Carto hissing?

[trav901]

Should it be doing this? I got new Boge 510 blanks and filled a couple today. They hiss like I'm sucking a straw. Is it too much juice, not enough, or something else? The rubber cap is in the whole way so I'm not sure where air
could be escaping, or if that's even the problem ( but that's what it sounds like).

If you are just starting out, this is normal. There will be some crackling and popping occasionally. If you hear gurgling, there is probably too much liquid in the cart.

I thought the same thing at 1st. Then I started to love the hissing and popping sound. I am kinda weird tho

Wait - you push the rubber cap back in after you fill them?

It means it's upset at you and ready to pounce.

If you mean the rubber ones with the hole in the middle that you take out when you fill the carto, no. I think they were used before drip tips were invented.

I put the cap back on the top, yes.

I just discovered air channels on the thread end of the cartos. Pretty sure that's the issue. Did I get the wrong kind? Do I need an adapter? I got regular resistance Boge cartos for myvapestore.com. I have a joye 510. Should I send them back (I already filled 3 of the 5)?

Carto poppin' and cracklin' = satisfied happy coil farts
Carto hissing = just a happy coil pizzin' your joose away

Either case, be thankful!!!

Ha, there is even a user here who named himself after that...AttyPops!

Yep, it's par for the course. Just remember to keep your cartos wet, but not too wet.

I love the sound of a freshly filled new carto. That snap, crackle, pop is music to my ears.

Yep, all cartos will have those air channels. You gotta get the air in there from somewhere so you are in good shape.

You will enjoy your cartos even more with a drip tip. It is called a drip tip but for those that don't drip it is actually just a nice mouth piece.

I've never heard of doing that - what is the purpose of that? Also, could that be the cause of the strange noises? Sorry for the dumb questions - I'm still new to cartos!

Throw the rubber cap away unless you can find a inventive use for it other than to drop and go bouncing accost the room only to find your Chiwawaa hacking it up a couple days later;-)

You will learn to enjoy that hissing crackling noise it means all is well in your carto tank world.

The only porpose it serves if you use a DT is one more thing to dig out before you fill it each time.

I'm assuming yr referring to the long caps that cover both ends when it's in the box. I meant the cap that goes on top after you fill the carto that has a hole in it for inhaling through. If that wasn't there I'd get filling and juice in my mouth.

The atty that came with the joye 510t doesn't have channels. Blu cartos don't either. It's a solid contact surface on the batt in those, and there's no hiss with them.

True but they both are lower end preforming you need air to get good performance thats why you get hissing.

I think 99% of the vaping world uses Drip tips so that little piece of rubber is not needed buy most, but if you dont use a drip tip then ya it serves a propose.

Actually, the hissing sound is the sound of your juice vaporizing.
The "air holes" are just that. Holes to let air flow over the wire when you draw through it.
The hissing also happens more often with batteries that use pulse-modulation to regulate the voltage/wattage.

Basically, if you don't get at least a small hissing noise, you are one step away from flooding your coil and that reduces the amount of vapor.

Will edit this in a couple seconds/min when I find a good video that could help explain pulse-modulation...

I can agree with your first part of your post but a carto will hiss in a mech mod as well. Its as you said its the wonderful sound of vapor we all know and love

Yes it does. Just MORE OFTEN with pulse. my straight voltage ego does not hiss at all, but I have an ego twist and a spinner that do. One is pulse and the other, I think uses an internal resistor... Could be wrong about that though. My meter will read one and just flashes on the other.
