This REALLY confuses me! If it already taste burnt, wouldn't a dry BURN make them taste even more burnt??
Can you go over the steps of a dry burn again. pleeeeaze?
Sure. A lot of people complain about a burnt taste and a hard draw on their attys, especially the hotter burning 510. What happen is not all of the liquid vaporizes. It condenses and gets thicker and thicker and then dries onto the coil. If the dried on part isn't gotten rid of, it will build up thicker and thicker. Your atty will taste burnt unless it's practically flooded and have a hard draw. I've read a lot of threads with people complaining about a hard draw, burnt taste, and having to top of their 510s with 2 drops every other draw. They just have a dirty atty. Some people say they've never had a 510 atty die, they just get a burnt taste they can't get rid of so they toss 'em.
A REAL dry burn is just that - heating the atty while it's
dry so any deposits left on the coil will burn off.They will not smell good. If you try this with an atty that has any liquid in it you will just see vapor coming out. All you're doing is cooking the remaining liquid onto the coil. Not good.
Every day, or few days, rinse with very warm water (soak in coke first if it's really dirty,) blow out the excess water, and set in front of small high output fan overnight to dry completely. Put it on your manual batt with atty still dry, and heat it for 4-7 seconds. You should see no vapor. Might need to do a dry burn like this several times to get it good and clean (nothing coming off atty.) Drip atty with 3-4 drops and put on a fresh cart and vape. May need to top again after a couple draws - it takes a bit for a dry atty to get going. You may taste some funkiness from the burn at first, but that will be gone very quickly.
I've never blown a 510 atty doing this and sometimes I'll keep the button down and the coil glowing red for 15 seconds at a time. YMMV!
This is MY method for keeping my 510's tasting and vaping like new. Others have very different opinions about what works for them. Give it a try and let us know what you think works best for you.
