I feel the same way. I had a old atty that i thought i would never be able to use because it had a metal burnt taste that would go away, and another atty that was performing really badly. I watched phee's videos and de wicked and debridged them and they work amazing now.
Just don't remove the atty wick. (510)

The fact that a dry burn is more likely to kill a debridged/dewicked atty makes no sense to me. But then again, I have noticed that there is a pattern according to which, most of the time, in my experience over 100 atties, when i dry burn LRs most (70%) of which didnt survive surgery were debridged. Mmmm, maybe just random... But, it sounds a tendency. The only possible explanation that makes sense is that the fibers down the brige and stuff maybe prevent the atty from getting as hot as in the case of a 'naked' one. If this is true, then, the difference in vaping performance could also be because of the 'higher-heating' factor. OTH, I also think a debridged atty will deliver a bit of a 'cleaner' taste to it, and more consistency in vaping quality throughout puffs. But, then again, it cannot wick but a single mini drop. So, very inconvenient. Great for trying flavors, though.
I dont know about asking PHi to stop posting and remove his posts. I mean, its kinda a religion to the guy... Haaaaa! But we could always ask him to over emphasize that is RISKY, and very INCONVENIENT since you will only be able to go for a tiny mini droppie.

PS: with faulty floody atties, many of my late 510s, it is the only way to go (debridging) since the coil is displaced from the center-hole which translates into constant leaking with 'runny' liquids. Though, the alternative I recommend is to move the metal mesh, and remove just the metal flick and fibers, and after replacing the heating element tight to the hole, just putting the metal mesh bridge back to position. This way youll get some wicking margin, around two drops at least.
But this should be labeled as an EMERGENCY mod. STOP KILLING ATTIES PHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

We should ban that guy PHI from our community for having converted many people to a religion which promises a new type of Dripping God with more vape-power and less hassle and ends up being a Broken God no-many-to-pay-my-rent type. Your religion is unreal PHI!!!!!!!!!!!
Huuuuuuuuuua.
Huuuuuuuuuua.
All my above posts are, of course, just a joke. As some of you mentioned 'debridging' is not for anyone, same as 'dripping' is not for anyone. Let each person choose their own Dripping Religion. Debrdiging has it ups and downsides, and even those will be subjectively interpreted. But then again, this guy Phee has a kinda super-mezmerizing-marketing which sounds irresisteble to any newbie out there in search for their Dripping God. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
What about starting a thread under this title 'Bridgeless Atty. Phee's Promise of a Perfect Dripping-land. The truth behind the myth...'
hee.
hee.
well i de-bridged one atty that had an awful burnt taste i could not get out no matter how many different cleaning methods i tried. so i de-wicked, de-bridged, mesh gone-and it still tastes burnt! another atty had a burnt taste, i removed the threads only with a toothpick, left in the bridge and mesh and it works great, no more burnt aftertaste.
i had one tonite that started getting that burnt taste, i decided to try blowing the juice out of it before i started with the madness of soaking, boiling, etc. guess what, it's fine now! in this case the juice was burnt, not the atty. there have probably been others in the past that i could have blown out instead of cleaning, but now i know to try that first. i'm new to this so i'm learning as i go.
btw, the one that is de-bridged and still has that burnt taste, it looks brown and gunky on the bottom where that white ceramic part with the slit is (i don't know how to describe it better). is there anything i can do to revive it for dripping? i do drip sometimes, not often.

Based on my observations and experiments with nichrome wire, you're on the right track with your assessment. The removal of the wick DOES increase the speed at which the coil heats up, most likely because there is more open air around the coil. (again, based on my tests, could be wrong)
It doesn't really seem to get any hotter, but it would make a dry burn more dangerous to the coil because it leaves less margin for error. That being said, I have dry burned my bridgeless attys successfully, but I've also popped one or two due to their age or perhaps my own impatience.

Its risky, especially if a begginer... but you could always go for a dry burn... most likely to work perfectly in your case, from the 'dirt' cirumstances you describe...

Totally agree...!
