It's Spring! And new coil & wick day!

[HauntedMyst]

Been a slow day at work so I took the time to rebuild my atties while the sun shines through my window. In Chicago, we have 4 seasons: Summer, Fall, Winter and BiPolar. Apparently, the weather took it's Lithium and decided to be nice for once. I love new coil day, especially when the sun in shining! So it begs the question, do you prefer a brand spanking new coil or one that's been broken in for a few days?

There is no joy greater than the snap crackle pop of the first few hits on a shiny new coil!

Firing up a new coil(s) for the first time and getting the performance you expected, and "worked" for, is definitely more satisfying.

If dry burning is new then yes.

 

[Bunnykiller]

I prefer a broken in coil that tastes new

 

[HauntedMyst]

If dry burning is new then yes.

No, new is new. Dry burning is renewed.

 

[Woofer]

No, new is new. Dry burning is renewed.

But I hear there is nothing new under the sun.

Depends on my attachment. Most my RTAs I rebuild as little as possible, so I'll dry burn, rinse, dry burn, rinse, dry out, re-wick, refill and run along. About every 3months or until a coil pops I'll rebuild them on this schedule. My RDAs, Crius, and Griffin I'll recoil and rewick once a week, rewick at least once or twice during the week. I used to enjoy rebuilding myself, but working in a vape shop, by the end of the day I've rebuilt so many RDAs and tanks of customers, my mind and eyes are just burnt and can't focus well, so the rebuilds get sloppy after a while.

I like my coils well seasoned.

I'm over the thrill of replacing coils as often as I once did. That had to do more with coil building being new to me. Now as long as it works I'm good. Rewicking is all I pretty much do.

Brand new gleeming coil lots of anticipation and then you hit it for the first time and its such a let down .

until you get it to start to flavor up and then it gets better.

short answer new coils need to be run in before they get good .

I like coils once the aquire some flavor.

I re-wick often; and each time I do, I give the coils a quick dry burn, and brushing with a Dentek brush. I have coils that still look like new, after months of use.

In my mind replacing the coil each time it gets gunked up is like buying a new car each time the oil needs changing. This places me firmly in the clean and rewick camp.

Since I use Silica rope the only times I need to replace the wick is when I mutilate it to much to reinsert into a recently dry burned coil.

Seems ReadyXWick would be a better option for you as you can dry burn workout removing the wick & the stuff lasts forever.

I'm firmly in the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' camp. Have a couple of A6 atties, self modded to BF with dual 1.6mm/29awg Kanthal contact coils for 0.8ohms net, using KGD cotton, in service daily since end of May last year and hanging in there to make it a full year. 'bout once a week they get washed, dry-burned/quenched twice, dental brushed and re-wicked. Still get good performance and flavour. Time to re-wick when the aroma on the exhale gets better than the flavour on the inhale.
