< 2 (when they pop).
I believe it's about how they're wicked. Sometimes mine do, sometimes they do not. I don't follow any consistent practice when I wick them, other than to stick the cotton inside.
oh lord it's a loud pop.. like makes me jump! i found a couple coils and pulled out my build stuff.. is there a link to rebuilding these? it's been so long i don't remember squat!
Just pull the cotton out (carefully if it's out of the blister pack), then replace it with cotton or rayon. Notice how the stock ones have little bunny tails (both sides), and try to cut the wicking off similarly to that.
Does that make sense? You won't need to rebuild the coils for many (MANY!) months, but when you get there, it's very easy (Shawn Hoefer has an excellent video...).
The vid I've enjoyed the most about the Ego Ones is-
Enjoy, And the pop can be a little disquieting to say the least.

You'll only need to unscrew the top ring to get inside. VERY easy.
I'd do an ECF search, but no time (or patience) right now, but I THINK someone said popping noises were from too much liquid on the coil? It would make sense (somehow). It's like putting drops of water into a hot pan to test it for the right amount of pre-heat, and the water sizzles and sort of pops.
I don't know. Straws, grasping.

Welp, appears I remembered correctly.

Here's some more info, and with that, I wish you all an itty bitty waistline tomorrow. 
Why do my coils/wicks pop & crackle like crazy? (mini explosions)

okay, but this is one big loud pop, i remember popping and crackling, i miss those days. but this makes u about drop your damn mod and your heart skips a beat and the kids look like at you with fear that you may have just blown up! i'll try rewicking now.. but honestly i'm nervous.
thanks guys, i was able to rewick it. it was hard to get the old wick out, and that loud pop is gone. it's a nice sizzle now. that i can do. unfortunately my juice is harsh. i'm not sure if it's the tank or the juice it's alice in vapeland 6 mg. i sub ohm 3, so i don't know. gonna try some other juices and see.
Have you tried the same liquid in other setups? That might be a good start to determine this dilemma.
Good luck, LK. Do let us know.
I had some with red tips, but we didn't call them that...

I don't know what's up with me but vape-nostalgia has taken control. For Black Friday I bought nothing more than two of the silliest things ever. They were cheaper than cheap, and pretty much useless, but I wanted to turn the clock back to 2013 for reasons unknown. Once we get them, you'll surely see some pictures.
I'm sure it means all means something, but I don't know what (yet).
I am grateful; this much I do know.
Whoa! I got Swagged today. Unexpected! I ordered the Swag from FT September 4 -- it was still summer! I figured it had been confiscated, since apparently Greek customs has now gone Hulk Smash mode with ecig stuff. But it arrived, and it's sooo cute! And light! And orange! What a friendly little mod. I'm using it with a silver Ego One V2 2ml with a minimalist white teflon drip tip, and it's a super cute combo. Yay!
