Hiya,
I just recently started getting into coil building and most recently purchased a Goblin Mini and a Billow V2. The goblin is great. Using a .3 ohm build with 24g Lightning Vapes wire. Excellent flavor, good clouds.
I installed the same 8-wrap build in my Billow V2 (after having boiled it sans o-rings and giving it a good brushing). I dry burned the coils and they didn't smell like anything. Wicked everything well (same as goblin, 2.5mm dia coils) but there was this burning taste. Wicks looked nice and juiced, good spacing from the coils. Even pulled it out to check and that sucker was moist moist moist. Took those coils off, built a new one, and then everything after when dry burning new coils tasted the same.
Is there a cleaning process for coil builders that I'm not aware of? Am I supposed to boil/wash the deck every time I switch an element out? I'm feeling like there's a fine layer of juice cooking on the posts giving it that horrific smell, but I just cleaned another time and the same thing is happening. No hot legs, nice and even burn on both ends, same spool and coil I used on my Goblin Mini. Any help would be appreciated. If I left something important out, please do let me know and I'll fill y'all in. Thanks!
