Dry burning fail?

[blirt9701]

I tried cleaning a kanger coil/wick by dry burning for the first time. I removed the post and flavor wick, rinsed the remainder of the unit in hot water, placed it on the battery, did intermittent burns until the coil burned red. I then put it back together and primed the wick. Now it just tastes like it's hitting dry...it tastes like it smelled then it was dry-burning. What am I doing wrong?

After you do the dry burn, rinse it again in hot water to get rid of the ash and junk from the dry burn. Then put it back together and prime the wick. Otherwise you'll get that nasty taste!

Thanks a bunch...I will certainly try that next time!

*** Also watch your cooling time between pulses***

Give things time to cool or you can slightly char the insulator - instant nasty taste.

A good rinse is always wise if the coil was gunked up.

I didn't bother with dry burning to long. I found out how easy it was to rebuild so I don't bother with it any more. I use to just save the used ones up and rebuild a bunch at one time. Good luck to you and happy vaping.

I have actually thought about rebuilding, or even just rewicking existing coils. Have just been a little nervous about it....maybe soon....

If you got the tools to check your work, it's no big deal. That would be a digital multi-meter.

... just in case you really want to rebuild. Not everyone does. Both ways are perfectly fine
