What if all atomizer coils were "teflon" coated? This material is used on non-stick cooking pans and skillets. Teflon is the Dupont brand name of the original coating, but there are many other coatings now that do the same thing. I was thinking that if coils were coated with this there would much less "build up" of any e-juice gunk over time. Thus the atomizers could be "flushed" with warm water and a final rinse of alcohol and work like new. This would make all different atomizers last until the coil element itself shut down (several months?). Just an idea.

If you burn it, it will release fluorocarbons, which can make you sick. Fluorocarbons are a wide range of molecules that can harm you by oxygen deprivation as carbon monoxide does, and can also trigger immune system response causing flu-like symptoms.

Not saying it will be burnt but I would be worried IMO

Great thought but after thinking on it for a bit, I believe that the teflon would still cake up over time. The juice caramelizes over time from the heat and that has to go somewhere. Unless you can remove the filler and dry burn the coils. Then you can flush out the residue carbonized caramel deposits after performing a dry burn.
