So im fairly new to vaping and watch a bunch of yt to see how to build n tips n tricks n also to see whats new and do research on attys and mods. But ive come to a few videos mainly GrimmGreen and his views on 'crackle' seem to have me curious. I have had a bunch of coils do it with varying sounds and loudness and want to see what everyone else thinks and your views on which coils 'crackle' the most. Now im not talking about spitting thats not fun at all the sound im talking about is just that a sound and doesnt make spitback it seems to vaporise the liquid quick enough to no cause the spitting but it produces that awesome Crackle im speaking of. Now from my research n speaking to a friend it seems to be more surface area and the looser your coils wicked is what causes it but i just rewicked a 3mm alien and its more tighter than it was and now crackles louder than it did b4. So for the info currently i have cloud revolutions game over man tripple 28s in one of my rtas a steamcrave meson to b exact and and im using a 3mm cloud bar that i wrapped into my kylin3 and also have an Aiolien in my stubby which all 3 crackle at different volumes. My question is. What types of coils and wattages n theories do you guys have that makes this crazy loud without causing spitback. What coils produce more sound? As i seem to love it when it does it i dont know if its the asmr or what but when it doesnt pop i dont enjoy vaping i think it has to do with timing also as i also pull as long as it pops then stop as it slows down. Also seeing the GrimmGreen and Breeztones stream i watched Adam take a rip and holy heck did his atty sound like a maracca lmao. Anyway hope to hear from some of you. And again ive used coilology tricore n quadcore fused claptons and theyve also done it but these cloudrev aliens do it more than cheaper aliens did. But im curious if any ones got any other theories and practice with other coils n methods. I havent used anything like framed staples or fraliens or staggered anything the only types i have used are aliens fused claptons and a friend gave me some juggernauts that i tried out which also popped a little bit. Anyway keen to see some theories.

The short answer would be that you can get any coil to crackle, You just need to adjust the power up until it starts crackling.

Moreover, the beefier the coils, the more power you need to get them to crackle. So at the same wattage, the flimsier coils crackle more. Ofc the wicking needs to be good enough to keep up with the "crackle-wattage".

Favorite crackle: A simple thin roundwire build, using e.g. 28ga kanthal, inside a mtl-rta.

On the topic of youtube: The crackle gets amplified by the microphones. It isn't that loud irl.

I haven’t been making my own coils for awhile. My fave was always a simple single strand of ss316 or Ni80 as best for ramp up and down. You’ve given me the bug again.

You really can't crackle without snap and pop. It wouldn't be right.
lol! Nothimg like a good crackle snap and pop. I usually turning the watts up until I get to that point. I like my vapes warm so it works well for me.
