Honestly check you ego make sure its real
Can you explain the process in which a fake ego will burn a coil and a real one will not with normal usage?
Bhswmc01: The coil is still salvageable, but it depends on how bad its burnt, and how much labor you want to put into it.
If you have the kind which you can take the tank off the unit, take it off and the rubber tip to expose the coil. clean it out under running water till the wicks are looking pretty clean. (May not ever look fully white, depending on the juice color)
Then begin a dry burn. The goal is to get the coils red and hot enough to turn the burnt gunk into "ash" which is then washed away on consecutive washes/dry burns. Dont hold the button over 5-6 seconds at a time, and it will drain your battery by the time it is cleaned, so be prepared with a second battery so you can vape on while the other is charging. Just keep burning until the gunk turns white/ashy and rinse
It is not a complex process, there is little risk of damaging anything or killing your battery, as your unit should have a 10 second cutoff. It can save you some money in the long run, but ultimately its up to you if you want to take the risk/labor for a less than 5 dollar replacement head.
I would recommend searching around for videos on dryburn/cleaning heads for your tanks if you want to do it, but are hesitant. I know i was nervous to do it my first few times, but i becomes a normal part of the process. You can not BURN the silica wick and it is not what is tasting burnt, its just burnt juice gunked up
