Fresh coil going black quickly..leading to not as tasty vape.

[donnah]

I also use on of those little dental brushes from Dollar General to gently run through the coil and brush it off as I rinse it (after dry burning). For me, rinsing is the key to a fresh tasting coil. I can tell a big difference between just dry burning and blowing on it and dry burning and rinsing it.

yes, I found out the hard way awhile back

seemed I was doing everything right, but still tasted the burnt taste

then was told or figured it out, it needed rinsed after burn

now I don't mess around -- dry burn / then soak in vodka / rinse / vape (like new)

That is a "why didn't I think of that" idea; just tried since I vape 100% VG and works perfectly!!

Do you rinse the coil with the rm2 attached?

Great posts here...

I would think if you remove wick, rinse coil, dry the conntector, then dry burn the water on the coil will also steam clean the coil. Then dry burn until the coil is silver then rinse again, rewick... you should get quite the life out of your coil. My last coil lasted me over a month before it just broke apart (too much heat cycles harden the metal and make it brittle).

My problem is that I constantly burn this damn cotton. I love it, I hate it.

I'd freak out if it wasn't so easy to rewick. But, I have some mesh I am trying after this trip.

Your biulds sound almost identical to mine. I dry-burn and replace my wick daily. If Ill I did was replace the wick, I'd eventually taste the black gunk.

My daily regimen:

1. Remove whatever atomizer I've got atop the REO...sip beer

2. Remove wick...sip beer

3. Rinse atomizer under warm water and dry off (don't forget to blow air through 510 connection to remove excess water)...sip beer

4. Reattach atomizer base to REO...sip beer

5. Dry-burn coil (3-5 second bursts of power to get it glowing nice and bright...probably about a dozen or so bursts) until it turns silver...sip beer

6. Insert new wick...sip beer

7. Replace cap...sip beer

8. Squonk enough to completely submerge wick and coil...let excess drain back into bottle...sip beer

9. Vape away...sip beer

Go easy on the sips till stage 8 - lest you forget sdtage 7 - leading to some oddlooking marks on the tip of your nose...

Shoot, I end up changing my coil almost everyday. This net honey tabacco I'm vaping is thick, heav and dark; it seems like less work to whip up a new coil than to try and clean the sucker. When it's $6 for 100ft of wire and even less for an almost lifetime supply of cotton I figure 'why the heck not?'. Shoot, I enjoy the fiddlin' any gosh darn way. (The content filter on ECF makes me work to not have a elevendy ....s in my posts and still convey my general conversational style)

Too umuch work Y'all. I just hit mine with a micro torch every week or so (using ekowool now) rinse torch and use. Easy fast no messing about. I get a good month on the ekowool dunno on the coils not had one die yet. I change after about a month.

i'm with the lazy crowd. Much easier to make new coils - in my case about once a week. I can do that faster than cleaning/torching/burning/vodka/rinse - what a performance.

I don't use cotton because that has to be re-wicked daily and it's just too much faffing about.

so you just kinda angle your micro torch (so not to burn device)

torch till happy - then rinse under sink water...

I think I like that

Exactly I've never heated up the base any more than a good couple chain capes it only take a few moments

I have a 2 year old helper and I assure you a quicky torch job is way easier its not easy to get the new coil in those little holes with a little bugger bumping your elbow
