Washing Coils

[NT3N531]

Does washing coils with hot tap water sometime not make them work, I think this has happened to me twice in two different tank coils? I'm not doing it anymore I know that.

Pre built coils? From my experience you can't really wash them. RDA/RTA coils you dry burn, rinse and dry burn again.

I have rinsed coils then soak them in vodka and let them air dry completely before using them again. I don't do that much anymore since building my own coils, and then those can be dry burned as mentioned.

It has never happened to me. I really see no reason for a hot water rinse to damage anything in an atty. I don't dry them either. They have an element in there that dries them pretty quick when you put a bit of power on them . Don't do this if you have cotton or Rayon in the coil or you'll fry the wick.

OTOH, rinsing a coil isn't going to help you much unless you just want to speed up flavor changes. For cleaning you need to take the wick out, dry burn the coil and put in a new wick.

I used to rinse powerheads on my ol T3s.
Slight improvement for a tankfull.
Since you have a Limitless, dry burn/wick replacement,,more than sufficient..

I never wash coils at all. On my Kayfun, I remove the wick and dry burn a few times and then brush with a soft brush. Works great for me. That's with 1.8 ohm coils that I wrap.

I've been making my own coil for ages, at one time I took out some coils and tried cleaning by putting them in boiling water with detergent. I am talking about removing a carbon build up and the washing helped. I didn't reuse the coils There are also the sonic cleaners.
