Snapping/ popping noise?

[BigPhil]

Hi,

Recently started with my first e-cig (Titan 510) and am mildly concerned at the noise it makes.

When in use I tend to get a snapping/ popping noise from the atty. Is this considered normal? I was wondering if perhaps I was overfilling my cart, or even under filling?

The vapour production is fine, as is TH and I'm not getting any burnt taste. That said, it does tend to leak a little from the cart/ atty connection even when using a new cart with only 2-3 drops of liquid.

Have tried the spring mod that I saw in the tips forum on a couple of carts (superb mod-ty) and that has helped the leaking and greatly increased the vapour, however the snapping noise remains.

So am I worrying about nothing, or just doing it wrong?

Cheers.

Normal. Or it is for me anyway. Although I've found the snap crackle pop does fade substantially as the atty gets "broken in" over the course of a week or two. I would wager a guess that the noise comes liquid on the bridge being a lower temperature than the coil, hitting the coil, and "popping." That's just a guess.

If it sounds like a gurgling noise, it might be a flooded atomizer.

@ MistressNomad: Ah, Thank you That would make sense. The noise doesn't bother me, just wanted to make sure it wasn't something I was doing.

@ suci: I did get a gurgling noise off one cart that I filled a little too much, however this was a definite "popping" noise. (similar to an electrical short/ static discharge kind of sound). But ty

In my experience all atomizers / cartomizers make a hissing and snapping noise , I'd say as long as it's tasting ok I wouldn't worry I've never had anything bad happen because of the noises . I guess it could also be the type of juice maybe someone else would know if that could be the case . I just took a drag off my PV and it was making a hissing I am pretty sure it's normal . Hope that helps
