Cleaning / Dry burning wrong or too often?

[scratchy]

I always clean and dry burn my EVOD's and T3's after each fill. I have a lot of them so once ive used about 8, i throw them all into a bowl, turn on the hot water in my sink, and leave the hot water running into the bowl for about 15 mins. Then I dry off the wicks with paper towel, remove the center post and extra wicks from the head, then dry burn the coil. Am I doing it too often? Is my method wrong? Anyone have any better suggestions?

It depends on what type of e-liquid you vape. For most e-liquids, I would say that you're cleaning and dry burning too often. For most standard juices, I go around three fills before dry burning. For NETs, I dry burn after every fill since heavier ones gunk up the coils faster.

what would be the negative impact of cleaning and dryburning too often?

burnt taste, hope you are removing the silicone parts near it

I can't imagine you are getting much build up on the coil in one day. Dry burning is for removing caked on crud from the coil that doesn't simply rinse off. Can you still see the coil itself after rinsing? If you can, no need to dry burn. Incorrect/excessive dry burning will unnecessarily shorten the life of the head. In my experience cleaning very 3 or 4 days is more appropriate, and I vape dark/thick juice.

every 3 or 4 days with how much juice running through it during that time?

Tank or two a day. No golden rule for this. But daily's gonna chew through your heads too quickly with little return.

I dry burn every 6ml or so. I use 70%vg tho, so mine tend to gunk up a lil quicker.

Does anyone have any links around dry-burning and how it's done please? I always thought the heads were disposable.

The heads are disposable, cleanable (including dry burning) or rebuildable. Your choice.

so what if i just rinsed with hot water for a while everyday, and only did the dry burning every 5 or 6 days. would that be okay or does the hot water have a negative impact as well?
