how do you dry burn a dual coil??

[Mykenike1423]

I've asked this before but didn't get a straight answer. When I go to dry burn a dual coil there's no flavor wick on top. Usually you remove the flavor wick before dry burning the single coils. Where's the flavor wick? Is it underneath the top coil? What do I do? Thank you.

I'm curious about this too. I have a Kanger Aerotank which does not have any flavor wicks. When I dry-burn it, I only see one coil glow. Where is the other one, and is it also getting a dry burn when I see the top coil get red?

Thanks, Rich

What tank is it ? I clear 16? 30? Bottom coil or top ?

The same way you would a single coil without the flavor wick.

1. You can't remove the flavor wick (if there is one) unless you rebuilt it.
2. coils are the same resistant between top and bottom coils. So when one is glowing, the other is too. And so if the one you can see is cleaned (what you see), then the other is also clean (what you can't see).

So just give it a few pulses (shot not long) and you are golden.

Cheers

I tried my first clean / dry burn on an Aerotank tonight, as the posts above say there is no flavor wick (or it's so tightly wound between the coils it can't be removed, I'm assuming the latter) so I took the coil apart and soaked it in vodka for ~10 mins, put it together and did a few bursts of dry burning and once I saw the coil glowing red and had no more sizzling and popping, refilled the tank and gave it a try...

I'm clearly no expert but I worry I must have done something wrong, since I thought I tasted a little burn flavor... discouraged, I took the old coil out and put a brand new one in the Aerotank and tried again... but it still tastes kind of burnt? So now I'm not sure whether I'm imagining it because I assume I did something wrong, or if I've somehow smoked the Aerotank itself, but that doesn't make sense to me...

Any advice? In case it's relevant I'm using an iTaste VV v3 set to around 3.9V while vaping, (set it to 4.2V for the dry burning and then back down) I'm also not terribly adept with juice flavors yet so I just don't know if this burning taste is in my head or what. Anything missing from my procedure above, experts?

You might've burned the silicone/rubber insulator, which is why a lot of people don't suggest dry burning them. If that's the case, it may go away after a while but your best bet would be to replace the insulator.

After watching Riptripper rebuilding a kanger coil I now see that the insulator might have been it, but I also now think I'd just not dried the wick fully. Today I got an order of new juice in so I cleaned my spare tank coil off without dry burning and got the same burned taste as the other night. In desperation I decided to try the coil I'd cleaned previously which had been sitting on my desk since, and voila: beautiful flavor again, no hint of burning.

Just posting this, which I now realize is advice already everywhere on the forum, in case another n00b like myself might benefit from another round.
