Pop Goes the E-Juice

[ValleyVayper]

Good morning!

So, in the interest of increasing the life of my wicks/coils, I have started to do a dry burn on them occasionally. So far, it has worked great - except for a couple of them. I noticed that when I first vape on tanks with those coils, I get a somewhat loud "POP". It does it once and then it doesn't happen again. I'm not sure what's up with this but I thought I would ask before I end up blowing my face off whilst vaping. I'm relatively new at this (vaping since 1/28/14), so any advice would be helpful. Thank you so much!

I wonder if the popping comes from some residual moisture being pulled through the wick... but regardless I promise it won't blow your face off

I get the same pop on occasion... it seems to happen mainly on larger diameter coils in the Kayfun

Ok. I feel much more reassured. I have noticed that it only happens in my glass tanks. I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

I find if I put a few drops of juice on the tips of the wick I don't get much popping...

lower ohms I get the pop on startup. Love that pop. I started using long stem drip tips so juice does not go in my mouth. LOL

I'm trying to getting much bigger vapor clouds. No luck. Any suggestions

I've noticed a firm correlation between how well a coil is wicked and that "popping" sound some setups make.. Stock coils with a loose wrap or unpinched micros/nanos develop a tiny hotspot which presumable super heats a small area of juice
