I have made/rewicked coils for Protank, but it is about the same thing.
erictho Super Member ECF Veteran
after dabbling a bit in rebuildable set ups although changing the wick boosts confidence i still would rather replace the whole she-bang after every 10mls rather than just replacing the cotton.

You can dry burn to clean most coils. Please do not do this in the subtank occ; you can melt the insulator really really easily. If the coil looks gunked up (visible crust all over it) replace it. Otherwise I'd leave it. Just don't dry burn. It will taste like monkey ...., and that whole tank of juice will taste like it too. Monkey ....
yuseffuhler Ultra Member
Thank you for the advice. I'm open to trying most flavors, but monkey .... is not among them.

I'm new to RBAs. Im using a Kangertech subtank, the regular sized one not the mini. How do I know when its time to change the cotton and coils. About how often do they last? How often do I change the coils? What happens to the coils over time that leads them to be changed? What changes happen to the cotton that leads it to be changed?
GeorgeF
As an RBA and RTA user I can say that with a diy coil you only have to really change the cotton regularly. Just slide the cotton out of the coil, dry burn the coil and rewick.

For me, the risk of something going wrong -- even with the best of plans and intentions -- isn't worth it. If I want a coil that's cleaner than just a dry burn, I just build a new coil. Wire is cheap. Hospital bills are not.
Mirage
I'm with Tam on this one. If a dry burn doesn't do the trick, just pull the coils and make new ones. Wire and cotton is to cheap to worry with...
