EGO Cartomizer

[arabhorse]

Goodmorning everyone. Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful morning. I am vaping away this morning on my ego carto with cappiccino flavor. 30%pg. The flavor is too sweet. Not caring for it too much. But I am getting my nic fix. But I digress. What I was wondering is: being a noob and as this is my first cartomizer, I hear a crackle sound once in a while. It only happens when I start to vape after not vaping for a few minutes. I dont get a burnt taste or any off taste ( except for the cappiccino sweetness---uggggggggggg) Is this normal with an ego cartomizer? Also I am sucking too much air. Is there a way I can adjust the air flow? Maybe I should try a 510 cartomizer?

Is there added sweetner to your juice? VG does add sweetness 'naturally', so I would expect 70% VG to be quite on the sweet side. I used to vape 50/50, and found that was too sweet for my taste too...so now I stay around 70/30-80/20 (PG/VG).

The crackling sound is normal....not sure why it does that, but I get that from ALL atty's!

Thanks MsBree. I can't handle any more than 30% pg so I may be stuck with some sweetness. I am trying different juices to see if I can find the sweet spot I hear so much about. I did add extra flavor to this. I amgoing to try RY4 next as I would really like to have my main vape tobbaco flavor.

the crackle that you hear (from what i have read) is the liquid that is "stuck" in the atomizer air holes. you can take the atomizer out, blow into it from both directions to clear it out and put it back on and you will hear no crackle...thing is, after a little while you will hear it again. to totally prevent this, you have to use ear plugs

Most every cartomizer I've used has had a crackle to it. I just assumed it was the heat boiling the juice or something of that sort. Some atomizers do it too, but I've had some that didn't at all for some reason.

Ear plugs it is. LOL I just didn't want to burn up my carto by having done something stupid. The crackle doesnt bother me.

Personally, I prefer to hear that crackle. That's one way I know that my PV is working.
Am I not supposed to let it crackle?

crackle = hot atty and maybe too much juice in the atty. Pushing the button and drawing too late? Mine do it all the time, not worried about it. Try moving the button press and draw closer together.
