I have been using the Evod but to be honest I am getting tired of doing the dry burn and tasting the burnt junk for at least a half an hour after.
Easy fix: I never dry burn.

Every time I refill a tank, I switch out the head and put the one I removed into a dish of cheap vodka to soak for a while (other people use cheap pure grain alcohol or just regular water). They've lasted me a long time doing nothing but this to clean.

Katya, if I understand her correctly, cleans her heads by vaping plain VG.

I just took all of mine apart and did the dry burn and on one of them it looked like the coil was out of whack, not straight across like it should be. Is it broken, can it be repaired?
If it still heats up, it's not broken. Broken coils can be rebuilt if you want to, or you can simply replace them.


Re: Lily brand Sugar'N'Cream or Peaches'N'Cream unmercerized cotton yarn:
Do you buy this at Walmart?
It's available at almost every store that sells knitting and crochet supplies, including most craft stores, with the exception of the more high-end knit shops.

disposable e cigarette would be a not bad choice for beginners

I've already been there, I've moved on from them and exploring other options out there. I love my Evod and I also have the Protank 2 but it's the darn wicks that aggravate me!:facepalm:

I'm going out today to get the Peaches and Cream yarn. I'll give that a try and hopefully it will cure my "burnt blues" :laugh:

Thanks again everyone! I know I can always count on you to help me out!
