When I start getting dry hits on my RTA can I simply replace the burnt cotton with some fresh cotton and keep the same coil?
Eskie ECF Guru Verified Member ECF Veteran
Yes. I remove my cotton (although I don't usually wait until I get dry hits, usually a reduction in flavor), dry burn the coil to get any gunk off of it, give it a quick rinse in water for any debris, allow to dry and rewick it.

When it no longer looks clean after a dry burn, or if it still tastes off after a burn and rewicking. Assuming a wick change once a week, maybe 3 or 4 weeks. If you use a dark juice with a lot of flavoring, it will likely be sooner. More gunk to deal with.

At what point would I be able to tell that a new coil is required? Surely I can't keep replacing cotton in the same coil for ever can I?

I change my cotton about every 5 days. I burn off my coil by heating it until it glows (not bright red). Then I rinse them off in some running water. I do it a few times until they are clean. Then I simply re-wick. My coils are made from "Kanthal A1" and "Nichrome 80" wires. If you are using TI wire then don't dry burn them.
