How to clean your premade coil heads?
- Thread starter ImYou

Soaking in alcohol.... Might help.. If they aren't too dirty you'll get a extra run or 2. But they are disposable coils, you know. Most of the time you end up tossing em...... My method for cleaning coil heads is to replace them with an RBA.

As Honda said soaking in Vokda and leaving to fully dry before use can do it but to be honest the pre mades have a shelf life on purpose to keep you buying them

I use unflavored moonshine, 140 proof or higher. Leave it in a bowl or something of it overnight, in the morning run it under some hot water but not super hot, dry 'em off real good and let 'em air dry for a good while, should be able to squeeze a little extra life outta 'em. Course that's alot of trouble for a disposable coil that I am usually too lazy and impatient to bother doing that, but meh.
Reminds me of when I was a painter. We used to buy $1 disposable rollers from the dollar store. They did the job they were supposed to. At the end of the day, we tossed them out and used a fresh one the next day. Reason is... In man hours it cost more to clean it than buy a new one, not to mention the paint thinner, and the cleaned roller never did work like it was supposed to on the 2nd day. So.. buy new coils and drink the moonshine. LOL. Or switch to a rebuildable. It is easier to make a new coil than try to clean on old one. When I switched from a vape pen to rebuildable RBA (rebuildable coil head) I used Kanger toptank mini. It was very similar to my vape pen, but also I could get more fog and flavor as I wanted it.
I never bothered cleaning my replacement coils, when I was utilizing them. I rebuild them (wire and cotton) myself. There are plenty of " How to" videos on YouTube that show you, how it's done.
