Insulators on posts in Phoenix clone

[ZombieSlayer]

I have a Phoenix clone which has those white plastic insulators around the posts, and I've been having issues with them being too close to the eyes on the posts. I've already had one coil leg melt itself into one insulator before, and YUCK was that nasty! I was wondering if they serve any real purpose, or if I'd be okay to just yank them off of the posts so that I don't have to worry about it anymore. Thoughts? Ideas?

Yes that's fine to do just make sure the 2x posts don't touch the the inside wall of the atomizer as a short will happen.

EDIT

if you do remove them let me know how you removed them and if the posts are still stable thanks.

Just finished removing the insulators and installed a coil with a SS 400 mesh wick. It works like a charm, and no shorting. I will say that if you are careful, you can bend the posts just a slight bit away from the wall if it is touching. All I did was use a set of needle nose pliers to pull the insulators off of the posts. When you pull, you can twist the insulator a little to help the insulator slip off of the post. Nevertheless, use caution and avoid going caveman on the Phoenix. The end result was a cleaner tasting Phoenix with no hints of heated plastic taste in the vapor. Makes me wonder why they put the insulators on there in the first place, but I'd say it's worth removing them for flavor and health reasons. As for the stability of the posts, they are still solid as a rock after removing them, so no worries there. Hope this helps with people who are having issues with coils burning the insulators. vape on!

Thanks I think I will do the same but maybe take them off cut half size and place em back on.

You could always just pull them out, cut them in half, and reinsert them. that way you will still have the protection, but they won't be tall enough to touch the leads.
