Popping but not spitting.

[Kittyntwinstarz]

I have several tanks but right now using the crown OG with .25 coil. It keeps popping in my mouth and this last one burnt my tongue. I blew threw the chimney and it’s not leaking. What else could be the issue.

Dirty coil maybe? There are a couple things that could be happening but that is the most common IMHO

Brand new coil. Just put in last night.

Could be condensation in the air tube draining down on top of coil, press button, pop.
Might be residual/excess unvaporized liquid sitting on coil or build up of gunk from dark, overly flavored highly sweetened liquids.

Try adjusting the wattage, I have heard that too low of a wattage can cause more popping.

Ok the coil doesn’t specify watts but it’s a .25 and I’m at 55 watts

Turn your wattage up just a bit, and close the airflow just a bit. If that works, it's because the wick material is moving juice faster than your coil metal can vaporize it. Increasing the power vaporizes more juice and the tighter airflow increases temperature in the chamber.

If you get a burnt or warning hit, bump them back in the other direction.

Deleted because other people had clearly better solutions than mine

Coil resistance doesn't mean much in variable wattage. You just adjust power and airflow until it feels right and tastes right to you. It could be 50; could be 60. You'll know.

It’s a clear juice and coil is new. No gunk just looked. How do I solve other things you mentioned?

Don't they make screens for that?

The 80's called. They want their Ronco back.

I suppose it could be possible to take a piece of fine screen and cut a small circle out of it that will fit between the drip tip and the base. So remove the tip, fit the screen in and replace the tip.

I would suggest a q-tip for cleaning down in the drip tip (chimney) tube..

 

[Kittyntwinstarz]

I upped the wattage and closed the airflow partly. I’m noticin after I stop hitting there is still vapor in the tip so I’m letting go then continuing to suck to see if that helps. Other than that I got nothing cuz it’s still popping.

 

[Kittyntwinstarz]

No more popping guess it worked. Thanks guys!

I've read in other similar threads for you to keep drawing, after releasing the fire button. It was reported to reduce condensation and subsequent popping. Good to hear you are getting positive results.

I’ve read that is a solution in other threads as well. Glad it’s working for you now.

What tanks are they? Details really help us help you
