Serendipity Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 can you clean nautilus coils? Like run it under water to get the flavor out. Everytime I switch flavors I have to switch the coil or the flavor won't taste right but the coil isn't burnt out.
gag8tor Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 You can run it under hot water but it takes a day or so to air dry. Soaking for a day or so in vodka helps as well but you still have to let it dry for a day.
gag8tor Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 You can dry burn the coils as well. Which is just pulse firing it for a couple of seconds a few times to burn off all the gunk that builds up on it. I usually don't do anything if the flavors are similar.
Earthling789 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 A vodka soak for overnight or longer usually works wonders for removing flavors. It doesn't remove 100% of some flavors, but it does a pretty good job! Air-dry for a day (longer if you can), and even if you can't wait, a little vodka being vaped is not a horrible taste
Bebop Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Rinsing and soaking in vodka is probably your best bet. I wouldn't dry burn the nautilus coil but that's just my opinion. Dry burning without re wicking is not a great result and the nautilus is not easy to re wick. But even rinsing will not get rid of the old build up on the coil. It will remove most of the old flavor. Rinsing and thoroughly drying should be an improvement but I wouldn't expect "like new" quality after that. For me, there nautilus is awesome with a fresh coil, but over time the flavor diminishes even though it still puts out good vapor and doesn't taste burnt. Mostly true with any coil, really.
gag8tor Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Right..... I've only ever dry burned the old T2's which are a breeze to re-wick.
Rixter Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I use Everclear PGA (pure grain alcohol). It's 95% alcohol (190 proof).

Mirage Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Worst...hangover....ever.I think I threw up in my mouth.lol I will never touch that stuff again. I think I was drunk for two days off that crap and we drink/have moonshine flowing around here like water. Lol
Rixter Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Yeah, Everclear is almost pure alcohol, as opposed to vodka's ~50% level. It evaporates out of the atties quickly and doesn't leave much (if any) taste behind.
Earthling789 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 As far as pure-grain alcohols go... Everclear is a great cleaning product... I just don't drink it.... Growing up in the mountains of KY, most of us had moonshine long before we ever tasted beer or wine, and Everclear is not even close to my grandfather's 'shine
