RM2 popping sounds?

[lauderdog]

Hi guys, I know this is noooby as hell but is there a wick placement that might cut down on the "pop pop" when I vape? Getting great flavor and vapor with my micro coil at 1.7 ohms on my VV, but with each hit, I am definitely getting at least one pop or so where you can kinda feel it in the drip tip. No juice in mouth, just a minor thing. Is this normal and am I being too picky? I love the silent vape from a genesis style atty. thanks in advance!

I have one occasionally pop too much. I most usually wrap and go and don't rectify it till another time when I have a few minutes. I am certainly no expert but I wonder if maybe moving the coil up from the deck a smidgen would help. Seems like too much juice either by overly large wick or tails and/or juice pooled around a wick, too close to coil could cause popping. I remember soon after I started using 306 and i06 and finding my sweet spot with a bit of juice reaching almost to coil that i had more popping with them than other attys.

But mine usually don't pop. I keep the juice hole end barely tickling deck and other end barely touching deck.

Wow, unless its my imagination, moving the coil a smidge higher seems to have improved this... You rock!

I like the crackle, a lot.

I find that it goes away after, at most, a day of vaping on a given wick and seems to go away faster if I use a thicker strand of cotton. I am wondering if maybe your wick needs to be thicker.

edit - day late and a dollar short Glad you got it fixed up

I think thicker is key...I've been using less in my wicks because I thought I had too much and that's also when it started to happen...now where's that cotton ball...

i have one that wheezes like an old man 3 PAD smoker just waking up. that's a sound that i used to know all too well but is thankfully fading from memory

guess i'll try fiddling with the coil. thanks!

I always get a pop the first couple of hours on the coil. Actually, I kind of like it because it's kind of indicative of a "hot" vape. I think it will pass if you hold wait.

I think I was using too little wick, also. I haven't had any popping, in past couple of days, since I added a smidgen more cotton to wick. And I got down to so little cotton I was having to squonk more frequently and the vape was a little dry.

I like the popping as well. sounds like the crackle of the end of a stoge.

Yes! I like it so much that when it starts to fade and my vape makes no sound I feel like I'm missing out on something. The crackle definitely reminds me of the sounds I used to hear when I took a big drag off an American Spirit

crackle crackle crackle I love that sound.

i've found tipping my rba so that the air hole is pointing directly upwards reduces this phenomenon and drastically increases the flavor. Also shorter wicks just helps all around.

crackle crackle crackle I love that sound.

..Me too!

 

[lauderdog]

I don't mind the crackle so much as the big POP when I fire...but it does seem to be settling in! You guys are great.

 

[Statistic]

Ah yeah, I'll agree with that for sure.. the big juice explosions are no fun

 

[oldbroad]

..Me too!

ME three!!!For me, the vape tastes better when it snap crackles n pops!

edit: but I don't get any juice explosions...maybe you're juicing the wick just a tad too much?

I did American Spirit for several years then last two years smoking the Organic. Only stinky that didn't make me cough by mid day. Only place to reliably get them was Costco. Right before discovering vaping I had located a place that had loose to roll yer own. Cost @ $65/carton for two smokers, 2-2.5 PAD X 2 had gotten out of hand. Lots of money to spend on REOs huh?

I don't rember the crackling, though.

I love when my rba crackles and pops. hey, idea for the next reo. a built in speaker that crackles and pops for us!!

If its not cracklin' & poppin' you're not doing it right. Seriously though, I enjoy the fireworks. Makes me feel like something's actually happening. Not gonna lie though, I may have been startled outta my chair a time or two by a crazy big POP.

Its got to do with the wick density, but even the worst offenders will quiet down after some use.

I love that snap, crackle, and pop!
