Is it OK if I can hear the atty vaporizing the juice?

Hello,

Just got my fist PV in the mail, an Ego-T. I find that I enjoy the experience more if I draw slow enough that I can hear the "crackling" of the juice being vaporized (when I draw quicker, there is no noise). Is this harmful to the atty? Note that it is not the sound itself I enjoy, it is the feel (more th without stinging), but the noise worries me.

that is perfectly normal..

Not harmful and probably a bit of a flood in the atty - it may very well go away...

What doots said...perfectly normal. I like the noise so I know it's working properly.

I love that sound... That's the sound of freedom from analogs!

Nah, your good. I like the slow drag too. A barely noticable crackle or gurgle means your about to get a perfect hit. For cartomisers, the louder that crackle, the better! Those ego T's though, just be careful not to take too long of a drag. They can dry up quick, and need time to wick. Sometimes a few seconds, but still.

the sound is a good thing, it means the atty is working, I love that sound

I worry more when I don't hear any noise out of my rig. Is there any juice?? Did I burn out my atty??
Nope just have to use a battery I remembered to charge! Doh

Thanks guys, I feel better now. BTW, it is so nice to have fingers that don't smell like they have been soaking in a dirty ashtray!

I'll just add that a little hiss is good. It means you're not starving your atty. A gurgle with less vape is probably a flood and that's not so good. Sounds like you're getting the hiss.

i stopped using the ego mega attys and carts because of the gurgling noise....using LR atty and stock carts now, much better.

Well if you start getting problems like, burnt taste, or plastic taste.. don't fear... it is normal practice to direct drip on LR's since they run so hot... they also need more juice feeding to it at a quicker rate.... just something to keep in mind

Yeah, you should worry when it stops making noise or crackles too much. I just lost a bunch of atties from overuse (maybe?) and now like to check the vapor production to make sure it still works fine.

I love that sound too. Kind of reminds me of an analog on a really cold morning - just without all the junk going into my lungs!

My feelings exactly, although there are not too many cold mornings here in Florida!
