Is dry burning bad for you?

[Tbear69672]

I have been reading about dry burning your coils and want some input on the subject. Some say it is not good to dry burn your coils and that it is better to just make spaced coils so you don't have to dry burn. I am still on the fence over it?????

You can dry burn coils, spaced or not. I usually change the coils once a month, just for the hell of it.

You're talking about homemade coils you wick, correct?.....not the screw in jobs?

I dry burn coils in my RDA's every time I re-wick, which is about every two days. Ni200 coils (which I do not use) are another story.

You're confusing firing a new unwicked build to ensure proper heating (of contact coils) with dry-burning which is for removing built up gunk and usually done when you rewick.
But I guess we generally use the same term for both.

Both are safe when done properly... keeping in mind to not overheat Titanium during either.

the only coils i will not suggest dry burning is Ti and Ni but done right you could
