So i finally decided it was time for a dry burn, more so to post it than needing it.
I certainly wouldn't want to be dry burning a coil with a wick in it on this, because of the insulator.
All I did was limit my fire time while blowing the heat away from it, no other precautions were taken to protect the insulator.
The insulator does show ever the slightest signs of heat but that may have come when I pulsed and squeezed the coils upon installation, I totally forgot about the insulator when I did this. I also was vaping it at 35 watts for a while just to see it's capability.
Regardless the insulator is still intact. My 2nd one has been shipped, FT packages (e-pac) have been taking only 5 - 6 days from acceptance.
By the way, the base of this atty is just a hair to big to fit into the juice well of a Hana Modz (clone)
