A little test with washing store bought coils

If anyone remembers a few years back (7-10) some people on YouTube had posted how they could wash their sub-ohm coils (store bought)
Well being bored and having a little clear liquid that comes in a mason jar 190 proof i tried to see what would happen so i washed the coil for 20 min, and let it dry




The coil was good and gunked up




At the end the coil really doesn’t look cleaner, not without brushing something over the coil mesh to knock the gunk off.
My precious in the jar has a amber tent now, Did not effect the taste of it, still burns going down and back up😀 i went ahead and juiced the coil up and tried it,
A little of the flavor came back and for how long, i dont know. Still playing with it. See what boredom does :rofl:

No moonshine was harmed

Taere are many who swear by their methods, but to date, I haven’t found any that work to my satisfaction. Every single method I’ve tried tastes like crap. If you can’t take it apart and replace the cotton, don’t even bother. One of the reasons I won’t buy a subohm that I can’t use an RBA on.

Thats funny, if i was to drink all this I’d be so far out there I’d be lost, I sure wouldn’t be able to see any fingers :sweat_smile: :upside_down_face:

We tried drinking bong water once to see what would happen. Other than retching for 30 seconds a mental note was made that this was a particularly dumb idea.

In the UK, we’d class it as the dangers of minesweeping : There’s always one who thinks he’s still too sober and tries the part empty cans before leaving - obviously, some will have cigarette buts in them.

It’s been years since I’ve had the pleasures of tasting a warm beer with a cigarette butt or two in it, now i have a bad taste in my mouth :triumph::rofl:
That should be a rite of passage

It’s generally part of of the 13-16 year-olds awakening here.

Reminds me when I went out clubbing as a teenager and drank from a friend’s cup, thinking it was coke. It was actually chew juice. I still have involuntary retches when I think about it, lol.

I’ve been washing and reusing FreeMax coils for years, single mesh coils. Probably got hundreds if not thousands of them, but I don’t let them get too gunked up like that tho…
