Yes, thanks Gordy. When I say "clean" I actually mean "swish a bit of water round" to clear excess juice. The choice is waiting for it to dry or refilling immediately and spending a minute puffing away to clear the wick. It's not really a major difficulty. One tip is to half fill with water/voddy, then put the mouthpiece back in before shaking it. This protects the inside bits from water. I do have a spare one, but I'm too tight to buy one clearo per flavour, I normally alternate three juices in a day. The spare is an alternate for when I have to replace the wick & coil on the other.

So if you oxidise it the coil does not short out on it?

yep exactly
really easy to do... roll up mesh into a tube.... heat with blow torch or lighter till red hot and drop into water. repeat a few times. then you can drop some PG on the mesh and ignite to burn it off.
wrap a coil around it making sure its nice and tight ... job done
tastes fab with no tainting and wicks really quickly

It's probably all to do with how the ommphage is transmutated into the coily thingwee ............ and that accounts for the seeming difference in resistance. I think this should now become the standard response to questions regarding 'miser strengths - brilliant when mine need re-coiling im gonna try a stainless steel mesh wick in it ... that will have instant flavour changes I can see I'm just going to have to have a go with SS mesh wicks - maybe in the RDA first. I'll have to look into getting some mesh soon I think!

It'll be a week or two before I try this I think.

I wonder if it's possible to use pipe gauzes/screens, little circles of stainless steel mesh that cost about 10p each that you can get from headshops (so I won't link because NSFW). Not that I know anything about that sort of thing, just saying. Might be easier.
