So you're saying this IS safe to vape on?I see this after a few dry burn/new wick cycles. Easy to remove extra oxide on outside of coil with q-tip. Extra oxide inside the coil is wiped away when threading new wick (and then trimmed off). Works for me -- YMMV.
Okay I cleaned it sort of well, it looks better than before and the Orange is mostly off. I just want to make sure it's okay to vape off of. Like, will it hurt me in anyway if it IS rust? And not just caked-on juice?It's Kanthal, right? Iron rusts and it's just iron oxide. Aluminum oxides and it's just aluminum oxide. To my knowledge it's not harmful -- though you don't want loose particles. Wiping and cleaning with a q-tip yields a shiny surface, so I think you're good to go. It's not like a mold or bacteria, it's just an oxide. I then hit with compressed air to remove any loose matter in the juice well, coils, etc.
If in doubt, recoil... Its cheap insurance.Okay I cleaned it sort of well, it looks better than before and the Orange is mostly off. I just want to make sure it's okay to vape off of. Like, will it hurt me in anyway if it IS rust? And not just caked-on juice?
