Reusing Aspire BVC coils?

Hey guys and gals,

First of all I did NOT know that you could reuse these coils... :confused: I thought that once they started to taste bad you were supposed to throw them out and replace with a new one. If this is the case, why would you ever need more than 1 or 2 coils to cycle through? Am I missing something here? I would love to not be spending tons of money on coils if I'm going through these things every 5-6 days. Thanks!

Also what is your preferred method of cleaning a BVC coil?

Back when the majority was using boge 510 cartomizer's and carto tanks one method was to just drop the thing into a pot of boiling water for around a minute then let em dry out. Some people would soak them overnight in alchohol (rubbing type or vodka) and/or do a boil after. They were so cheap though the effort usually wasnt worth it.

You could give that a shot and see if it works for you. Your not going to make a disposable coil last forever no matter what you do, if you want coils truly on the cheap you will have get into rebuildables

EDIT: I just wanted to clarify. You do not want to dry burn a replacable BVC coil. you will *never* get the burnt filler taste out EVER

I have not tried this yet but am going to as soon as I get a fresh batch of coils.

Clean your coils, its cheap and easy. You should have 3 BVC coils that you will have to rotate every two days, or depends on how much juice you vape. Dont wait till they start to clog up.

Cleaning is easy and takes 5-10min.
What you will need Hydrogen Peroxide that you can find at CVS, buy big bottles.
Baking Soda that you can find in same Isle that sells liquid detergent, not in the baking goods isle.

Now get a cup that is microwave safe. Pour about 1/3 of cup of peroxide, add 1/3 of tea cup of baking soda, mix it with a tea spoon, then drop the coil in to the mixture. Place the cup in the the microwave and set it for 1min.

CAUTION: The cup and the liquid will be extremely hot!!

Take the cup out of the microwave and watch the bubbles clean your coil. Move the coil around in the cup once every minute with a spoon. Remove the coil from the cup with a spoon after 5 min and rinse it under cool water. Blow it out excess water and let the coil dry over night.

they last about 2 weeks. well for me anyways.i was thinking the same thing, you have to flood the coil soak the coils then let em sit when you first get them so the filler doesn't burn. so dry burning would be the worst idea ever.
