Vaporesso: How to clean ceramic cCell coils?

[Exodia]

Hey guys,

I was wondering how to go about cleaning the new cCell coils. Can't find any solid info except that it is apparently "self-cleaning". Can someone help me understand what that even means and if I need to replace the cotton next to the ceramic inside.

Thnx a bunch!

Hi and welcome. I don't know a thing about cCells, unfortunately.

I love my cCells The self cleaning is accomplished by dry burning the coil.

You put the coil head on your device and pulse the power ( on/off) in about 20 second intervals. This will burn off any crud that has built up on the coil. Once you are done, just blow the dry ash ( if there is any) out of the coil.

Just remember that once you do this, you need to treat it like a new coil and break it in as such. Meaning, prime plus start at lower wattage and move up.

Hope that helped.

Salem, I thought I saw PBusardo start them up unprimed? Do you get burnt hits when it's low or out of liquid?

Oh, yeah. You sure do. I have to laugh about that because when I first started with them, I was using an Atlantis 2 tank that only held 2 ml of juice. These coils love to drink the juice. I let it run dry not once but, multiple times. It was not pleasant at all.

But, here is the cool part. I filled the tank and kept right on vaping. There is no cotton to burn so the coil is not ruined. just rewet it and good as new. really love these coils.

I truly think that ceramic will be very popular in 2016. Atom is already out with ceramic coils for Aspire, Crown, Kanger, etc. The flavor is unmatched IMHO

What? High temp porous ceramic wicks...brilliant! With the right composition, its inert and non toxic. Many ceramics can withstand temps above 1500 F...which means you can burn out any gunk until the coil itself fails due to thermal fatigue--which could be weeks on end.

Never heard of these but I'll definitely research this...sounds good so far though.

There IS a bit of cotton wrapped around the outside of the coil (to help it wick, I think) but yeah, the main wicking material is ceramic. It is possible to burn them beyond repair (yes, I do know this from personal experience) but usually only when you're trying to use especially high VG juice as your initial juice.

Well, that changes things a bit (for me anyway) if that's the case...I prefer and use rather high VG juices. But the idea is a good one. As this appears to be a new concept, it may be if we wait awhile they'll come up with a few tweaks...I may give them a try anyway and perhaps adjust a few of my recipe ratios...

The cCells have been around since last November so not really new. They do have a thin layer of cotton that I have been told is to prevent leaks. I have had the dry, burnt hit many, many times and have been able to keep using mine. I know several others with the same results. Not to mention that the cleaning process requires dry burning so, not sure how much it would take to ruin one but feel certain that it could be done.

LeCig just released some ceramic cores for RDAs that look very promising.

The Ccell's are good with high VG, I use 80VG/20PG in a Aspire Triton 2 tank and no problem! The Kanthal .9 ohms are awesome, flavor is the best!! I am trying to use a the Ni200 in TC mode, still learning TC, and I have max VG in it right now. Havent burnt it yet! Still not getting the great flavor as the kanthals! but still trying.
Thanks salemgold for the cleaning info!

 

[salemgold]

Glad that I could help, Motorcity. I am using the kanthal ceramic coils.

 

[MotorcityVapeman]

Yes those are the best, that and the Triton2 .5 Clapton's, awesome flavor!!

Thx everyone for your feedback, I'm loving these coils! New shipment just arrived with an additional 4 tanks & 8 coils Can finally rotate flavors on the fly on some fresh coils

Was going to ask abt this very topic, but ya'll are on top of this. Now i can go clean my ceramic coils, instead of buying new ones! Thank you all for this great info!

Porous ceramic wicks have been around for a few years and are fantastic for flavor. The problem with the older ceramic wicks is that they were rods and we're brittle but these newer types looks promising
