Noisy Noisy Noisy Kayfun Lite !

[Flt Simulation]

I have a Kanger T2 and an AeroTank ... Both these clearomizers are very quiet when vaping.

Now on the very opposite end of the noise scale is this Kayfun Lite Plus (v2). When you vape it, this thing makes all kinds of hissing, crackling, popping and snapping sounds. Noisy as hell.

I am not feeding it too much power. In fact, I am using a single 1.6 ohm coil and feeding it 3.6v (8.1 watts). The wick is cotton ball. I can tell you the sound is not "gurgling" of juice because if I suck on in without applying electrical power, it's dead quiet.

It's only noisy when you push the button and vape.

I am very happy with this atomizer because it don't leak or flood, and no dry hits either, but Jeeeze ... compared to my other clearomizers, this thing is really noisy.

Adjusting the airflow from tight to loose really don't help cut down on all the crackling and snapping sounds either.

Any ideas? .... BTW, this Kayfun is authentic and was purchase from "InTaste" in Germany.

Again, I really like vaping this Kayfun, I just can't believe how noisy it is.

It's the cotton wick.
Mine does the same thing on the first drag or 2 then settles down until I sit it aside for a while.
More or less cotton or a different arrangement may change the way it reacts.

Thanks ..... I am going to try cotton yarn for a wick next

That snap, crackle and pop is music to my ears. It means I have set up the device right. As crxess said, it will settle down in a bit of time. My stock clearos are generally much quieter than my rebuildables, but they are also much, much less 'right'.

Now, if you want to hear a really loud atty try a Trident with dual coils at 0.5 ohms with fresh cotton

I was glad to see this. I have one in route and probably would have thought something was wrong with it, when it started crackling and popping. Thank's ya'll!

That crackle means all is right with the world! It's the sound of comfort and joy!

for me the crackle means ive got the coil to close to the air inlet. if i raise my coil just right at the right height above the air hole it never crackles, just a smooth perfect hit.

Heck Yeah !! If it aint doing the old "Snap Crackle, Pop" then I have an improper build.

Think of the sound of a car off the showroom floor and then think about the sound of a dragster gettin ready to go down the track.
One is tame and lame and the other is ready to give you a hell of a ride !!

Everything i own pops and crackles, i get the most volume from a Protank i think. My KFL is a muted sounded crackle, not that loud. Using cotton as well. Just remember popping and crackling good, loud hissing BAD, dry hittts

 

[Flt Simulation]

I get hissing too ... but no dry hits at all.

Crackling, hissing, popping, snapping

I just can't believe how quiet that cheap Kanger T2 is (but believe it or not, that top feeder T2 "Sunfire" vapes really nice)

I would be disappointed if none of my Kayfuns made that oh so satisfying noise. It's the sound of satisfaction!

I never thought of it that way ... right on

 

[Bunnykiller]

all that noise is caused by your juice.... cotton by itself doesnt make any noise ( well it may scream in pain from being burnt)

 

[cantstopwontstop]

crack sound + little bubbles=

If my build doesn't snap crackle and pop, I rebuild it because I know it isn't right. When it makes noise it is PERFECT.
