so, it does clean, just like the advertised video on the RBA Supplies website?
...and how many times will it do that....like does it go bad once it start fraying, or will it develope bad taste eventually?
how long have you been using XC116? and how long have you been using the same re-cleaned strand?
I know lots of questions .... thank you
Can't answer the questions fully, since I only received a 3 inch sample from a contest, and I screwed up my first coil build and had to rebuild.
Yes, it cleans up with a torch just like the videos. Just make certain to use the hottest part; cooler flames will turn it black until the hottest part turns it white (I don't have a torch, and have been using a lighter). The old flavor burns away completely. I'm on the 2nd or 3rd week on this coil build now.
There is some minute ceramic dust, but boiling apparently removes/reduces that. I didn't boil, but have rinsed until hot water a few times and that helped reduce the dust, which is easily blown away as well.
The flavor is exceptional and much improved over standard silica. If I had the cash, which I currently do not, I would buy more since I don't like any of the cotton flavor I've tried. My budget is extremely tight. I am using a mini-RDA, so I don't need much and I think I have enough left from the 3 inches for 2 more builds. It is easy to work with because it is stiff and doesn't fray unlike silica or Ekowool.
If I had the extra cash, I would definitely invest in more.
