why is this? my guess is its gonna die soon. when i hit the button, i get 1 loud snap then the draw is fine, but it happens every time. its the only one of my "active" cartos that does this

I have noticed that the cartos with polyfill (E1) will do that occasionally. I had one of them that fired with a single loud pop and died right there

When I asked this question I was told it's flavor gnomes. :laugh:

Currently I have several in my collection that did this when I used them. They've now been washed 2 to 3 times and are still going strong, so it's not necessarily a sign that they're going out. The only trouble I ever had with them is once in a while they would pop and at the same time spit a small amount of hot juice out the mouthpiece. That made me wonder if maybe the ones that pop don't have their coil completely covered or something. It might be my imagination, but the poppers also seem to produce better vapor.
