Sorry dumb question. Dry burning is that after you clean the coil n wick and activate the coil to check that It activates

i don't physically "clean" the coil; i take the wick out (cotton wool) and just pulse the coil a couple of times until its nicely glowing again.
and....there are no dumb questions

There are no dumb questions in this forum, we all have to learn from someplace. Dry burning is done when you want to clean your installed coil, after removing the wick. With the wick removed, pulse the coil and blow to get rid of gunk. You can also use an old toothbrush to lightly brush off the coil (wait for it to cool down). Some peeps use these tiny "bottle" brushes to brush the inside of the coil as well. Then install a new wick, juice up and go. Your vape should be as good as with a new coil. With silica, ekowool and ceramic wicks you need not remove the wick before dry burning as is the case with cotton.

Awesome thanks guys. Again, im on about 20 diff. Forums and this is the only forum where a questiom no matter how dumb is answered without any sarcasm, and the related topic is always stuck to.

Cool but so far the guys have been finding the best results with cotton?

I have used cotton for some time, but the difference in flavour for me is so minute that I have gone back to silica, which lasts much longer than cotton. My current silica wick is more than a week old and still working perfectly. I dry burn about once every second day on naturally extracted tobacco juices and less frequently on other juices. Cotton, however, is much easier to insert into a micro coil than silica. I use dental floss to pull through a doubled up 1 mm silica wick, which give me a 2 mm wick. Can post some pictures on how I do that if you are interested.
Yep def would like some pics. Im def toying woth the idea of building my first coil. I have this dumb idea in my head that the first one I build is ginna b perfect, cause Iv watched so many videos and how to's.
Yes yes I know the first my turn out to be a complete houses ass but thatd the pressure im putting on myself. It needs to at least be better than my standard iClear 30B. Which unfortunately iv killed one coil, so its reading 3.6ohms

Ok, here goes. Here I still used wire to pull through the wick, but later on found dental floss easier to use. Also, used 2 threads unravelled from 3 mm silica, but have since gotten 1 mm silica, which is somewhat easier. In this post is a good video on building micro coils: http://www.ecigssa.co.za/index.php?threads/i-caved.439/#post-5159
Awesome thanks Mathee. Kyk nou hierdie breg gat met sy Reo. If it is a Reo "embarrassed face"

That's my first Reo, yes, @The Golf. And, also yes, I'm very breg gat with my Reos! In the video linked above the guy uses a coil jig. Many peeps have copied it in wood or hard plastic, but a C clamp and 1.5 mm drill bit work just as well:Awesome thanks Mathee. Kyk nou hierdie breg gat met sy Reo. If it is a Reo "embarrassed face"

Unlikely, Tom. Make sure the cotton, when you install it, is not too tight. Test by dripping on one side of the wick only. If the juice wicks through to the other side, you should be ok. When installing the dry cotton should be able to move to and fro in the coil with just a little bit of friction. Remember, the wick will expand when wet.

so so...got it right, with more patience then yesterday. trick is...take some cotton wool and carefully pull off extra thickness by holding it in between 3 fingers, the gap in between is perfect. until you get to slightly less then the coil inner diameter. yesterday i rolled it too tight to make it fit...
The trick to cotton is to get the perfect density through the coil. If its too tight then it doesnt wick well. Too loose and it doesnt make enough contact to the coils surface area. I try to make it so that when I pull my wick through that it just needs a bit of tension to pull through and I only roll the end I am pulling through

next in the learning curve...just did my second mc, after 2 weeks it seemed that the taste and vapor production was somehow different. The last few days I believed it was the cotton, changed it a few times.
This time I managed a 1.5 ohm for my SVD...and, wow, it is a difference! I did not expect that much of a diff though. Or is it just in my head?

Should not be much of a difference between 1.3 (if I remember correctly that was the first one) and 1.5, Tom. I play between 0.75 and 0.95 and there is a slight difference, but not much. Little less vapour, little less flavour, little less throat hit. Or could be that your senses are more sensitive than mine. Are you doing it at the same Wattage as the 1.3 - if not, that could be much of the difference.
nope, i am happy with the outcome. 1.3 or 1.5...it is in the range i wanted to be, i guess even 1.7 would have been good enough. i am just surprised that a coil replacement made such a (positive!) difference. there is more of everything again, flavour, TH and fumes. that is why i asked if it is just imagination that it is better now?
tried something different for the 1st time tonight. wrapped a 8 wrap micro coil with 28g twisted kanthal metered out at .5 ohms producing plumes with a flat battery lol. only managed a couple of puffs when I saw my battery draining below 3.1 I put on charge. lots of flavor from this build

This is also know as a dual coil hey?
