so you are saying that a dry burn will literally sometimes just knock it off?

I know replacing is super easy, and that is probably what I would do. I was just curious.

Yes, a dry burn will literally just knock it off. That is what I do with mine all the time all the time. The gunk turns to ash and falls off. I typically get it good and hot then dunk it in a shot glass full of water. That really blasts the gunk right off, I do it 2 or 3 times and then the mesh and the coil are perfectly clean again. I then fill it back up and vape as usual :)

so I am guessing with these types of attys, that you do not run the risk of killing the coil in the same way you can with a traditional coil atty? I have dry-burned and killed them before.

I know I can just replace it, which is what I will probably do, I am just fascinated by this method.

These coils are made from Kanthal which has a higher burn temp then nichrome and these are also a 32awg whereas most cartos are a 38awg which is thinner and has a higher resistance factor and burn out easier. Someone please correct me if I am wrong here.

I think you hit it spot on . About long do you get out of your wick and coil using this method?

Yep. Forget everything you know about atomizer performance. A SS wick & Kanthal coil just works. Like I said, I generally just replace my coil when it gets gunky, but I have dry burned when changing flavors with no issues. I can also say in the 2 months I've been using genisis atty's I've never had a coil pop from a dry burn. Zen's method of dry burn & refill will work perfectly.

OK, serious question.

Zen, you mentioned the ship dates for the marchers a while back as being around the 15th for the mini's and then a little later for the standards. Do you still think those dates will be somewhat accurate? I am also curious about the shipping method? I am guessing there will be a tracking number generated?

Marchers may start shipping ever so slightly sooner... Payment requests will go out when your PV is done and ready to ship... I Call this "stress management"!

He said delays shouldn't affect the marchers

Correct... but by that I mean March PVs... Z-attys still have some parts that are not in yet. The LVM parts are here... the connector parts are coming from a local machine shop.

I am on the Feb list and a question just came to me... When I fall in love with my Zenesis Standard and decide that I need more Zen gear, when will be the first possible date to order another Zenesis?

I should have PVs in stock again by the end of April.

zen mentioned yesterday in regards to thicker juices and gunking up the coils that he just dry burns and knocks off the gunk. Is there a preferred method to knocking off the gunk?

I mean is there a tool, or with your fingernail.

I crack it off with my fingers after a long dry burn if that ever happens.

Exactly. That is what I'm saying!

Has my Z-atty U shipped yet??

Just kidding Zen~, please don't ban me from the thread. :(

I can't ban you... I would fall into a deep and prolonged depression and be unable to function. I NEED you here to keep me sane.

did I miss the pictures of all the little Zen's all lined up waiting for completion....was really wanting to drool over it. :p

Do I look Croatian? That's how it's done in eastern Europe... not here!

Kanthal is amazing stuff!

I'm currently getting over a month... I recently spoke with somebody that has been using their Gen1Zen that was purchased at Vapercon, and they are STILL on the first coil and mesh I put on it when they purchased it... and they vape it daily.

Zen - Don't sweat us pre-pays! I've never prepaid for a PV but I feel like the Zenesis is well worth it.

I'm so sick of buying commercial atomizers I'm going crazy. I absolutely HATE commercial atomizers and I've tried almost all of them. They are the bain of vaping and the largest source of frustation for me in my life. LOL I have clean and dry burn daily to get a good vaping experience....it's really, really annoying, not to mention, expensive. March is just around the corner and I'm excited about my Zenesis!

That is fantastic. So a years worth ss pre rolled wick for 8 dollars and 50feet of kanthal wire for 5 dollars. So for about a buck a month i never have to buy expensive attys agin. HOW SWEET IT IS. Thanks Zen
