new flavor and coils.

[Dystonia Man]

I was wondering. Should you change your coils when you start using a new flavor?

Sorry I put it in the wrong thread. Instead of coil builds.

It depends on the flavor and strength of flavour of the two consecutive juices. Sometimes one will go nicely over the other, sometimes not.

You can put in a new coil some folks save their old coils in baggies to use later with the flavor before, or if your juice profiles are similar you may not need to change the coil. Some people also rinse it in between flavors.

I'm assuming you are talking prebuilt coils, with a coil that's built, you can just dry burn (as long as it's not titanium or nickel) and rewick.

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving. I'm using built coils stainless steel. But my mod only uses nickel and titanium for temperature control are there safety issues or health issues with those two metals. And I was wondering why you can't dry burn those 2. Do you mean checking for an even glow and checking for hotspots. Sorry for all the questions. But also is too much dry burning not a good idea?

when Nickel reaches glowing temps it off-gasses very nasty compounds, which is why its not recommended to dry burn. Titanium when heated can ignite, and is not easy to put out in large quantities. also with titanium you can get oxides of titanium which are not friendly to the human body, so those are the main reasons you don't want to dry burn them.

with temp control, you will keep the wire temps below the threshold of the reactions noted above, and if kept low enough you also keep from burning the cotton. another benefit from temp control is keeping the juice below the threshold of aldehydes production.

as to your second question, dry burning is generally checking for hotspots when the coil is first wound, and burning off the crud on subsequent cotton changes on coils you have built. doing so for short bursts should not cause any negative effects, though i have found that after about a month or so my kanthal coils start getting gross looking so i change them. there is some concern regarding dryburning nichrome too much due to possible hexavalent chromium vapor production, but the temps required for that are pretty high (welding temps).

sorry for the long explanation, i hope this answers your questions and allays your fears.

I 1/3 fill my tank with the new juice and swish it around then vape it down to almost nothing. Unless they are drastically different. Sometimes rarely you'll find a pleasant mix. Id recomend a second tank or rda. And a back up mod. Then you won't have to worry about it.

So if you're not supposed to dry burn nickel or titanium how do you check it for hot spots. Or clean them.

i run mine under very hot tap water and give a good shake to get most of the water off, then i use a nylon bristle ar-15 cleaning brush (only used on atties and run through the dishwasher for cleaning) to gently knock the crud off, and sometimes use a "scrubbing" pipe cleaner that has the little metal wires sticking out to get the stubborn crud out of the center of the coil. if its really gunked up, i soak the deck in reeeeeaaaaaly cheap vodka (tvarski 100 proof) for an hour to soften and dissolve the gunk. if its too much for all that, i recoil and rewick.
