if your wick is wet you can do longer presses, or many more bursts of 10 seconds.
if its dry ,10 seconds one is fine, even after it starts to glow you need to repeat that a few times until the wick looks white again, if any residue is still left over you can brush it off like prescribed, you can also blow very hard into it.
when your done the coil might still be dark with a sheen of silver sometimes, just look at the wick are, if its back to white/grey its good to go.
Thanks again, it's nice to know that you can do this when the wick is wet. I might have been seeing the sheen you were talking about then. Good to know.
