I think you are NOT waiting for the pop before you let go.

Leave the wake first then let go..

Please don't do a 180 with out a grab, it's just not cool.

I think the grab makes them easier too. When landing 180s I always tell people to work up to it. Start off small and keep going bigger. Get your ollie 180s down then go for an inside-out ollie 180 then a small w2w then a big w2w. J_DOGG's observation is probably the problem. If you get torqued off the wake it will want to pull you around father where if you wait until you are in the air the line won't be as tight and it won't pull you as far.
