Ps, have movement disorder, head and hands shake, does this get easier with time?
Bought some evods, some juice taste better in iclear 30 top coil, some tastes better in bottom coil. Was using dark juice purchased at b&m, southern comfort vapes, peppermint patty, 50/50, 6mg. The coil wasn't coming clean, decided to just dry burn and re wick the flavor wicks. Run around with head cut off (figuratively), can't find sharp scissors, etc.
But get down to it, keep coil (from the evod, originally read 2.7, replacements sent free were 2.5) in the evod base, pull out piece with pliers (hands can't do, tried very hard), remove flavor wicks. They are brown, and burning them with lighter doesn't clean them up (actually turn black). Take iclear 30 wicks (bad coil, never read), have the joy of figuring out the best way to cut the pieces and put in flavor slot. My dry burn of origianl coil is successful, and I make sure the grommet is still in paper towel.
Get the wicks in after much trial and error (would prefer to cut to size, but those bad boys like to unravel, maybe they need a little burning? Will revisit you tube). I have to sit down to get the core back in over the wicks. Go back, take a read, @2.8 (not bad). Because have cats, scoop up all loose silica pieces, wrap up in paper towel, throw away.
Put juice in evod, wet wick ends, let soak a bit while cleaning other tanks, wicks. Take a vape, it's going good. Starts to gurgle. I'm thinking, wicks not thick enough? (have you guessed the problem yet?). Pull out, and there is dripping from the bottom. Of course, this didn't start till after vaping. I'm wondering if I got the chimney, core in tight enough. Pull out the other evod coil I was cleaning.
Dayum. Threw the grommet away with the silica wicks. I've never thrown the grommet away. Bummer, even if I'd just c,earned it, would have had to toss it. I even hoard iclear 30 condoms, because some get stained. Oh well, at least I know I can do it. Have ordered some silica wick from discount vapors (don't want to use all my iclear 30's to rebuild protank coils).
Learned lessons, can do the rebuild, can do dry burn without killing coil, and DON'T LOSE THE DAMN PLASTIC PARTS!! Really wished could have enjoyed that wick. Later, will get some kanthal, and maybe sharper scissors?
