Cleaning stainless steel coils

[AlphaDog]

I noticed that if i dry burn gunky ss316 coils (low wattage, not letting the coils go too red) it always ends up looking rusty. How do u all clean ss316?

Dry burn same as you. All coil oxidize on the surface what looks like rust is normally iron which is totally safe.

Though my SS coils go dark grey when I dry burn not red/rust, increase you wattage a bit and alternate dry burning with running water on the glowing coil.

that's just dried out juice gunk, flakes right off if you scrape the coil a bit.

Dry burn and immediately hold under running water while red hot will make it clean and shiny again.

Happens to me also. Dry burn they go red then a bit white/rusty looking when dry after the tap water. But then after a few times of doing the burn and then under water they go back to their normal colors.
