Hello,
Seen over the youtube all kind of discussions that you don't have to replace your pre-built coils that don't really give you any taste flavor anymore (used for 1 month or so ), all you have to do is clean them properly and they be like new and will start producing great flavor and clouds again.
Boil them in lemon juice or something like that.
Is that true? anyone have experience in this?
If yes, please share your experience and give us advices.
That would save lots of money for those who don't make own builds.

There is no magic potion for cleaning used coils.
If there were, then those of us do use rebuildables would use it on our rebuildables instead of changing wick and dryburning.

You can try vodka, or I have heard denture cleaner works well.

Of course someone who vapes unflavored or lightly flavored liquids is going to find his coils clean better than somebody who vapes Grampa's CranChocHoneyNut

I'd be careful dryburning. If you over burn the coils you will damage the positive insulator. I do more scraping and use the dryburn to harden up the coil cooties, then scrape them off. There is no need to get your coil(s) red hot for anymore than a fraction of a second, you do more damage than good.

An important aspect of atomizer design.

Time for more porcelain insulator setups.
