Welcome to ECF. My daughter and I just "graduated" to Kanger Evod setups after almost 2 years of using cigalikes. We had already stopped smoking 7-8 years ago. Started vaping a little over 2 years ago when stress and cravings were starting to make smoking again sound tempting. vaping has kept us from going back.
I do not dry burn - yet. I do, however, keep the used heads. I put them in a small amount of distilled water to soak. Since we have 3 cats and a dog, and my grandson has autism, I use a snack container with a well-fitting lid. When I have a few, I drain the dirty water and put the heads in an old coffee mug, sprinkle them with some baking soda, and pour some white vinegar into the cup. Once it stops foaming, make sure all the coils are covered with liquid. I let them stand a few hours to overnight, swirling them around once in a while. Then I take them out, one by one, and rinse thoroughly in running water as hot as I can stand it, making sure to run some water into the holes in the chimney and bottom. Blow excess water out, and drain on a couple of paper towels folded into quarters. I let them air dry, then put them into a small clean container with a lid, ready for use when I need them. Of course, I also thoroughly wash out the containers I use for soaking the heads.

Haven't tried that procedure, but sounds like it would work.
But I find a clean and dry burn much faster
Wiggle the chimney off, remove the loose flavor wicks, and rinse all under that same hot water. Let dry - or pat dry to not disturb the coil and wick. As long as the base is dry, put the coil head back in and pulse on a battery. Couple seconds at a time. If you're in a hurry and the main wick is still damp, you'll boil off the water first, then the gunk will start to burn off. Keep pulsing, couple seconds on, couple off, until no more smoke comes off and you can see all the turns of the coil. Rerinse and dry. Replace the flavor wicks with your preference of wick material, replace the chimney and cup, and you're done.
