This is just a method how I dry burn my Aspire Nautilus Mini BVC coils to get the maxium life out of the coils. This is not the only method out there but its the one I like the most. Just thought I would share this for those who are interested. My method is this: 1.Wash coil in hot water. 2.Put just my base and coil on my MOD and do short 3 second burst at 3.7 Volts till the coil get red hot.4.wash one more time in hot water 5.put base and coil back on MOD do 3 second burst again at 3.7 Volts till there red hot. 6 assemble the tank and do about 9 primer puffs. I get no burn taste after that and the coils are like new. I have been using the original coils that came with it(over a month strong and still counting) I do this because as of right now coils are about $3.50 each I'm not rich so I like to make the coils last as long as possible.

This works well for my Aspire BDC heads if I first dry the heads in a low temp (225) oven after washing. This prevents moisture from vaporizing during dry-burning, which produces a cleaner result.

Also, after dry-burning, place a few drops of liquid directly into the head opening to saturate the wick (around which the coil is wound), then assemble and add liquid to the tank. This is SOP for most Aspire users anyway, but it's important after dry-burning to prevent burn spots. The resulting vapor is clean as a whistle.
