Avocado keeps popping

Hey guys, I just bought an avocado tank and it was working very well at first. But since I started using it, it's starting to pop and it's just not smoke able right now. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Well, ...

May be you're running the coil/s too hot.
The coil material may be from inferior grade.

Let's start with dialing the wattage / heat down. Go down as low as the regulated mod will go. Ah, you've a mechanical mod? ...

Please help me, help you. I am not aware of all your particular variables. I have no choice but to ask questions in order to possibly offer a solution. This process is called troubleshooting. :)

I'm running it on a fuchai 200w. I had it up to 80 watts before, and it started popping. Then I put it down to 60 watts and it's still doing so. I don't think it's the coils because I just put them on.
 
I think I fixed it.. I believe the popping was from they juice being on the coils, and the juice was burning at such a high temperature it started popping

What are you using as wick for the coil. I ought to have suggested first hand to try rayon. As a buddy @inspects reminded me while helping someone else:

Yes, it's rayon, but you can pack in the coil fairly tight and still wicks well.

If your coil is packed up with wick, no air gets into the mix but what is needed. You may get the same from cotton. I know for myself rayon works, not tried cotton, happy with rayon. :)
