What causes more "splatter and pop"?

[Train2]

I've got a coil running that's quite similar to others I have in use - it's providing GREAT flavor and vapor.
But it's also providing some dramatic pops. Shot a little juice out the airhole even.

Does a lower or higher coil placement make for more popping? Or does an angle prevent it?

I probably won't do anything more substantial than those kind of changes - cause I'm really enjoying the vape (and this teensy little atty seems to be protecting my face from any splatter)...but I'd still like to know if it's controllable...

FYI, though I'm sticking basically with these variables:
Single coil, 28g. wrapped on 1.8mm bit, about 7 wraps squeezed for 1.0 ohms, small shiseido cotton wick, wet by squonkin'

I've really only experiencing the snap, crackle and pop of a coil when using twisted builds. Never with just a single 28G coil at 1 ohm....

It could be indicative of a hot spot and or hot leg thats causing your coil to not heat evenly and the hotter areas are making it pop etc.

I'm going to say that it's an efficient coil Things that can increase it are:

1) Freshly charged batteries.
2) Greater surface area but still a fairly low ohm build.
3) Twisted wire coils as tmal stated above.

It generally comes from a large surface area coil heating up very fast, hence why twisted low ohm build increase the chance of it happening.

thanks for the replies - it seems to have "settled down" actually - so perhaps it was a hotspot I didn't catch, and worked itself out...

Yeah i get this more with a new coil, after a while it tends to settle down as the coil gets gunked.

may be just me, but i've noticed when i wake up my atomizer is like this, spitting and popping everywhere!

a good vape session later, and it's back to it's normal small pops and sizzles.

i'm guessing overnight the juice saturates the wick more, so it pops violently when the heat is first applied?
