How often should you dry burn?

[Lockhart320]

I use the Protank 2 with the standard Kanger coil heads. How often should I dry burn? What is a good indicator that I need to replace the atomizer?

When vapor production and taste start to dissipate is when a good cleaning and dry burn should be done.

When you get a constant burning taste even after a clean and dry burn, it is time to replace the atomizer.

Learn how to rebuild the PT2 heads and you will be able to not only save money, but have a better vaping experience IMO.
-P.S. it is very easy to rebuild the heads!

learn to rebuild heads. it's very easy once you do your first one. once you do a build you will understand why and how often to dry burn. rebuilt heads last longer and perform better.

I've found, too, that when I have to start cranking up the power to get the same vape, it's time to clean.

I'll usually at least clean my clearos every two or three fills. I'll pull off the air tube, discard the flavor wicks and examine the coil. If it looks "crusty", I'll dry burn. Otherwise, just replace the flavor wicks (I use cotton yarn) and post.

And I'll have to agree that recoiling is actually pretty easy.

I never dry burn anymore. I just rebuild. Seemed like when I was dry burning, the flavor still wasn't the same as a new or newly built coil.

Pro tank coil rebuilds are not that hard to do. I would also recommend picking up some wire and cotton balls. 30 gauge, 1/16 drill bit, 9/10 wraps, cotton, volt meter, and little bit of time. Better vape then stock.

Tons of vids on you tube.

I only dry burn when the coil is brand new to check for any potential shorts.

never ... I pre-torch the coil wire ... make the coil, wick it, vape it
