Did your atty burn out or what? Just wanted to take it apart for the hell of it? It's always good to learn about the product you use in my opinion.

The coil had burned out after a month of heavy usage. Up to that point I hadn't pulled the needle plate. I pulled the plate on my other one tonight and the coil was really gunked up. Washed it out good and did some burns to get the gunk off. It's tasting better now, hopefully it will extend the life by keeping it clean.

I plan to try to rebuild the one I took apart. I hope to have some time to try next week.

Looks like these are going to need alot of cleaning to keep them going. I am vaping a little less than 3 ml's a day and after a couple of days I need to clean mine. Right now just boiling in tap water and then blowing out. Could be that is not enough cleaning.

Got a couple of lr attys coming. Maybe...just maybe with a hotter atty they just might not build up gunk and not need cleaning?

Thanks for the great pictures that will keep me from tearing mine apart from curiosity, and wait until one dies.
