I love this method of cleaning out my attys and do it pretty often to keep them in working order and to clear flavors out when I'm dripping (After blowing the attys out, I dry burn until it stops smoking). However, I've burnt out my only 2 LR attys by dry burning for incredibly short periods of time. I mean just enough to get the coil orange once I burn off the juice, the atty stops working entirely. Why is this? Is there a way around it? Is there something I'm missing? Standard Resistance Atomizers are no problem and I keep them alive indefinitely this way, but the LRs end up in a grave long before their time just from burning off the juice - And that makes me sad.
510 Joye LR Attys on a Riva and/or Mega eGo (3.7 and 3.2 volts, respectively)
Dont have any experience with dry burning Joye brand atties... I use Cisco 1.5 306s and Ikenvape 306s... both brands really dont mind the dry burn. Could be the brand... but it could be the fact that its a 510 and you cant see the whole coil. While you might see an orange glow, there may be a white-hot glow on the coil where you cant see... you want the hottest part of the coil only to be orange-hot
My current cleaning method:
Boiling H2O bath.
Syringe force boiling H2O through atty/carto.
PGA flush.
Dry.
Few short orange dry burns.
PGA rinse.
Dry.
I too have used this method with success on regular Joye 510s. Just got my first pair of LRs, and many members here say it's a bad idea to use the dry burn technique (I'm using stock eGo batts, listed as 3.7v). I haven't needed to clean them yet, but would love to know if it's worth the risk as I'll be using LRs exclusively from now on. I can see most of the coil, and can get it to a steady orange glow fairly easily so I'm tempted to give it a shot. Anyone have success with LRs?

Works with LRs too... but you have to follow the directions and not let it get too hot for too long... jog the button!
Egos are listed at 3.7v, but put out closer to 3.2
Tried it last night, seemed to work just fine and took me less than 10 minutes. Did two cycles (rinse, blow, burn x2) and it cleaned up nicely! Only thing - when I was done, I dropped about 5 drops of my 24mg PG Ry4 in there, waiting, dropped another 2, and hit it - burnt popcorn taste. Another 2 drops - burnt popcorn. It took me maybe 12 drops total to get rid of it. Is this normal? Or should I rinse it out after the last burn and let it dry manually?
I always let mine dry really well overnight (sitting on a fan if possible)... or, if Im in a hurry, 10 min in front of a blow dryer set on low works wonders.
A completely clean and dry 510 holds a lot of juice... 10-12 drops is normal to get it vaping again... a clean and dry 306 will take 7-8
What kind of 510 atomizers do you have?
I have never seen anyone suggest more than 5 or 6 drops for a clean, dry atomizer.
I may have seen once or twice someone say maybe 7 or 8 for an LR atomizer.
Mine are all Joyetech standard 510 atomizers and anything more than 5 drops will flood them.
And that is when they are completely clean and dry.
I did have some LR 510 atomizers and they took a lot more drops, but 10 or 12 drops?
Maybe your drops are miniscule due to whatever bottle you are using?

306 holds less juice and takes 7-8 depending on bottle size... glass dropper, for example, 8-9 drops... 10ml BWB bottle... 7 drops...
510s I've used are HV 510 from IKV, "SR" atty from puresmoker, standard joye 510...
5-6 drops on a 510... and then a soaked carto? Or 5-6 drops using the atty strictly for dripping?
I'm using Joye LR 510s...dropping from a standard 10ml bottle. From clean and dry 10 drops didn't seem to flood it at all. This does seem like a lot from what I've read, and with my standard 510s i usually only used 3-4 after a cleaning. But that still doesn't explain the burnt popcorn taste - I think I'll rinse and overnight dry next time instead of vaping right after a dry burn. Thanks for the help!
not sure... 3-4 drops might get you vaping, but wont fill the atty. When I drip, I fill all of the metal mesh and then it serves as a reservoir... cold pulls on the drip tip soak the coil/wick with juice from below and im ready to vape. "flooded" or "too much" to me is when it's coming out of the bottom (center post of either of the 2 air holes)
Flooded to me is when the vapor production is low and the flavor is off, usually accompanied by a bit of gurgling.
After a couple of drags the vapor production picks up and the flavor is back to normal.
But you're using LR atomizers, and I do remember when I used those briefly they sure held a lot more drops.
The weird thing was, no matter how many drops I put in, I never seemed to get more drags out.

That might be it... but ya know, I dont really use 510s anymore... I just know they hold more than 306... which is about 7 drops : )
My experience suggests otherwise. I was a 510 user for long before I was introduced to 306 atties. For me, 510s never required more than 5 drops to prime when new or after cleaning. Adding six drops resulted in gurgle (semi-flooding). OTOH, 306 atties require about 2 more drops for priming than 510s. That's why so many 510 users have problems when trying 306 atties because they prime them like 510s, not enough drops...
Yeh, guess it depends on the brand...
Anyway, best way to figure it out is to play around with it yourself.
I could be wrong... it happened before one time... : )
