So I'm running a Kraken Genesis on a Nemesis at .6 ohms, dual coil, with 30g kanthal and cheesecloth wrapped SS mesh. It usually makes popping noises, I assume this is because of hotspots? Also, the vape is unusually hot, I blame hotspots for this too. Usually I take my time coiling, but I was in a hurry. You guys think its something other than hotspots?

I run my krakens straight mesh, double wicks w/ 28 kanthal. I get the same thing for about the first 8 mils then it works out. Are you using high drain batteries? Mine usually crackle on the first 8-10 hits of a 30A batt. I think those tiny wick ports are the culprit, Got another clone in the mail and I'm going to attempt drilling it out to 3mm. small wicks heat up too much imho.
