I can pop my left wrist anytime I want it to just by wrapping my right hand around it and twist my left hand. Is my wrist broken?

and when I just add alot of force in my whole left arm, I can just pop it just by twisting my left hand without the help of the other hand

If your wrist is popping from normal motion it could indicate a number of conditions, so I would recommend you talk to your doctor. It doesn't necessarily mean that it is broken. If you had a recent trauma to the area, then an immediate evaluation should be done on the effected wrist. It is also possible that you have hyper mobility, a connective tissue condition, that allows a person to have an abnormal range of motion. This can cause joints to "pop" out their sockets and can lead to pain and arthritis.

But I don't feel any pain. When I add force, then it pops, but still no pain

My daughter is 14 and has hypermobility, which does allow her to do some really "weird" things... like bend her fingers literally backwards, etc.. Those are the things the doctor we went to looked at to determine if she was hyper mobile. Her friends think it is cool, because she do yoga moves no one else can even attempt. She went to a physical therapist, because she had dislocated some joints playing soccer and they taught her balance techniques to prevent permanent damage. Just be careful you don't that trick too much, because it could lead to long term joint issues.
