Why does strumming coils work

[6steelstrings]

I have been trying to understand the physics of this and it just does not compute in my head. I would like to say it is bogus but I have had coils that would not glow evenly or have hot spots and then strum them and voila the hot spots are gone and they glow evenly. But I think about it and I can't see how lightly strumming a coil can make any physical difference in the coil in any way what so ever.

Can someone help me make this make sense to me. What does strumming physically do to the coil to make it behave differently?

I can't help there never tried that myself but I am interested in what others have to say about it.

I'm not a rocket scientist, but here's my take on it
Why do we strum/scrape/tap our contact coils to make them glow evenly | E-Cigarette Forum

It equally disburses the tension...or at least thats my theory. All I know for sure, is if I build a contact coil (rarely, these days) I do strum and it does work.

It results in an internal vibration within the metal of the coil, that, if done properly, will induce a frequency precisely matching the radiofrequency of the primary Hydrogen line, which radiates throughout our universe, thereby placing your coil in sync with all that exists throughout time and space. Which has to improve your vape.

It's as good an explanation as any, and does work to get my coil heating evenly when I do it.

Haha. That's the same kinda thoughts I get in my head when I get my Nic/Caffeine balance juuust perfect. Or perhaps not.
