Subtank OCC Qs

[djs]

So - 21 days into Subtank use and two fairly dirty used heads sitting (they're well rinsed) on the vape desk.

Should I pull out the wick, dry burn and re-wick, or just rip 'em apart and find my Kanthal + Cotton Wool stash?

I just pull the entire lot out and rebuild completely every time even when my own coils are in there.

Loose coils? (not compacted).. what diameter do you do?

OK, OK. Let me hide under a rock.

I just wanted to know if it was worth a dry burn.

2mm ID is the answer... I'll do it.

This is my job for the morning too ....let the games begin!

I just rewicked 2 coils just pulled it out with a pair of fine tipped tweezers
gave it a quick dry burn blew any crud away and replaced with some rayon
works a treat.

[djs]

Well, I did it... and failed.

Can't see for **** in these heads.. so better off sticking with Lemo/Kayfun/Orchid once I've run out of coils.

..which could be quite a while, as I got 25 from China and they last 10 days or so.

See you all in 250 days on this thread. Just in time for *bleep*mas.

or at Vapefest with a tin of used OCCs.

Somehow, I managed that bit (5 times in a row too).... and got a screwdriver in there darn quick to hold it in place.

Doing the base and silicone bung was easy too.

I think another attempt with some serious light is in order. The kitchen is a bit dark and my eyesight is shocking at close range.

Just managed to rewick a gunked up .5 one. Bit of gentle persuasion with a needle and tweezers, quick dry burn and some cotton chucked back through and it's spot on. Next step recoiling but that's for a later date.
