Cleaning coils

[segev]

Hallo, good evening how are you.
I wish to know if someone is cleaning is coils as,recommended with cheap vodka, vinger, or ethanol?
I swe cupple of videos on you tube and read some reviews as well I did it with medical 70% alchol for two reasons
1- it's very difficult to find ethanol in Israel.
2- all the the vodkas even the best brands the alchol percent is around 50 everywhere I swe they reminded grian alchol 70% percent and above.
The gti 0.2 coil I cleaned came up as new for another round of vaping I know it's not 100% like a new one but something between 85-95 %.
The pnp tw-20 coil I clean and if you familiar with this coil is very small its very hard to see the cotton even with eye glass but you can tell there is a lot difference you can see by the colour of the alchol as,well works better in a plastic glass then a boil of glass.
I just priced it whit for 10 minutes of course and start vaping ad I always do with a new coil less W and going up to my 45-50w as usual.
I vape with sub hom tanks 70/30 Dtl I feel the coil is frash and so as the flavour but its feels like it become stronger in the kik or like in the nicotine I use 3 m"g always.
Do someone have any experience with this issue in the past or the present with pnp coils?
I will appreciate your knowledge and experience if there is,something different or better I can do?
Thank you very much

Us old timers never had a ton of luck cleaning pre-built coils, and some of us had some "interesting" experiences as we experimented with options (at the time).



Slightly different topic but one time, I ended up "spinning" juice all over my walls.

All in all, I wouldn't recommend it. You might be happier either buying more or building your own coils.

L.ol my walls didn't experience that yet I swe the videos you send me I tried once in my life with the fl-1 freemax coils and I left with out cotton now I tried with the gti coils it looks bren new either way I didn't mean to use it more then one time after it's clean I always prefer to buy new coils now I'm wondering why my I tank 2 is running out of e liquid relatively I'm not vape chasing I use 0.2 coils and I vape 40-50w I only use 3 m"g of nicotine I understand the higher nicotine the less e liquid running fast I have no licking what so ever in any tank I use and my e liquids are storage in a cool dark place but I vape with air flow full open somehow I feel the flavour better iven it says in a lot of places that the less air flow increases the flavour I try things and I explore the individual

0.2 ohms and 40-50 watts is definitely not tootle puffing. I use 0.15 ohms at 75 watts and run through 15-20 mls a day. I make my own juice, sp that isn't a significant cost. I'm sure it's your settings that is causing the juice consumption to be so high. Your setup doesn't care about the nicotine content in the juice. Assuming you vape the same amount, 5mg/ml will be used up the same as 50mg/ml.

I make my own juice as well and I always use the smart mode or tf1 mode I now well the settings on my devices it's not so complicated I do a lot of home work reading reviews and watching you tube channels that I'm subscribe to like vampire vape element vape and more I don't buy my mods in Israel I purchased them on ecigone so I have a month to be ready beside the fact most of the single battery mods settings are quite the same I never use tc mode bypass or rba never even tried eco mode.
I use only 5-5.5-6 m"l tanks including the valerian 3 and the smoke ftv 18 the geekvape z max and the m pro 2 of freemax I tried duel mash coils even the triple and the qutro in some brands and I always prefer single mash coils I don't see any different in flavour issue only more e liquid running away the biggest the coil the I tank 2 is new version of the I tank 1 that came with the target 100 I have one as well the big difference is a big air flow really big I'm sure it's one of the reasons I use 3 m"g because I suffer from copd and from the beginning I stop smoking I looked to fit my vaping to my needs and habits after cupple of pod mods it took me 3 months lern that even the drip tip effects the flavour the vapersoo armur Is not of that kit that come with kinks tanks or big coils still the gti with a littel upgrade I can tell by the flavour from the I tank 1 but for a sub hom tank he definitely likes to drink and have no licking problems I use with to different mods like 6-8 tanks a day some days less then that I don't take big puffs only sometimes the clouds are always big I vape mostly in my home not outdoor I never had any side effects only vaper toung but when it's happeneds I change the mod usually the freemax helps solving it out with the fl-1 coils and I drink a lot of watter before I start vaping so I never felt a dry mouth like people do I guss at the end of the road I will figure it out what makes the I tank 2 so thirsty many tanks

Never had much luck cleaning coils myself. The taste was always sub-sub-sub par after the clean. Not worth the effort for me.

Others are stating 'no luck cleaning *prebuilt* coils' and I agree. However, if you're willing to replace the wick and burn off the coil, your wire *can* last months.

In regard to the use of isopropyl alcohol...it works. I strongly suggest rinsing thoroughly, as isopropyl is a neurotoxic substance.

I should have said that my personal exception (to the bad taste issue) are the CLRs, which are INTENDED to be re-wicked and re-built (if one prefers). I get a TON of mileage out of each coil, simply by re-wicking them, which is ridiculously easy to do.

GREAT coils, at least for me.

99.9% of today's coil heads are vertical coil. I can't imagine it's possible to remove the cotton wick around the coil without damaging the coil or seriously messing it up, then trying to rewick that. But then I never tried it on a vertical coil head without completely rebuilding it with a new coil.

My opinion for folks trying to fiddle with coil head cleaning and rewicking: Invest $60-70 in and RTA and mod. So much easier since that's what a rebuildable is made for. If you don't like mods and tanks because the tank sticks up too far from the mod then get a side-by-side (SBS) mod.

I hear you there. I'm *sooooo* done with rebuilding non-rebuildable attys.

Yeah. Yesterday's RTAs were challenging but most of today's RTAs have coil leg trapping systems that make it easy to mount a coil assuming you don;t have dexterity issues.

Haha, I've thought about trying it. I use the Aspire BVC type coils. I've saved them all FOR YEARS. No amount of boiling, soaking, nothing has made them usable after. They're too dang tiny to mess with.

An old member here used to rebuild those all the time. I use a ton of them too but ZERO I interest in going what she went through. They last quite well on their own, and I have more than I'll ever probably use.

Still folks here that rebuild Protank coils. Not as hard as most other coils but still too fiddly for me. More power to 'em, But for $1/coil in a brick of 50 from chinese vendors, shipped price...yeah...I ain't rebuildin' 'nuttin'. That $1 coil lasts me about a month unless I mistakenly let the tank run dry. I spent hundreds a month and thousands a year on cigs.

I know I could rebuild the coils without issue, although there's one cliche, finding (I would not waste my time on the Aspire BVC 1.6 & 1.8ohm standard coils) the mesh is the problem. I've searched extensively. All leads led back to Aliexpress. There were lots of reviews, on numerous types of mesh, different ohm, etc. Nothing sold me on buying and trying.

I've several times thought about carefully dissecting the sub-ohms...to boil them out. I honestly think it could be done. The re-assmbly would be tedious, not having the legs protruding as if new.

Then the more I think about the task, I don't want to fark around with that crapola!! I want to e.n.j.o.y my time to vape.

I don't know if it will work with Aspire BVC coils, but WIREOPTIM sells mesh wire.

The mesh used is made specifically with a wire leg on each end. One leg passes through the center post, held to the post as one point of contact, isolated inside a piece of high-temp silicone.

The other leg is on the outside of the insulator, touching the exterior base of the coil body.

The coils look like a flag spanning two poles , if that makes easier sense.

Standard mesh used in a mesh RTA will not work.

Thank you though!!
