Brilliant! Thanks a mil everyon!
Lesson learned - coil wicks CAN be permantently burnt if you dry burn too long!!!
Not saying that it didnt burn (they are not suppose too) but you may have scortched the insulator which will also leave you with the burnt tatste.

IT WORKED IT WORKED! YAY!
It took me a while...didn't want to get it wrong. Right from the get go there was vapor. A tiny bit of residual burnt from the coil but it soon went away. Before putting in a new cotton wick on the other spare I have saved I will dry burn the coil just a bit to get any left over ash off.
THANKS EVERYONE!!! Now I will definitely get more life out of these coils...I'm not quite up to the whole wire it all myself yet, but I have plenty of spare cotton

I use Evod's and MT3's exclusively. Every weekend I clean my coils. I vape fruity sweet liquids, so they tend to gunk up often.
I do not take the coils apart. I leave everything intact, including the chimney and wicks. Well except for taking the tank and base off.
I wash the tanks and bases in hot water and then run them through the ultrasonic a few times.
I only wash them in vodka if I have had a strong flavor in them. Vodka seems to eat off the rubberized coating on them.
Rinse again, shake off the excess and then stand them up on a paper towel to dry overnight. The next day I lay them on their sides to finish drying.
I take the coils and run them in a kitchen strainer under hot hot water. I let them soak for a day in vodka after that.
Once that is done I rinse them again, several times, til I can not smell the vodka.
Then I run them through the ultrasonic a few times. Rinse again, them lay out to dry on a paper towel.
I do not dry burn them, as every time I have, I get that skunky burnt taste. Not sure if its just these coils, but haven't had that issue on others.
I've been running on the same coils for quite a while now. I toss them only when they finally stop working or are not working well after a few hours of use.
You can learn to rebuild them, but I don't bother with it. My hands don't work well, and my eyes are worse.

I've been doing this and it changed my whole world
ETA... not re-building coils yet but re-wicking with cotton. Just the flavor wick for now but it's so much better.
