anyone dry burned one of these bad boys yet? I have a 1.5ohm and the coil looks a little baked..
Someone on one of the other threads talked about dry burning them, but since they recommend not dry burning them and they are $21 a pop I've resisted. I'm scraped some of the juice crust off mine with a dental pick and I am so tempted to dry burn, but they seem to still vape as well as ever with the crust after a good PGA soak and go in the ultrasonic cleaner.
my HH .357 is a wee bit of leaking >< im sure im not flooding it cause it does not sound like the attys flooded.
I just picked up one of the long barrel 1.5 ohm HH 357 to try out and I like it much better than the standard 1.5 ohm 357.You get all the same great flavor,throat hit, and vapor but with a little less heat and no juice spitting.I hope they plan to make these in higher ohms too.
good to hear although the short barrel does not give me any issues with juice spitting either
update:
after three weeks rotating a 1.5, 2.5 and a 3 ohm short barrels, the flavor is now weak, the draw is very tight. I only used light juices, 30% VG, cleaned them ultrasonic every 4 or 5 days....Broke them in as advertised and recommended.
So for me: I will not buy them anymore, for that amount of money to get this little time out of them is not worth it.
Back to rebuildables, IKV's en cheap standard 510's.
I did love the way they worked for two weeks, really great!!

My HH.357 1.5 ohm shorted my REO - and I specifically asked for one that would work with the REO but I sent it back and they wouldn't even replace it. 
I've been using a single HH .357 on a Reo Grand for two months with a wide variety of juices. I clean it every week or two.
It still works great!

Dry burning is not a good thing to do, especially on a 22 buck atty. It will clean your coil and work better for a little while but it will be short lived. It damages the atomizer coil and sometimes the wick. If ever using a dry burn it should only be a last ditch effort, if cleaning will not help and you plan on throwing it away anyway then I guess maybe dry burn to get a few more days of use but overall dry burning is not a permanent solution. this is my opinion along with many others.
ordered my 357 ong Sep 26th 2011. Cleaned it often. Now its really caked and its spiting at me vaper is still great if i dont flood it. Now its getting really touchy. BWB honey flue reo grand .3.7v since the 26th. I just ordered a new one. My lr306 will never last this long, they would last but still will not give this much vaper and flavor when they got caked like this one is.
If you can't revive your .357 with soaks, you might want to try a couple of other methods.
Give it an everclear or vodka bath, and then run a toothpick vigorously across the coils. Blow out, resoak, and repeat. See how that works out.
If nothing works to get your atty back to working condition, try a dry burn. At that point, you really have nothing to lose since you are at a point where you are no longer able to use the atty normally.
A dry burn is typically something I never recommend with a .357 because the chance of you frying it is pretty high....but if you can't use the atty anymore, at that point you have nothing to lose.
After you dry burn, blow it out, soak it, blow it out, and load it up!
Good luck!

Somebody mentioned using a highly drained battery for a dry-burn.... if it really is your last option, try that.
Edit: highly drained not HIGH drain...

I'm no expert, but I have done some mild dry burns on my HH .357 and it still works great.
I fire it until the coil just starts to glow orange and then cut the power and set it down for several minutes. Two or three cycles usually burns off any crud on the coils. I use an eGo battery, so that's approximately 3.2 to 3.4 volts. If it were as bad as the one posted by Steve414, I'd think it would need another PGA soak after a few dry burns and then blown out gently from the threaded end.

pretty sure the wick in my coil is charred =P but its still makin alot of vapor not so much on the flavor part. will have to try some of the above cleaning methods
