Snap crackle and pop!!

[Pam O]

I've just recoiled my new igo-l and I don't think it has gone well, it is crackling and popping like mad and shooting juice out of the mouthpiece!!....HELP!! what have I done wrong??

[Perpetua]

What ohms did the coil come out at Pam and what voltage are you vaping it at?

Sounds like a good coil, maybe just on too high a setting . . . .

Snap Crackle and Pop sounds good to me, it's a good sign, as long as it don't pop

its a bit disconcerting having explosions going off in my mouth! not exactly a relaxing vape plus I think im drinking more black kitten than I am vaping

Between 4 - 4.2volts I'd probably run that at Pam, have you a longer drip tip to use with it?

Nope though the one ive got isn't exactly short....I will persevere, thanks Perps

I have used my IGO-L for loads of juices and never encountered popping, crackle, sounds like you may need to re-wick and try again....might just be a bad re-wick/coil.

I've found that you tend to get the flying juice balls if your coil is wound a bit loose. It's caused by the juice boiling off the wire, a bit like droplets of water bouncing around on a hotplate on the stove. I'd try re-doing it a bit tighter.

Thanks for the help peeps.http://images.proboards.com/v5/images/bbcode/smiley.png
I have recoiled and taken a few strands from my 3mm wick to make it more like 2mm, I've also made the coil tighter. It is now reading 2.4 and behaving much better than my last attempt.

I'll go with oneday on that Pam........a loose coil............always keep your coil tight to your body.....my handy hint for the day......

Once you get it working nicely, you won't want to put it down, great little bit of kit. If I could find a RBA with a tank that is as easy and straightforward as the IGO, I would buy one in a flash
