Apologies for jumping into the convo so late but if I may give my 2c:
Dry burning:
There are 2 methods depending on what type of coil you would like to dry burn
1) Evod coil with silica wick and no intention of replacing the wick:
- once you have removed the base from your tank remove the top stem/ chimney from the coil.
- once the chimney has been removed, remove the flavour wicks from the coil (these are the 2 pieces of silica wick sitting on top of the coil) and place them some place safe on a paper towel.
- Remove the coil from the base.
- Give the coil a good rinse under warm water.
- dry off the coil except for the wick, the wick needs to remain wet
- once the coil has been dried off screw it back into the base
- connect the base to your battery
- pulse the battery so that the coil burns and you will start to see some vapor, that is the water starting to vaporize from the wick. If need be add a drop of water to the wick and continue the process till the coil looks silver again.
- once the coil is silver again, dab dry the flavour wicks and place them back on top of the coil.
- replace the stem on top of the coil and flavour wicks
- place the base back into your tank and vape away.
-- The purpose of wetting the wicks with water is to prevent the silica wicks from burning.
2) If you are using an RBA
- Remove the wick from the coil
- place the atty onto your battery (if you had removed it to begin with).
- pulse the battery until the coil is glowing red.
- repeat the step above till the coil is silver in colour.
- let the coil cool off for a few seconds then replace the wick.
- juice up the wick and you can vape away.
Digital Mods (Digimods):
Digimods are fine to run an RBA, it really just depends on what wattage you enjoy vaping at. If you enjoy vaping at or below 11w then the MVP would be the perfect choice.
If you enjoy vaping at 15w or less but more than 11w then a device like the SVD would be your best bet.
If you prefer vaping between 15w and 20w then something like the Sigelei would better suit you.
Mechanical Mods (MechMods):
The only restriction to using a mechmod is the battery that is used in the device. There is no governance on the mechmod except for the coil and battery and this can get quite technical and if not treated properly can be quite dangerous as well. Mechmods are really really beneficial if you are going to start sub ohming and sub ohming is not for everyone. If you find that anything below 20w suits you just fine then there really is no need to rush into a mechmod and would suggest that you take your time and do as much research as possible and seek as much advice as possible from those knowledgeable in the realm of mechmods before venturing into this side of vaping.
My apologies for the long post but I hope that this post covers at the very least some of your concerns and queries regarding dry burning of coils and the difference types of devices.
