Cleaning

And please correct me if I am wrong. The way you know your coil is going bad is you start tasting a burnt taste? I don't know any other way.

Or you don't get the vapor/performance that it once did. Another way to tell is if the draw is getting tighter like trying to suck a very thick milkshake through a coffee stirrer.

Okay, I found out my problem. It wasn't due to the wicks needing a wash and rinse, but mainly due to the gunky buildup on the coils. I kept wracking my brain, trying to figure out what I could use to clean off the coils with. I ended up putting the iClear30 and other gunked up coils aside, but then last night I was watching a bunch of vape reviews on YouTube and came across an iClear30 review that showed you how to clean them. I ended up smacking my forehead and shouting "DUH!". In the video he does a 'dry burn', heating up the coils to burn out the gunky buildup, and then rinsing the residue. Smh...... I should've known to try that, but instead kept thinking "If only I had a tiny wire brush to clean the coil with.". lol

So now my problem is completely solved, and I recommend the 'dry burn' technique if your coils get too gunky and you haven't any ISO laying around, as I don't. Just be careful not to overheat the coils. Blow on them and give them a couple seconds rest between each 'dry burn'. You don't want to end up popping the coil.

I know many of the veterans or even rookies probably know this, but it is good info for the novice such as myself. I am moving up the ranks though.

I've been soaking mine in vodka seems to be working well for me.

Ok this going to sound weird but it seems to work pretty well,...first i just rinse my coils off (mostly evod style)...but for the tanks tips and even bottles I soak them with Polident it gets all the residue off and cleans up nicely....5min soak and its all good..rinse and air dry

G.U.M. Also make smoke small brushes. I dry burn wait for my coil to cool for a sec and brush them off. Those brushes get the outside and inside of my rda coils.

I don't know why I said smoke brushes. Just small brushes. They are for your teeth but you can find them with no flavor or antibacterial crap.
