Carto coil burned orange when dry burning one, but not the other?

[SwerveCity]

I dry burned the heads/coils on my 2 cartos tonight. The Protank Mini II did NOT have the coils glow orange while pressing the battery button, but my EVOD coils turned that bright orange immediately. Both seem to be working just fine. Any reasons for this?

was either still wet with either water (if you rinsed it) or liquid or it was hidden under the rare gunk skeleton that looks like a coil but is really just a shell of gunk.

then again i dont know what resitance, voltage you are talking about

Not TOTALLY sure on the resistance...it came in a combo pack from MVS. I imagine it is around 2.2. The voltage I burned it on was 3.5

after a dry burn i like to clean the layer of ash off the coil with a paint brush. just make sure its cooled all the way down before you do it. then dry burn it again. then scrub it with the paint brush again. if you leave that layer of fine ash behind after a dry burn it might effect the taste of the vapor.

You can't guess regarding the resistance - you need to know. I put a coil in a PT today that started at 2.4 ohms and within two hours it actually climbed up to 5.6 ohms. I wouldn't expect that coil to glow at all at 3.5 volts. Something wrong with that one so I just tossed it aside and replaced it. It could be something like that, or any of the reasons vicflo mentioned too.

Hi

Just to clarify the terminology for others who might read this. You dry burned the heads of bottom-coil clearomizers. You can't dry burn a carto (cartomizer). A carto has polyfil wrapped around the coil and if you try to dry burn one it will die.

if its from MVS its the genuine kanger heads 1.8 or 2.4. if its 2.4ohm given the tolerances and probable volt drop when dry burning you are only giving it ~5w or less. should be good to dry burn on a fresh batt or slightly higher voltage if its a VV.
