1. Dry Burn – Is the act of firing an atomizer or cartomizer for a prolonged period of time at a high voltage setting to get the element red hot with the desire that you can burn off residue organic compounds and revive your atomizer.

ProVape engineering does not recommend that users dry burn their atomizers. During the dry burn process excess temperatures can be reached that will cause residual organic materials to reach decomposition temperatures. Once these materials reach cracking temperatures, a wide variety of potentially noxious chemicals may be released and can stay in the atomizer. It’s not a good idea to have these juices reach high temperatures. In addition, when the atomizer is heated to the point that it reaches these excess temperatures the probability that the atomizer will fail in a short or open mode significantly increases. This can put a lot of unnecessary electrical and thermal stress on the internal electronics of your device.

We view the dry burn process as an unnecessary risk for many reasons and do not recommend it.

I don't doubt your word vape360. Could you provide the source(s) for this --

Many, many vapors dry burn -- they need this info.

Thanks in advance.

Agreed.... so would you feel it to be OK to dry burn a carto using the ProVari? I don't even turn up the voltage -- don't want to trash the coil. Just at the voltage I normally vape at to dry it out. The wash / rinse "cycle" gets the majority of crud off the coil, just dry burning it to finish the cleaning process.
