Washing a coil?

I am one that just drops my used coils in a glass of warm water to soak for a couple of hours. Then I rinse and let them air dry thoroughly. I haven't gotten into dry burning the coils either. I don't like taking things apart and fiddling with them, but that's just me.
The ones that I soak/clean that way last quite a while. They only cost about $1, so I just replace them when they don't work well.

When I think of what I spent on 2 packs of cigarettes a day, replacing a $1 coil every once in a while is a huge bargain!

You and me both, not liking to fiddle with mechanical things -- jeez, I'm a GIRL, not a mechanic! However I really had to dry burn mine, they tasted awful and I couldn't afford just then to buy more, so I had to bite the bullet, and it's actually not difficult or scary at all. The hardest part about it is figuring out how much wicking to put on top of the little coil itself, so it a) doesn't leak all over the battery (with thin juice and wicks that don't fill the little slots on the sides), or b) give you nasty tasting dry hits (thick juice or too much wicking!). I use thin juice so I've had several battery floods trying to get this right. I finally got the money to order more coils, so I did, and finally got them! So I have 3 working tanks again, and also now a carto, and tomorrow, VAPEMAIL! a new Mini PT II, and a 5 pk of cartos! Also some of that lovely Virginia e-juice from MFS!!

But anyway.. the actual washing and dry burning is a piece of cake. Here's the video that Alisa1970 pointed me to, and it's great! (also for the OP, who wanted to know about dry burning)
