Your opinion runs counter to the experience of all people that dry burn regularly.Dry burning is SOOO unhealthy for atomizers. And also, if you're doing a dry burn to get rid of a "burnt flavor" you're making it worse. It's counter productive. You'll basically be ensuring that your atomizer will permanently taste burnt. IMHO, no one should ever dry burn an atty for any reason whatsoever. Not trying to ruin your thread, OP, but it's true.
There are three reasons I can think of why someone would have a burnt tasting atomizer after doing dry burns...
1) They didn't wash out all the dried up juice that is clinging to the atomizer mesh prior to doing the dry burns
2) They didn't do enough dry burns to get all of the baked on gunk burnt off the atomizer coil and wicking
3) The didn't wash out of the atomizer coil afterwards all of the ash from burning off the baked on gunk
Here is the best thread I've seen to tell you how to do dry burns properly...
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/69834-my-atty-resurrection-method.html
That thread is full of posts from people who do dry burns and don't have any of the problems you refer to.
To be fair, that thread is nothing new or revolutionary.
The knowledge that dry burning works extemely well has been around a long time.
But that was the first thread I saw that put it all together in a series of easy to follow steps and covered all the bases.
