I have seen multiple threads complaining about atty popping and how to fix it, but why is the popping bad? Does it mean that the atty isn't functioning right or is it a personal preference thing?
Why is popping a bad thing?

I’m going with personal preference with the addendum that popping usually involves spitting
PS. I read this thread because my brain initially parsed it “why is pooping a bad thing”. How bored am I then?

Yeah, the spitting is a thing. I just added a Ming style drip tip to get around that bit. But with the engine nano I am noticing I get the juiciest flavor and biggest clouds when the thing is popping and wondered if I was hurting something.
Popping is a small explosion inside your atty. The explosion blows apart fibers in your wick and spits juice into the drip tip. The dryer your wick is the more likely it is to overheat and pop. That said, juice in the mouth also happens with a well saturated wick. So, go figure! A new wick/coil fixes it for a while, so a change is probably the remedy when it gets to a certain point.
Lol, the old adage "in moderation". I have a few atties/builds that pop and don't spit and I love it. They're gettin down and doing their job. I've had a few spit. Not a fan.
Popping is only bad if it results in burned lips from the splatter that results from the pop.... goal is to make the pop more a sizzle.

Okay, this is making more sense to me. Based on what you're all saying what is going on is something between a pop and a sizzle. A sizzley-pop? So long as I'm not destroying the coil or coating the inside of my atty with some indelible gunk that ruins it, I'm okay with it. Thanks very much guys.
You are right on the sound wrong on the rest. ...
Boil a pan of water.... that what you coil is doing to juice... goal is a nice simmer rather than a rolling boil with big bubble of popping fluid.... those pops put juice in your mouth... instead of steam.
Not keeping you atty clean or saving the coil.....

If it pops ... turn it down a notch ... until the coil begins to crust over a bit. Then, you can crank it a little.
Sizzle is a better word. No sizzle and the coil gunk faster. That is the point of dry burning the coil when replacing the wick. I also notice that my coil resistance will rise .1 ohm if I don't keep the coil clean. I dry burn at about 30 watts and I have a smallish metal wire brush to run between the coils and just do a better job. High watts can break down the metal components of the coil. My coils last 2ish months or into three. Sizzle will keep it from gunking.
It doesn't bother me any. It fixes itself the next time I wick it up.
As long as the vapor comes when I push the button, I'm easy.
Popping isn't necessarily a bad thing unless it causes hot juice to spit into your mouth hole. However I have had builds that had an initial POP so intense that it felt like my teeth were rattling in my head. Not pleasant at all.
Low level crackling and sizzling is normal.
IMO popping is due to excess juice on the coil/s.

You might want to slap a patent on that idea, because McDonald's is bound to come out with it now.
Or Pizza Hut.
That sounds like a marketing phrase aimed at children..
I don't care for it personally. For one, when it happens it's often unexpected.
Also, just get one little morsel of superheated juice on your lips, it's kind of like the oral equivalent of being hit by lightning or electrocuting yourself.
I have almost fallen out of a chair before, by surprising myself with an unexpected pop. It could have been bad.
But hey, to each their own pet peeves, but I rather much dislike it especially when it is intermittent or unexpected.

It sucks on a Wasp Nano, you know with the whole burning-coil-just-millimetres-from-your-lips thing. When it happens I literally want to punch myself in the face and my one and only focus becomes stopping it from ever happening again.

That was my first question on ECF, hence the user name "AttyPops"!
Yep. We used to dry burn them and then wash them out, remember? Any stray water in there would "pop" also.
