can someone explain this "dry burn" you guys are talking about??? I don't understand what that is.
Hey MadKat, be glad to.
After a few fills you'll prolly notice the juice getting darker and the taste getting not as fresh
as when you first filled it.
It's at this point I'll vape the e-liq down to .2-.5ml and dump it, either into a bottle or down the drain, your choice.
I'll often save it and dilute it way down with unflavoured vg/pg, add flavouring and "re-use" it.
Once it's empty I rinse it out a few times and dry everything off, shake it out some more and re-dry.
Making sure the contacts are dry it gets attached to a PV or battery. I like the Provari or vari-volt
'cause I gradually increase the voltage as I go.
With the drip tip off, on low voltage(4 or so) begin firing the SD for 3 sec. intervals while gently blowing
any vapour away from the top.
I wait 10-15 secs. between firings. After 3 or 4 cycles I'll up the voltage a couple notches to say 4.4v.
Cycle 3 or 4 more times, only 3 or 4 seconds per each firing.
Increase voltage again and repeat.
At some point as you are gently blowing, you'll notice vapour coming off the coil.
Continue the process(3 sec. burn followed by 10-15sec. rest) until the coil is
glowing red and the vapour is gone.
At any time in this process you notice the coil is very red or a burnt smell
stop dryburning....you're firing it too long or you're done.
Refill to the top of the wicks, do a couple dry pulls then short primer puffs
and your SD should be running good as new.
Time firing and resting are guidlines only but have worked well for me so far.
Lots of examples on utube to watch also if you like.
Someone else may do it differently but this works for me.
No popped coils, haven't trashed one SD yet.
Hope this works for you.
