Why does my atty pop?

[fiddleshe]

When I hit the fire button on my box about 2 seconds in my atty pops sometimes a little and sometimes very loud. It scares the beegeebies out of me when its loud and I check to see if I have all my teeth. What causes this and how do I make it stop?

What kind of atty?

 

[Sloth Tonight]

Could be any number of things, honestly. What atty is it? What wattage are you vaping at? What kind of coil?

Lemo 2

Is it flooded?

It sounds like you use thin juice(50/50PG/VG) with a coil that is made for DL and works with high VG e-liquids.

That's happened to me. It went away when I rewicked without me being able to figure out what I did different.

I read it could happen if you used too low power. I tried upping the power and it went away, but by then the vape was way too hot for me. Someone else said it could happen if there was a gap somewhere between the coil and the wick.

I do use 50/50. I dont know what my coil is for. I use 26 ga kanthal. .52 ohms.

I vape at 13.5 watts

So you are using it with the RBA not with the drop in coil..Perhaps you need to put more cotton at the wick slots,
and make sure cotton inside the coil is not too loose not too tight.With lower VG put more cotton in the wicking slots,with higher VG put less.
Edit:It is an RTA,my mistake.

I'll have to mess with the cotton. Sometimes after rewicking it stops.

The Lemo 2 is a RTA, no RBA or drop in coil.
I agree about trying more wicking for 50/50 juice tho.

I get my wick tight. Maybe too tight. I might need to loosen it up. Worth a try?

You could try it.
Also before screwing the chimney cap on, look down in the chimney at the wick tails, and be sure they are filling the space on each side of the coil. Any gaps there could cause flooding, leaking, excessive popping.

This thing leaks for me. Not everyone has this problem I hear.
