Workarounds  in Atomizer Popping and Spitting

You can have an unpleasant experience when the atomizer of your e-cigarette goes popping and spitting. The worst thing could happen to you might get your tongue burn or swallow the e-liquid.  It is going to ruin your vaping experience and missing on a lot of excellent flavors and vapor as well. This could be frustrating. Well, it’s good news that it’s hard to avoid the case of atomizer popping and spitting. At least, you can save yourself from the unpleasant vaping experience. Here are those 11 tips which can help. 

Reduce your Airflow Setting 

You should not increase the wattage of your electronic cigarette if you prefer a cooler vape.  However, the issue persist where you need to take care of too much e-liquid reaching towards the coil, so the atomizer of e-cigarette will not go popping and spitting. You must reduce the airflow setting of the tank so that is can reduce the amount of e-liquid reaching to the coil. Puffing hard enough on your e-cigarette is not necessarily the solution for it. The difference in the air pressure will work for you in this case as well. 

Atomizer Quick Wicking 

When you are using rebuildable dripping atomizers, faster wicking is usually not the problem. The same goes for those sub-ohm tanks which come along with pre-built coils. Sometimes, wicks can work too much efficiently with rebuildable tank atomizers. If there will be too much of e-liquid towards the chamber, the coils will be started flooding which led to spitting and popping as well. You should also know that RTA has a chimney attached directly to the mouthpiece. Due to this, you might end up ruining your vaping experience as there is a high chance of having e-liquid on your tongue. 

There is a low-pressure area created in an RTA to a tank with a chimney exposed to the outer environment. It is crucial to use enough amount of cotton to fill those holes when you rebuild your RTA. If not, you will find e-liquid leaking into atomizer faster than those coils can get vaporize. You should be careful about not to apply the cotton so that it will block the holes. All you will end up with dry hits and burning spots while vaping. 

It is still very much essential to use the correct amount if you have an RDA. Too much of using a wick, the coil will be choked. On the other side, if you choose to use it less, it will create a lot of gaps between the coil and wick. Either way, your atomizer will be popping and spitting. In both cases of using an RDA or RTA, you should figure out a good rule of thumb here. Using more amount of cotton, it will be too much difficult to force it through the coil. That is the moment you will know that it stops to use more or less. 

Improper Sealing

If you are carrying an RTA or sub-ohm tank, more chances are there to discover a lot of threaded joints where O-rings are the only thing keeping e-liquid inside the tank. However, it is not the only thing they do. O-rings also keep e-liquid unreachable from the closure of the atomizers. You much check the tanks carefully to make sure that O-rings are placed correctly and not get stretched at all. You must reassemble and disassemble the tank to confirm that it should be not cross-threaded. The coil will be flooded if the e-liquids enters the atomizers enclosure. It will create a situation where popping and spitting of atomizer will be uncontrollable until you fix it. 

Checking whether it is chimney or narrow drip tip 

You do not inhale all the vapor when you use an e-cigarette, there is some amount of vapor which gets condensed through the chimney or the drip tip.  Every next moment, you usually find that droplets formed after the condensed vapor which gets stuck blocking the vapor flow.  The atomizer eventually pops and spits all the e-liquid into your mouth while vaping. You can prevent your atomizer popping and spitting where you just need to use a wide bore drip tip.

As you know, e-liquid can not be condensed, so can not form droplets in the bore of the drip tip where it drops back to the coil. If you are using a tank which has this narrow chimney, you might experience some issues, but it will be less common again. You will find that RTAs usually have wider chimneys, so switching to RTA could be an elimination of atomizer popping and spitting. 

Wattage Setting is Too Low

In the case you are boiling water as usual without focusing on what happens with the flame. By the time you realize the reaction because of closeness of the flame and the pot, the effect will be enormous. It is about balancing the level of the vaporizer and liquid in the pot to avoid clogging. Spitting may not be favorable at this point because all you will be doing in boiling is depleting contents of the pot. The main role of wattage is increasing speed and effectiveness of vaporizing. 

 Coil Twisted 

Twisted coils are the reason which causes popping of atomizer as well as spitting.  For instance you have an RBA, where you also have a braided coil, twist coil, Clapton coil or other elements in the category, it may be tricky to prevent the few instances of separation.  Most people opt for twisting of resistance wires and other elements to help create a big surface area. The bigger the area of a coil the more vapor it will generate. Unfortunately, however, twisted coil also includes multiple nooks. Also, the crannies that make it possible to collect e-liquids.

Workarounds  in Atomizer Popping and Spitting:

  • Vertical Coils

As you can see, the vertical coil builds whereas the atomizer is going to be popping and spitting e-liquid which is away from the drip tip would be.  Therefore, if you make your coils, vertical building coils is a simple way to reduce or get rid of all the liquid. The liquid does not go without a fight, it will spill over the inner surfaces.  

  • Drip Tip Angled

If you have been wondering what the manufacturers thought of coming up with the equipment, I am sure you are now familiar with the functionality and all its features. By now you should be having an idea of what happens on separation of an atomizer. Removing or decreasing the separation effect is dependent on length of the drip. It is better to consider keeping the liquid out of the atomizer than vaping it in a setup because it decreases the separation effect. 

  • Pipe Screen

The new designs of atomizers are making it more interesting and safe to use the equipment. Including a screen and one of the coils not only makes it a simple design and easy to use but also reduces the separation effect. In the event of extreme force and it splits, the screen bears all the pressure and force instead of letting it drip. 

Even if the tank on your atomizer did not come with a screen integrated, you can do it manually you can customize its design to match your interests. 

Recap 

It is possible to stop the spitting and popping whenever you have an atomizer popping and spitting hot e-liquid in your mouth, it removes a lot of the pleasure in the vaping experience.  If you build your atomizer coils, however, knowing what causes atomizer popping means that you can alter the facets of your build that create it.  If you are using a tank along with pre-built coils also love it besides occasional atomizer spitting, use one of the workarounds listed above.  Your atomizer may still spit, but it does not have to bother you.
