Gently. I use very short pulses and the coil barely glows. When the crud is dry and kind of flaky (a brief reference to myself), a small dental brush will get it off, rinse, pulse and re-wick.
Can You Explain Temp Control Vaping to an Old Fart ?

Yes, you can dry burn SS. Just don’t get it glowing white hot and light up the room. A nice orange is more than hot enough to clean things up while also checking it’s all lighting up nice and even from the middle.
Edit: so everyone answered that at about the same time. At least we all agreed. Would have been a bit rough if we didn’t

You can pulse it gently. Just not bright red or white. Enough to check for good glow, hot spot or cleaning is fine. Advanced vape Supply has a good ss wire tutorial on their site.
So yes I didn't read rest of thread before answering. Gonna be one of those days.
I dry burn SS316L, but I do it at 10W to 15W. I wet it under the sink tap to get off the loose crud and hit the fire button enough to get a red glow, then water again and a finger wipe. If it's smooth and shiny I wick it back up. If it's rough and dull I wind up a new coil. While it's apart anyway it's a good time to recoil if needed.
I've always used 28ga wire, but it's a little on the puny side for installing tight wicking. The legs bend easily. Yesterday I wound my first 26ga SS316L coil. It's sturdier and the only difference I've noticed is that it works better at 12W to 15W than my old 28ga wire that was optimal at 10W and 11W. It's definitely sturdier when I'm pulling a tight wick through.

I never put water to my coils any more. Wire brush works well for. One of my favorite gifts was the little wire brushes from SnapDragonNY. Water seems to shorten the life of my tri core fc coils.
What really worries me is I'll be mixing today.For me every day is pretty much like that.
My way is not only the best way but it is the only way. Nonie Nonie new new!
Don't listen to these guys!

My sequence is a rinse for getting the remaining liquid juice off after pulling the wick, shake it out, dry burn the cruddy stuck stuff off, then another rinse to get off any last loosened crap off. I’m still getting good coil life and I’m sticking to my story.
It’s whatever works best for you. I’ve tried using those little plastic brushes you can buy in place of dental floss, and they do come in handy on occasion, but I’m always worried about messing up up the wrap wire on the Clapton variant is use.
I continue to have good results with the little plastic brushes that come with electric razors. Mileage (as always). varies of course......My sequence is a rinse for getting the remaining liquid juice off after pulling the wick, shake it out, dry burn the cruddy stuck stuff off, then another rinse to get off any last loosened crap off.

Haven't used the plastic brushes, just metal. Working very well, and perfect glow after each cleaning.

Agreed, I water wash the wick and the coil, pull out the wick and toss it, then remove the coil and replace it if a short dry burn and wash doesn't make it shiny and smooth. Wire is cheap and a 100ft roll for $7 lasts me a year or two even though I unwind a whole turn, clip it off, and reinsert the new end in the same hole in the spool (2 or 3 inches of waste there). Winding and installing a single coil is a 2 or 3 minute side trip.

I brush my coils with a gossamer feather from a pegasus unicorn. If you use anything else you are doing it wrong.
OK. After a tank cleaning/ rewicking/ refill. and some fiddling with the settings (a popular theme with TC devices ?) I am locked in at 0.75 ohms, 15 watts and 420F.
When I vape, the display temp never comes close to 420. Even when I try to chain vape (which I normally don't) the display temp might reach low 300's.
Is this normal for a renaissance vaper ?

You may have to raise the wattage to get a higher temperature. It depends on the airflow. DTL lowers temps fast as opposed to MTL vapes. Your coil wire gauge can result in slow heating with 26ga and below. 28ga seems to be a good MTL vape wire gauge for faster heating. You might also play with raising the preheat setting if your mod supports it.
Shouldn't have cleaned the tank. Seems there is a bit more trial and error at lower wattage tc required. Once you find that sweet stop make use of your memory settings.
Bump up the wattage. Remember this is only going to be the initial wattage to get the coil up to the selected temp. As soon as it gets to the right temp the wattage will then be auto-adjusted to maintain that temp. Try 25-30 watts.
