Ive tried dry burning bvc coils and ended up tossing them after a day.
Instead i clean them every few days with Peroxide and Baking Soda.

Welcome to the forum!
Personally, I don't have a lot of confidence is stock coils and wicks. I don't dry burn anything I can't take apart and actually see the coil burning. I found posts on this thread worth pondering. (The link goes to where the discussion of BVCs starts)

Every two days, i sock them for 4 hours, then air dry them for 12 hours, after flushing the coil with hot water.
1/4 cup peroxide, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 table spoon of baking soda.

With the way those coils are constructed dry-burning is probably just going to make things worse unless it's very light buildup and you're cleaning thoroughly. Anytime you're dry-burning something wrapped in filler it's pushing it. It does what it says on the tin, but is kind of expensive to keep running.
No. Just NO.
Please don't dry burn a BVC.
The filler/wicking material burns if it is not soaked in e-liquid. Ask Phil Busardo.

I wouldn't dry burn a bvc, I too do not dry burn any coil that I can't see and remove wicking material prior to doing so.
Most of the time I vape nautilus bvc between 5v - 5.2v, occasionally range from 4.6v - 5.6v depending on flavor & airflow setting.
+1 on NOT dry burning the BVC's.
I have not yet tried this, but it's on my list of things to try!

I beg to differ- I searched for this exact thing when I first got some coils, and many sources (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boY0UuTggVc), and indeed Aspire themselves note that the filler is actually a ceramic material designed to withstand high temps- I've been dry burning my coils after giving them a good soak since I got them with no issues, if you google it you'll see that quite a few people have been unsure of this, but after about 10 drags on a 'dry-burned' coil the flavour goes back to as it should be
Does anyone have a good method of frying these primed before use? It takes mine forever to get saturated before I can run it at 12.6 watts like I normally do. Using it on the silo

I really dislike linking to Wikipedia, but I wanted to find a condensed overview: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic
Ceramic materials - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saying something is "Ceramic," isn't specific.
It's interesting if they could be dry-burned and then have the filler material thoroughly rinsed -- I'm dubious based on past experience. I've boiled cartomizers and such with some success, and it makes sense that it could help with these, and I'd be interested to hear about baking soda in general.
However, I was under the impression that the bvc heads were called called ceramic fibers (which exist) were actually a fiberglass paper, which has quite a few people nervous at the idea of bits of it somehow getting inhaled as when people have taken them apart they've seen the material crumble up in their hands. Theoretically if its full of liquid, applying intense heat would help it not to degrade or further turn into dust mites in your lungs, but I dunno, I would seriously avoid dry burning that material as we know it getting into your lungs is no beuno. I'm definitely interested in being educated more if things have changed since these conversations.

Take a look at what the fiber does when it's dry burned. (It starts about 14 minutes in.)

We don't know what that material is exactly, but per their lab report, now deleted from the website, it's fiberglass. Aspire doesn't claim anything anymore wrt to the material they use.

The filler crumbles and burns and it's wrapped around the heating coil. Please don't dry burn it.
And here's part 2 of the video you linked:

I nominate Ocelot as King of the thread, with Katya as duchess until his avatar eats hers.
I linked to a copy of their report in my post, but yeah, don't dry-burn this stuff. It isn't for me, and I don't think I could recommend them right now in good conscience; but I probably wouldn't lose sleep over it if well saturated. There's a reason why people working with sand and fiberglass particulates wear masks as there are very serious known risks.

If you recall, I found one of her later-deleted responses in a cache, (Post #177) but it's not very enlightening.
