I'm currently using a kgo with a 1.5 ohm dual coil carto. I'm getting loads of crackling. It's worse when the carto is full and seems to happen less as the liquid lessens but, never completely stops. Is this normal or is the carto bad?

First off a low resistance (1.5 ohm) dual coil carto may be too low for a Kgo. Most don't reccommend dual coils for this setup.
snap-crackle-pop is normal for a wet juicy carto, especially at the wattage you're running with that LR dual coil setup.

Agrees Crackling is good ;D
On the other hand, if it starts spitting, it most likely means you have over filled the carto & got juice down the tube, easily sorted by blowing through the mouthpiece end while holding a tissue over the thread end.

Thanks everyone, it was making me a little nervous but, now I won't worry.
Harplayer, Can you suggest something that would work better with the kgo? I'm only 2 weeks into vaping and it's been overwhelming trying to figure everything out. I received an order of LR boges today and find myself wondering they are even what I need. I'm preferring fruity flavors at this point and think I read SR would be better for that. Is that correct?

If it sounds like bacon frying it's good.
If it sounds like water boiling it's overfilled.
Vape on.
Bullette says woof!

The hiss, snap, crackle and pop of a LR carto is good. It means you are getting vaping goodness. On the KGO or E-Power 14650 switch to Smoktech single coil 1.7 ohm to 2.0 ohm to get more of the goodness. The cone on the E-Power 14650 is designed to act as a muffler for all of this LR goodness noise. It also keeps the carto running hotter.

That's the sweet sound of a carto firing properly. A's the element becomes coated the crackling will be subdued. I've found the best carto for the Kgo, or any 3.7 PV, is the Resurector aka Smok Tech XL single coil 1.7. The XL carto holds about 1.8 ml juice which means less filling.
What you ordered is just right. I only use the standard resistance cartos for my mini or for high voltage. Otherwise I like the 2.0 cartos. They're smaller than the cartomizers you already have but they perform well. I mostly vape fruity flavors too and love the 2.0 cartos for that.
Edit: Vapoor is right- the 1.7 cartos are excellent too! And they are bigger!
I would avoid the dual coil cartos with the Kgo (especially LR ones), but as far as which single coil carto is best is subjective.
I use low resistance cartos for some juices and standard resistance for others.
I suggest you get a few of each and experiment to see what YOU like the best.
There is really no right or wrong, some people like hotter vapor and more throat hit, some like cooler vapor and a milder throat hit, some juices sparkle with a standard resistance carto, some shine with a low resistance carto. A good vape is more art than science.

Very true. Try a few of each.
If you do happen to find you like standard resistance cartomizers, your batteries will definitely last longer between charges. I think I read that low resistance reduces charge time by half. But don't quote me on that. I can't live without LR cartos though so for me, it's worth it.

I haven't had any trouble with dual coil 1.5 cartos on 650, 900, and 1100 batts, other than they run down faster.
Smoktech single coil 2.0 LR XL cartos hold exactly the the same amount of liquid as the so-called 'Resurrector": the Smoktech single coil 1.7 ohm LR XL carto. The difference is in vaping temperature, which is a matter of user taste. E-liquid capacity is exactly the same with the two cartos.
