Does 316L SS crackle and pop on you?

[Hawaiian Nate]

This is my first time using 316L ss wire on my rda and this thing crackles and pops like crazy!!! It's a 9 wrap 2.5 ID fused Clapton 28g cores and 40g outer (if that makes sense) 0.26 ohms at 40watts. Thought it was just that build so I put another one in a different rda and I get the same thing. Is this normal?

Maybe the reason is the fused clapton plus eventually some water in Your liquid? Maybe, maybe not...

That's what I thought at first but it does the same thing with my Mage RTA with different juice. I think it's the coils. Got um on eBay 10 pre built coils for $10.

A little cracking and popping is nothing to worry about, as long there is no spitting back. It is not a bug...it is a feature!

Generally I've found that wicking is what causes the popping. Wick it a little bit tighter.

Rather than type of material I've found airflow, loose wicking, positioning of the coil or power to be the cause most of the time. I've also found clapton, fused and twisted to pop more than straight wire builds, probably due to the extra surface area.

It's really not a big deal unless your getting spit back then you'll probably want to adjust things.

should get a bit better after a 3-4ml of juice. I found any coil close together spits more so I run spaced coils or in a tank with a longer/smaller dia chimney.
