Washing Coils

[LordOdin]

I have read a few times about Vapers washing coils. When a coil is done i just bin them, i have never tried washing any. How do you wash them and what do you use as in Washing up liquid or is it more of a rinse in just water on it's own and finally is there any point to doing it, how long are they going to last after a wash. In all honesty i have never even thought to wash/rinse them. What's your thoughts ?/

Yup, I get months out coils, just dry burn them after taking the wicking out and give them a wee brush when they cool down, come back as good as new.

Dry burn & a little steel brush scrub, run under the tap then dry burn dry & you're good to go

@John R I meant as in stock coils, i rewick my own coils.

Welcome to the world of waste with stock coils, not entertained one for years.

I use them in Tanks that come with mods in kits, only use RDA on my Topside atm.

Ah sorry, I don't think there's an easy way to clean & rewick stock coils

Time to spread your wings my friend, you're on a vaping forum surrounded by fellow hobbyists, between us we can help you wick and build anything rebuildable, it's not really that hard, as you are no doubt discovering through your RDA tinkering. Save you a fortune on your monthly bills too.

Already building my own coils and don't see myself washing stock coils, it was just something i read on another site and wondered if many people actually did it.

There's been all sorts of madness over the years, like soaking in alcohol to clean etc but the take-home from that has always been, yes you might get a wee bit longer out them, but they never perform the same.
