks i own they did a smooth sizzle. You got any juice in your afc chamber could be the coil slightly flooding out and boiling the extra juice will drip into afc.

Popping and spitting is the least of my problems with the subtank mini. My biggest issue is the constant leaking. I've tried just about everything... changing o-rings, stuffing more cotton on one side.. you name it. It still leaks more often than not. It's my least favourite tank... actually I'm pretty much ready to chuck it out the window!
