Sizzling after rewicking subtank mini. Is this normal?

[tatty29]

I re wicked my 0.5 ohm coil as I wanted to change e liquid. First attempt was awfull and got dry hits. Realised I had used to much cotton and it was too tight so I re wicked again. I'm no longer getting the dry hits and getting good amount of vaper but there is a sizzling after each hit that lasts a couple of seconds. Is this normal?

It can be normal, due to the coil still having enough heat to vaporize the liquid. See "How it works" on http://www.steam-engine.org/coil.asp

To me that is the sign of a well built coil and wick!

Thanks guys. Since it was my first time rewicking I thought I'd check just to make sure I wasn't doing any thing wrong. I just never noticed it befor.

Yeah I find these with most sub ohm coils I use, with the exception of pure nickel ones I used on my rDNA40. I surmise its because most sub ohm Kanthal / Nichrome based coils use a larger gauge and as such retain heat longer than a "normal" coil as @Nuenerball suggests.

I just upgraded from a pretty basic set up so I'm still figuring things out. So much better then what I did have but makes me want to better what Iv got now to

I was using really bad cheap vape set ups and omg the difference between them and what iv got now but knowing things can be even better makes me wanna go there to but having a few problems with my sub tank so till I have figured that out completely I'm not goin to move on but I will in time

Think of where you're at with your vaping gear as a sneeze or two. Now pause and realize you're about to get "The sickness"
I have two Sub Tank Minis and run the RBAs exclusively. That being said, if you vape certain sweet vapes you can expect your coil to crust up every few days. Just pull the cotton, burn it off with pulses, and rewick. That's normal maintanence.

That's a good way to see it. I knew I was reeled in when I wanted better then what I got nw. I kept going back to the sigaretts on my old set ups for difrent reasons but in the last couple of weeks there's been no chance of that happening again n that's the way it will continue

Wait until you try a dripper. Most people end up preferring it. I resisted at first but now I have several . I love sitting at home with several bottles of juice or sitting at a vape shop and dripping various flavors. Those stupid clearomisers with the little disposable "vape condoms" they have make flavors all taste muted.
