Daily dry burn for cleaning atties.

[Robert]

I now only dry burn once a week or so- I haven't lost any- due to gunk- Now I dry burn at 6+ volts. This even brought one what I thought was dead atty back to life completely! I think the gunk is from the juice maybe? I only been using nhaler for a while now? JC gunked up the one I though was dead.

Hi Ournature, no I have only done this with penstyle atties, I have never had a BE112 so there could be a difference.

be112 is actually a penstyle atty like 801, m201, rn4072 and so on..
anyway i will try a shorter dry burn with a new be112 and see if i'll get less burnt taste..
thanks

That goes for the M400 series as well. Bad taste that will not go away after one dry burn

I feel like I keep trying to put out this fire in every thread that raises the topic, in hopes of saving some of you from potentially trashing your atomizers.

I've noticed this: with certain attys - depending on where they're from and how they're built, 'dry burning' can result in burning up the fiber glass wick underneath the mesh material. So be careful. I myself tried this on two different types of 801 atomizers (the BE112 and a Rocky Mountain Vapor 801), and both of them were rendered unusable after attempting a dry burn. No amount of cleaning after the fact would remedy this.

So, be careful. I myself am never doing it again, that's for sure. YMMV, of course. =]

Well perhaps the dry burn is only any good for RN4072 and 801 penstyles.

Works fine on jantys penstyle atties

Started daily dry burning a 'in use' atty as per surbitonPete. From getting about a week out of them my in use one lasted about two weeks. I have been dry burning my new atty daily for about a week now and have no issues. The thing is hitting like the day I first put power to it.

After my last vape of the day I pull off the atty and blow it out until it's clean, then use a bit of tissue to gently soak up any excess fluid from inside. I wipe off the outside and screw it back into the battery. I then hit the switch until the bridge glows red for a split second, power off and blow out what's left.

Seems to be working great!

Thanks surbitonPete

Phew that's good to hear Qlike.... a lot of posters are saying the dry burn isn't any good, so I have found myself wondering if I should even have posted it in the first place. All I really know is that it's been working great for me.

Still working great for me. Same 2 801s for over 2 weeks now. These 801 attys came from rockymountainvapor.

Just lost my first one after 42 days of the dry burn. It just went cold between puffs. No drop in performance at all before it died.

I am very happy with this, peak performance until death for 6 weeks is fantastic.

I burned one of those off this morning (I think the Janty is a 302 style). Vapor production was falling off yesterday, so...

This morning I hit the switch and ran it for about 10 seconds at 5v. Forgot to blow it out first! Arghh!

Filled the ultrasonic cleaner with boiling distilled water, dropped in the atty and ran the cleaner for 6 minutes.

Pulled out the atty and slung the water out. This works better for me than blowing through it, besides, that rascal was hot! Set it upright on spacers so that air could rise up through the battery end to help dry the interior.

Well, the burn and wash helped a little... I think maybe I burnt on an extra layer of crust by not blowing it out first. I'm working on another 302 atty now and will try a "wet burn" after it comes out of the tank.
