Good technique using one piece of cotton for both wicks , first time I’ve seen that trick

What device was this buddy really want to get in to the rebuild able game

I've bean told that diping hot coils in walter can make the collapse is this true

[@tmbnotes7939]

yes perfectly true ..... if you dip your hot coils into COLD water it can shock them and the coil can ping off ..... if you follow my step and use WARM WATER then its perfectly fine .....i have used this method for 8-9 years and never had a coil break ...... then again i also use QUALITY HAND MADE COILS "ie nothing cheap "...... i hope that answers your question 🤙

@chelseafan11 as someone who's worked as a machinist for 25+yrs with a metallurgical engineering degree, what you were told is correct. But with coils it really isn't an issue. It's called thermal shock. When you get them red hot and dip them into water(any temp) it hardens the metal and makes them very brittle and very hard. It also creates what is called metal fatigue and micro fractures, But because coils are not moving around, this really isn't of much concern. what is a concern is that shocking your coils and creating that metal fatigue creates degradation of the metal and very very small pieces of metal pops off of the coil and you'll get little gouges popping off of the wire. If you have a macro lense for your phone or camera you can see this. If you do dip your coils, you really want to wash them under running water and not just in a glass of water to wash away those microscopic pieces of metal so that you're not inhaling them. And make sure you anneal your coils afterwards. Meaning make sure you heat them back up after you've cleaned them off with water. Again when you heat them up and then put them in or run them under water it makes the metal very hard and brittle. Annealing them, heating them back up and letting them air cool, gets rid of that brittleness. It takes some of the hardness & brittleness away. It anneals the metal, making it softer and alot tougher. What I personally do to clean my coils is use a metal bristled brush, with bristles that are softer than the metal of my coils. Typically my coils are stainless or kanthal or a combo of both. I don't use nichrome as they're 60 to 90% nickel depending on what type of nichrome you're using, i.e. nichrome 80 is 80% nickel, nichrome 90 is 90% nickel and so on. Since nickel is toxic to humans I just don't use nichrome. We don't know how much metal our liquids leech out of the coils because noones done the testing for it. I've been vaping almost 9yrs and I use almost exclusively dual coil drippers with .07 to .09 builds all day everyday with 6mg liquids. Nickel like lead doesn't leave our bodies, once it's in its there 4ever, it just keeps building up and can lead to really severe health issues. There has been testing done and it does show trace amounts of heavy metals in our vapor. Very minute, very very small amounts! So it's more than likely not something that we need to worry about, BUT I personally would rather not have to worry about it, so I just don't use nickel/nichrome. I also get a metallic taste when I do, so I just use stainless or kanthal. I typically build fraliens, and if I were to use all stainless my builds would be like .04, so I typically use kanthal and stainless so that my builds are .08s. 30g ss frames, a mix of 10 ss and A1 .02 ribbon, and fuse it with 37, 38, 39, or 40g ss or A1. But again what I personally do and would recommend is to rinse cold coils under running water, then use a brush with a softer metal than your coil to clean off the majority of the crude, I've never had a coil get messed up by cleaning em with a brass bristled brush and I use very very fine fuse wire. Unless I was using a staggered staple fused clapton coil where there's a big gap under the fuse wire, but for any other coil it works just fine, just brush side to side, not front to back. Then I rinse the coils under running water, while the coils are cold. Then heat up the coils to evaporate the water and loosen the rest of the crude on the coils. Then brush it off after the coils have cooled. Once the coils are room temp again, run them under water again, then heat them up to evaporate the water again. Typically they're clean by this point. There's no shocking the coils, because everything is done while the coils are room temp, except after you run them under water you heat up the coils to evaporate the water, and that boiling water helps loosen and remove all the gunk/crude on em, and you can then easily just brush what's left off, you can even use a toothbrush of a plastic bristled brush because coils should be room temp. And you use the water to rinse it away and any microscopic pieces of metal as well. Typically I'll replace my coils after about 6 months, but I have a few sets that have lasted me well over a year. Unless you plan on using a set over 6 months you really don't need to worry how you clean them. You can do it however you want. Dipping em, strumming em, does not REALLY matter. Just make sure you run them under running water to rinse the tiny pieces of metal off the coil so you're not inhaling them. But if you're keeping them for longer than 6months, I would highly recommend that you don't run them under water while they're hot, because it does cause micro fractures in your wire and 1000s of tiny pieces of metal do pop off your coils. Anyway I'll end my book here lol. Stay well, warm, and be safe buddy.
