If you get a whistling, high pitched sound, or similar sound when you inhale on the electronic cigarette, this is completely normal with a fresh cartridge and brand new unit and is the sound of the air being drawn in through the sides of the atomizer during inhalation.
Why does my vape make crackling and popping sounds?
When you vape, your e-liquid hits a very hot coil and turns it into a vapor. This reaction makes you hear a crackling noise. The more or less loud behavior of your vape depends on what kind of device and e-juice you use, or the intensity and strength of the puffs. So let’s clarify the factors that affect the crackling and popping noise:
Is it normal for my vape to make noises?
When you are new to vaping it can come as a surprise that your e-cig makes noises. These range from crackling, to popping to a whoosh sound. All of them are completely normal and you get used to them really quickly.
Why does my vape smell bad when I vape?
It is caused by your vape coil. Remember you are dealing with an electrical device that is doing several things at once as you vape. As you draw on your e-cig, e-liquid is pulled into your atomizer head. The atomizer head has a coil inside it that heats up as you press your button.
How to fix vape popping and spitting?
Simply use a wider drip tip or switch to an RTC chimney. So all the factors above may affect vape popping, crackling, and spitting. It is mostly related to the interaction of e-liquid and coil wire. The condensation vapor and extra droplets can cause dreadful loud noise and spitting issues.
Why does my vape make a gurgling noise?
If you notice a gurgling or spitting noise, it might mean that your power is too low. If you have an adjustable power vape and the wattage is too low , excess fluid can gather in your atomizer head. It isn’t being vaporised quickly enough and will flood your coil, causing a gurgling noise or spitting.
Why is my atomizer louder?
Your atomizer head can have different styles of coil inside. If the coil is mesh or has multiple coils, then there is more surface area to vapourise e-liquid. This means that you get more flavour and vapour from your vape juice. But it will also sound louder as you are vaping.
How does an e-cigarette work?
As you draw on your e-cig, e-liquid is pulled into your atomizer head. The atomizer head has a coil inside it that heats up as you press your button. This coil then vaporises your e-liquid into a vapour that you can inhale. As the e-liquid is vaporised it makes a slight popping or crackling sound.
What is the difference between a high and ultra vape tank?
So a vape tank from the high or ultra category, will have adjustable airflow that opens much wider, than a tank in the regular category. With all tanks, the airflow can be closed right down, but a tank in the regular category will have a much more restricted airflow, therefore less of a ‘whoosh’ sound.
What does it mean when you draw on an e-cigarette?
As you draw on your e-cig, you are pulling air into it. This air runs across the coil to move the vapour from your vape tank, to you. This is when you might hear a light ‘whoosh’. With most standard e-cigs, you won’t hear much of anything. But if you have a sub-ohm kit, with wide open airflow then it might be noticeable.
What does it mean when your atomizer is thinner?
A thinner e-liquid means the noise from your atomizer head might be slightly more noticeable as there isn’t the thickness there to dampen the sound. Even with a thicker e-liquid your atomizer head is doing the same job and making the same sounds, it is just buffered from your e-liquid.
What is the ratio of diluents in e-liquid?
The ratio of the diluents in your e-liquid determines how thick or thin your e-liquid is. If you have more of the diluent Propylene Glycol (PG), it is a thinner consistency so your e-liquid will be thinner. A higher concentration of Vegetable Glycerine (VG) in your e-liquid and it will be thicker.
Is it normal to hear a dry coil?
the sound is normal. get used to the sound; a dry coil sounds different from a flooded coil; so if you get used to the sound you learn to detect the diffence; comes in usefull when your vape is giving problems.
Can a factory coil tank be inverted?
With most of the factory coil tanks the tank can be inverted and the base unscrewed without spilling. the coil will be in the middle of the base, and it just unscrews from it. Compare it to one of the spares to look for a missing seal. Then reinstall it, firm but not overtight.
Why does my vape pop?
The action of heating liquid and turning it into vapor can cause the same reaction in your vape device. If the vape popping sound is excessive, it can ruin your enjoyment of vaping. It could also be a signal that’s something is wrong with your device or your liquid. Here are the primary reasons your vape pops excessively.
How to get e-liquid into your mouth?
Take Short Inhales. Taking a log, deep inhale can force e-liquid into the chamber and into your mouth. If you repeatedly have this problem, you’re probably pulling too hard. Let the coil and the wick heat the liquid. Inhale gently. You’ll take in pure vapor and have a more enjoyable, flavorful vape.
How to clean e juice from chimney?
Here, the solution is simple. Remove your drip tip. Roll up some tissue paper, insert it into the tank and soak up the excess water. Regular cleaning will help you avoid this problem.
How do you know if a coil is braided?
The Coil Is Twisted or Braided. You might like the flavor you get from a braided coil, but those braids can leave spaces in the coil. When you introduce e-liquid, it can seep through the braids or coils. You’ll know it’s happening by the hissing, popping sounds. If you braid the coil yourself, try tightening it.

Hey all I'm still pretty new to this - I'm happy wit my ego t except often when I inhale there is this annoying bubbling sound, I've dismantled it and there's no leaks, tried blowing thru the airhole - to no avail. It happened on my first cartomiser/clearomizer (not sure what it is its see thru with 2 wicks if that's relevant).

Sounds like liquid dripped down to the battery area where the cart screws in. Try cleaning?

Ego tanks are notoriously dodgy. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with your setup. If you draw too fast, it will pull liquid too rapidly into the atty and begin to flood it. Usually that's the gurgling you will hear. Hit slow and steady and the excess should vape off. If you're getting leaking around the base, that is another issue.

Yeah sounds like you're filling your cart too much. Dab it on a paper towel and look through the hole before you screw in. If you can see through, you're good to go. If you can't, dab it until the excess liquid comes out the bottom of the cart, look through the hole, and if it's all clear, you're good to go.
