Burnt coil

[Anders Rasmussen]

I have a HW1 coil and it tastes burnt. I am not able to replace it until 4 days. Is there a way to clean it and make it good again.

No not really, once they're burnt that is usually it, time to replace.
You can try soaking it overnight in PGA or vodka then allow it to evaporate / dry before using.
Or, drop it in boiling water for about 10 - 15 minutes blow out excess best you can then allow it to dry, or use hair dryer to dry it.
Never worked for me, but some folks have some luck with it.

Have you tried turning the down the power?

Given your other thread I expect you're a bit new to this. You might already be familiar with priming, but in case you aren't here's some advice for when you get a new coil: You need to prime a coil the first time you use it. Drop a little juice into the holes in the coil. Then, after you put the tank together and fill it with juice, let it sit for 5 - 15 minutes before you use it. When you start vaping, begin with your power turned down and gradually bring it up to where you like it.

Priming makes sure juice has seeped through the wick to the coil before you use it. Without priming you'll end up heating a dry coil and burning the wick.

Good luck!

You can try cleaning it, certainly. I'm afraid that you may not get stellar results or lengthy coil life, but if you can't get another coil for 4 days, you can't. You can soak it overnight in something like everclear than rinse thoroughly and dry. I don't know how your coils will fare, every coil is a bit different.

I used to clean my Nautilus 2 coils in a similar fashion but stopped the practice, due to the fact that coil life was unpredictable and I wasn't really sure how clean they were getting.

In your situation it would probably be preferable to vaping a burnt coil, really not advised. Once you've clean the coil, you should treat it like new and reprime it.

Also, IDK your location, but if you like the tank and it's working for you, when you can you might want to order a few boxes of coils, and your cheapest way to do that would most likely be a Chinese vendor, as far as price. You'd need enough coils to keep you going until you get in that "cycle."

If I have a drop in coil tank I like I tend to make sure that I have several boxes of backup coils, when/as I can afford to do so, etc.

Good luck,

Anna

If you have a local vape shop with friendly staff, it might be worth popping down there to get some "hands on" advice Given your last thread, I'm guessing your new to the vape game and being show exactly how to do something with someone able to give you answers to your questions the moment you think of them has no end of benefits.

As St Johns Ambulance has taught me, there are no stupid questions
