Dry burn?

[Larry J]

I'm fairly new to vaping (three months) and have quit analogs entirely. I use the Halo vv battery and their Trition tanks and am very happy with my equipment. No desire at all to use anything else at this point. I've seen a number of people who recommend a dry pre-burn on new coils to help prevent a burnt taste later. It seems like this would just make the burnt taste show up more quickly. Can someone please explain?

I build my own coils using cotton now, BUT when I used factory built coils I never dry burned. Factory coils use silica as the wicking material and silica won't burn. Cotton on the otherhand will go up in flames.

Never heard of a dry pre burn. Are you sure you're not talking about people burning any oil off when they have just built a coil before wicking it?

Silica wicks don't burn so its not going to hurt anything. It will just burn off any contaminants that may be on the wick.
Yea, just don't do it with cotton lol.

What you are hearing about doing Dry Burn on a New Wick/Coil is ONLY for Silica Wicks.

And the Purpose is to Remove any Oils or Contaminants that may be on Either the Silica Wick, the Coil Wire, or Both.

Think of it as doing a Very, Very, Very Small Self-Cleaning Oven cycle.

some people dry burn there new coils before wicking them.dry burn also refers to dry burning your coil and wick assemble after cleaning it by using short 2-3 second burst to bake off as much remaining encrusted juice as possible.

I see no real need to dry burn a wick on a new coil. Your only affecting the area that the wick is in contact with the coil. Beside most manufactures with a good name more than like has already processed the wick one way or another to make sure it dosent have anything bad in it.

When I used silica to rebuild with I would use a torch and go over what wick I was going to use to remove the particles from it and it seemed to keep it from fraying out as bad when putting it through the coil.

Triton tanks are the same as a Kanger T2 with slightly different threading to fit on the Halo 808/ego threading. Any Kanger T2 will work on a Triton Battery, but a Triton tank will not work on a regular 510/ego threaded battery. However, the replacement heads are completely the same. So you can use any T2 replacement head on the Triton tank.

The Triton/T2 has a silica wick (and a silica top/flavor wick). I have never pre-burned them, but since slica doesn't burn, it probably would not hurt anything. You can "pop" a coil when dry burning, meaning you burn thru it much like when a old style light bulb burns out. For that reason, I wouldn't do it, but it's your call. I've only "popped a couple of coils over the last year or so. I do routinely dry burn them when they gunk up, but that's another matter.
