Popping noise!

[bumbles]

Ive been using my vapouriz tank for a couple of days now but on and off with real tabbacco, im trying to get used to it before i totally switch,

quite often when i press the button just before i inhale it makes a loud popping noise, it really makes me jump,
is this normal?
i dont like something that close to my face doing that

Yep its normal, its "firing". Its the noise it makes converting liquid to vapor.

That popping sound is the noise of your e-liquid giving up its life so you may live yours longer.

It's perfectly normal for a coil head to pop a little. The wire in the top of the juice tank is getting hot enough to vaporize your juice - this sometimes makes a noise.

If you want to see the mechanics of it, you can usually remove the top part of your juice 'dispenser' or tank and actually see it work when you press the button - just to put your mind at rest about your face and that...

sometimes if there is too much water or saliva on the coil it will pop, but usually it's just the juice that is be vaporized.

To be honest, its a surefire sign that there is an issue with your attomizer/coil/cartomizer if it isn't popping!

I like the popping and crackling sounds. When it becomes less and less I know I'll be dry burning or changing it soon.

I find all mine pop on the first fire of the button. Some are scary. Top coil clearomisers (CE4/5 or Innokin iClear16) are well known for this.

Remember getting a cigarette that would pop unexpectedly ? Or emit some incredible stench (worse than usual) ?

Even with a top brand, I would sometimes see a twig or chunk in the tobacco that would sizzle or flare up ...

A little popping sound from the atomizer doesn't bother me at all, since its contained, not inches from my unprotected face (which would not benefit from any additional damage ... )

I love that popping. It is usually accompanied by a good vape!
