Is this a sufficient way to "clean" the atty coils? I have my atty de wicked and de bridged so I wouldn't be burning the wick. If this is effective, how do you do it?
Thanks ;D

I've had mixed results with dry burns. Sometimes if the atty is really gunked up a dry burn is called for. If the coil takes more than a couple seconds to glow orange than a dry burn may be beneficial. However most of the time you can achieve the same results with an Everclear/PGA soak.
How old is the atty? I usually get about 6-8 weeks of useful life out of a 510. After that they are like a car with 300,000 miles... they work but not nearly as good as new.
I was dry burning because my attys weren't working so hot. I let it get orange for at least 5 seconds and did it multiple times. I'm curious if I ruined them. Maybe I'll learn how to clean them with alcohol. Any good references on how to do it?
Just get some Everclear or the highest proof vodka you can find. I take an old pill bottle and fill it with about 2 oz alcohol. Then I rinse my attys with water real good so you keep the alcohol clean as possible so I can reuse it later.
I soak them anywhere from an hour to a whole day depending how bad they are. Take them out, blow out as much of it as you can and let it dry. No need to rinse it because PGA evaporates very quick.
You don't have to worry about that, because the wick does not burn.
If you want to learn how to do dry burns properly, there is no better place to go than here...

The above method is the only method I have been using for the last seven months.
I haven't ever ruined an atomizer yet doing dry burns.
Others may have different opinions or experiences.

Yeah I'm not sure quite how a dry burn would ruin an atty. Nichrome and ceramic are built to handle high temps. Its basically the same concept as a self-cleaning oven.
Resurrection worked for me on a 801 that was dead as a doornail. Debridged, dewicked, soaked in water,
everclear, hydrogen peroxide, vinagar, rinse and repeat. It was dead anyway, but after the cleaning and
a couple, few dry burns, it's a great little dripper.
If ya got nothing to lose, a dry burn may be just the medicine your atty needs.

And from what I've heard, it is essential maintenance for kerosene (paraffin) heaters.
