how do you clean and dry burn the 30s ?

[dognosh]

I have seen videos for iclear 16 and 30, none for the 30s(which is different to the 30).
I have dismantled it as far as I can but still can't see the wick, anyone done a dry burn on this puppy yet ?

When I find my one, I'm going to give it an overnight soak with some Bicarbonate of Soda, then leave to dry on top of a radiator! I don't really do the dry burning thing!

Or, I may try cleaning it with my new ultrasonic cleaner, then leave to dry

This will work a lot better, just make sure you use warm-hot water.

ooops, instead of 2.1 ohm it now reads 1.1 , probably because I pulled the top coil out
good job I got spares
still, would like to know for next time

I don't have a 30s but normally with a 2 coil setup they are in parallel, and when you remove one you increase the resistance, not decrease it (and if they were in series it would stop working altogether). 

Point being, you may have a short somewhere which with a bit of poking about you might be able to fix.

what is your procedure for ultra-sonic cleaning ? (other than warm-hot water)
do I clean it as much as poss before using cleaner ? (I guess yes)
how long in cleaner ?
then leave to dry or use kitchen towel ?
then a 3 X 10 sec dry burn ? (guessing here)

Warm water

No need too

how long in cleaner ?

One cycle

then leave to dry or use kitchen towel ?

Leave to dry overnight on some tissue

then a 3 X 10 sec dry burn ? (guessing here)

No need too as they should be nice and dry from the overnight drying

Forgot to add dognosh just don't put anything in the UC that has rubber/painted/lacquer surface as it may or will come off.

Polished chrome or plain steel is fine.

I had the same the same idea. Alas my new ultra sonic cleaner is apparently out of bounds til Christmas day.

Never imagined that I would be asking Santa for an Ultrasonic cleaner and half a litre of nic base.

I dry burn mine all the time. I don't soak them in anything any more (after watching a you tube video) I just unscrew, rinse under a hot tap, paper towel dry as much as I can, dry burn, liquid back in....good to go. I do this after every 3 fill ups of e liquid.

No need for warm water,when its working the ultrasonic warms the water, bought mine few days ago pleased with it Lidl has loads still,,think the little blue led is great ,when its on matches my PC fans lol
