Help cleaning clearomizers please!

Hey all! I have the clearomizers from Volt and just tried to clean them with dry burning for the first time... I watched this video:

How To Clean Your Clearomizer - YouTube

It all seemed pretty straightforward at first, but now I'm confused... I followed this procedure for a very long time but the element never glowed... I finally got worried that I would do it too much and burn it up or cause some other sort of damage. So I just went until I stopped hearing any crackling (I noticed her listening to the clearomizer and then she said, something like "Yeah, there's nothing left.") There WAS still "smoke" coming out and no glowing coming from the atomizer.

I just used one and it still feels difficult to draw and there isn't much vapor or flavor. I haven't tried one of the others yet so I'm not sure if this is a problem with my cleaning or with the clearomizer itself (none of the others were doing this before, just one.) Does anyone have any suggestions? And does anyone know for a fact that the ones from Volt do actually glow when they are finished?

Thanks!

If the coil was really dirty/gunked up it could take a good little bit to get it to glow. If its still smoking the coil is still dirty IMO. Also water in the wicks will mute flavor/vapor production for the first handfull of drags

I just cleaned one for the first time last night myself. Now I ran mine on my Twist at 4.8v (I think it's a ~2.8ohm clearomizer) and I couldn't get it to glow either. I just did 4 sec on, 15 sec off FOREVER until I stopped seeing vapor coming out of it.

When I first put it back on I got NO vape the first several pulls at 3.6v. I tried several more and got a few wisps. Then I cranked it up to 4.8v, took some heavy draws, and it finally came to life again.

Hopefully something in there helps.

burn it for up to 12 second bursts and you don't have to wait 15 secs in between just blow on it a little in between (WITH THE BUTTON OFF!) and hit it again after a couple seconds. It should take around 10 bursts at 3.6v area until it glows, once it glows hit for about 4 second bursts about 4 more times. Then you are done. Hit it with the hairdryer and refill it once it cools and wait 15 mins for it to wick well before you vape it.
