There is no wicking on the coil itself. Making the coil impossible to replace IMO, unless you really wanted to practice some fine electrical work.

Just FYI, there is most definitely wick in the coils of all of my eRoll atomizers -- in all 40 of the joyetech-branded ones and the 100 knock-offs I've got. It's especially obvious in the knock-offs because they are all really sloppy and not cut precisely.

Thanks for the responses. So when we dry burn to clean are we actually destroying this wick in the coil? Should we rewick this with ss mesh after dry burn or will the coil function properly without wicking material in it and just the ss mesh in the spike? Should the ss mesh from the spike touch the coil?

Sorry for all the questions but I've been getting inconsistent results using the mesh. Thanks for helping out a noob.

Hi Junkman! Im am such an eRoll fan still. It seems like my atties want to last forever and thats a good thing. I still dont vape the WTA e juice in the eRoll. Its too thick and wants to burn. Just doesnt vape as nice as the 70/30 pg / vg with the mesh wicks. I cant tell if im vaping a mesh wick or the Standard atty's wicks anymore!

I don't think it is a silica wick inside the coil. If it was wouldn't a dry burn would destroy it? I am thinking I might not want to know what kind of a fiber material that doesn't burn is in inside there.

The wick inside the atty coil is silica. Why would you think that dry burning would burn the wick?

I dry burn my coils frequently enough that it only takes a couple of two second pulses to clean them. After dry burning I rinse my attys again to get rid of any residual ash from dry burning and just let the attys air dry after that.

Because if I run a tank dry, the wick in the spike burns.

I think that is burnt juice on the wick rather than the wick itself being burnt. Use some long tweezers to hold the blackened wick and torch it with a lighter. The black stuff disappears and the wick turns white again.
