EGO AIO -- Cleaning Coils?

[the_souvenir]

Hi everybody,

I was wondering if anybody had any experience cleaning their coils with this model. I've read elsewhere of people boiling coils, etc., as a way of re-using them. Will this work with my coils? Any thoughts?

Thanks!

They make a rebuildable head for the AIO (cubis).
This one is sold out, but they do exist:
Joyetech Cubis Aio BF RBA - Joyetech Coils - Joyetech - Tanks & Coils

As for the pre-made, you can run a q-tip in there to try and clean it a little, but most pre-made with cotton coils aren't really reuseable or cleanable.

Perfect, thanks. I thought that it was maybe too narrow a question to fetch me an answer, so I appreciate you stopping by.

I clean mine all the time sometimes soak in hot water sometimes vodka then water soak depending on how gunked up they are one thing is clean them before you get a burnt taste I clean mine as soon as taste changes or vape amount goes down.

Interesting. Do you find it prolongs the life of the coil? How long do yours usually last? How hot is the water you soak it in? Boiling? Thanks for the reply.

Some power heads can be dissassembled & rebuilt.
Boiling etc is more trouble than it's worth..

Usually its just gunked up cotton not so much the coil. Before I got into rebuilding I just ran them under the tap a min or so. put your finger over the end and blow out as much as you can through other end. Wrap in paper towel, few more blows then store them away and use next coil. You can do that to each 3 or 4 times before it's nasty. If you don't want to rebuild the BF RBA they are still a good option because you can just remove cotton, dry burn coil, run it under water, dry burn again and they look brand new for couple months easy. Just replace the cotton.

Have done it both ways. As to how long they last not sure have some that are a year old. In a year of vaping have only tossed about 4 or 5 coils

Yeah I agree, I disagree with the other statements made above. Most prebuilt coils are all reuseable and cleanable... even rebuildable. Cleaning and how long it prolongs life all depends on juice and watts. If your running thick sweet juices, dark juices or high watts they'll get 3 or 4 extra uses each but if you use not to sweet clear juices at normal or low watts they'll last till the wire burns out really. As long as the wick don't burn or get burnt sweetner in it its good for ages.
