you'll have to excuse me if someone has already figured this out, but thought i'd share anyways. haven't been on the forums in a while.
it's these little things i'm talking about:
everyone has long said that these coils can't be dry burned (or at least properly). let the gnat light the way...
now its true that its not as easy as say the old single coil burners. you can't take these things apart easily and hope to get them put back together in working order. i've found a way to get them apart and potentially put them back together but its honestly not worth the trouble. its a pain in the ...! and expect to break a few. i like the easy solutions. plus i love these coils, they really are great little things!
of course many of us have tried to dry burn atomizers without taking them apart and exposing the coil(s) to air. it doesn't work so well. they get very hot, you need higher voltage to do the job and it doesn't burn everything off as well. opening them up has always been the way to go.
so i started to ask myself last night: what is the difference between opening it up for a dry burn and leaving it closed? its the airflow of course.
the solution for these little things: give them some airflow!
for these coils i use an aerotank mini. wonderful little tank btw. when i tried dry burning an oil coil, i simply blew into the airhole gently while dry burning. you'd think you would burn your lips, but this is not so. because of the airflow going through it, the base only gets warm by the time its done. the burn goes much quicker as well - a lot like taking the top off the single coils!
so to dry burn do as normal. rinse the coil out, blow out all the excess water. put it in the base only and attach to your battery. here's a pic:
you can see the airhole here. now start your dry burn while gently blowing into that hole. keep your lips off the atomizer you goofs! you'll be surprised at how much garbage comes out that stack....rinse it off again to get any ash out and you're done!
some background: i use a small 650 mAh evod VV battery for dry burning just because its simple. i have others, but i like the quick on and off the evods have. normally i dry burn the coils (i use 1.5ohm for all) at 3.6V, same voltage i like to vape at. in this case 3.6V works well but i did find a benefit from increasing the voltage to 3.8V. not sure if that is because of how i'm dry burning or if it was because i have been experimenting with an old gunked up coil. i tried dry burning without any airflow on other coils and i had to use around 4.4V minimum and it didn't work well. not exactly desirable.
and yeah that coil was BADLY gunked up. not anymore
now its like new.
give it a try if you feel the urge, let me know how this method works for you. i believe i have just cracked this problem of not being able to dry burn these things.
