Ok to dry burn Ego One atomisers?

[Jin_888]

Did a quick search and couldn't find a similar thread so ... is it okay to dry burn the Ego One atomisers?

Since I don't have the skill, materials or tools to take the atties completely apart to clean, rewick and recoil, I just take out the connection pin and either run hot water from a dispenser through the heads or boil them in bottled water. Then I blow out any excess moisture from the heads, reattach the pin, put them on the battery and do a few quick dry burns until the coil starts to glow.

I read somewhere from joyetech that the silica wicking material surrounding the coil is to allow dry burning without damaging the cotton wick But if the cotton is wrapped around the silica, wouldn't it burn anyway when the coil and silica starts to glow?

It doesn't taste burnt after I do a dry burn, but I do wonder if the cotton inside has been scorched from the heat...what do you think?

Hi Mods

Not sure if this thread is in the right place as the Ego One is neither VV or VW. If thread has been moved here, or if I posted in the wrong place to begin with, please could you move it? Not sure where it should go though...perhaps Mech Mods?

cheers

I asked Joytech UK Customer Service and received the following advice:

"I would not advise dry burning these atomizers as they can be damaged instantly with the high wattage output so definitely don't do this on these atomizers."

Guess I will just leave them to dry in a warm oven then.

Yeah, don't dry burn those coils. Basically the only coils you can dry burn are the ones with silica wick, like the ole kanger single coil / dual coil heads.

I thought the silica material that separates the coil from the cotton was to allow for dry burning, but maybe it only protects the cotton when the tank runs out of juice and produces a dry hit. Anyway better safe than sorry.
