Stardust V2 users: How often do you clean and fully replace your coil heads?

[DjC4]

I have a Stardust V2 system. Just wondering what kind of cleaning and replacement practices people have found best. Thanks!

I am guessing you are talking about the 2.0. When I use them I run 3 or 4 tanks through, then i will take it apart, rinse the coil head under cold water and gently massage the wicks just to get the juice out, I then rinse all the other pieces off. I dry all the parts, especially the battery connector end. I take the coil head and pat the wicks dry by gently squeezing them with a paper towel (no pulling, you want to be gentle). Then I screw the coil head onto the base connection, take the silicone head off the coil head, attach to a battery. i keep it at fairly low voltage 3.7 or so....now I dry burn. Basically hold down the fire button for 3-5 seconds. This will burn off any excess water. Repeat this step (you are burning off any gunk baked on the coils) until you see the coil start to glow a nice uniformed orange. If the coils are really gunked up you may want to get the coil glowing a few times to get that off, you may see a white ash build up, if so take a small brush or blow the ash off.....I would also blow from the battery end to get any particulate off the coil as well. Now all you have to do is reassemble, fill and vape

This is the way I do it anyways

Thanks! great cleaning tips.

How often do you actually replace your coil heads with new ones?

If you clean it like mac says, they last a very long time. I had a vivi head going for 2 months, and it was still good. Only reason i took it off is because i wanted to try rewicking it myself.

Without cleaning them, it really depends on the juice. Some stuff will gunk up the coils much faster. It's really up to you to decide if it's not performing as well as it was.

For cleaning, I actually rinse it a second time to clean the ash off, and dry burn again to dry it off. That might be a waste of time though.
