Is there an image of the coil state itself for the above?
Further relevent piccies, this one has also snapped near the solder.
This was going to be round 2 for cleaning tests,
took three days to slowly (auto)smoke 15 ml of 'junk' liquid,
coil broke just at the finish, very frustrating !
The breakage sure looks like physical force (this black gunk is rock hard), as SunV found,
maybe wire weakening makes its more likely though?
No way this is going to clean up, without the help of the heat of the wire.
