Hey guys, I have a question about a noise my evic mini makes every morning
within the first few pulls. It makes a fairly loud crack in the first 1-3 pulls.
Its a pretty aggressive noise it makes, I would say it sounds like dropping a
quarter "maybe something bigger" at shoulder height and making it land flat
on a tile floor and trust me its no fun... scares the pants off me. After it does
its morning crack during the first few pulls it won't do it the rest of the day, and it
only does it the first few.
I don't think its dry, its almost seems to be a power surge or something. I
alternate everyday between 2 vtc4's. I have tried playing with the
menu for a few minutes before vaping to drain a little power out of it but that
didn't help. Strange that I have mostly used it in temp control with .5 ti
coils at 420 / 18W, I would think in TC it shouldn't ramp up like that.
-evic mini v2, tron tank, .5 Ti / 1.0 cl
-using high vg

It's simply your juice heating up on the coils for the first time. It's nothing to worry about.

I have 4 tanks in rotation, each of them do it for a minute or so when first attached.

I think it is caused by a small pocket of air between the coil and wicking material. When heated up, the air expands and escapes, causing that popping sound.

I couldn't think of a better way to describe the sound before when comparing it to a coin
landing flat on the floor, but a better description might be if you put a wooden ruler flat
on a table, pushed down on one side, pulled up on the other side way back and let it
slam back down on the table. Its a surprisingly loud pop, not the little pop-pop-fizzle-pop
with a little too much juice or something. I surprised theres anything left of the coil
after it happens.

Mine tend to do it every time I change the clearo, but not thereafter. Whether it's (in my case) a final bit of water boiling off the coils (I clean them after every use), or a bit of trapped air, it's certainly a bit startling!

It doesn't seem to be a problem, however.

I've learned to press the fire button before I vape first thing in the morning! That pop has almost given me a heart attack on a few occasions:p
