How to Properly Dry Burn a Coil and Why It’s Important

Dry burning a coil is a crucial step in preparing your vape device. Many beginners skip it, but proper coil burning ensures a clean flavor and extends the lifespan of your build.

Why burn a coil?

During installation, coils may contain oil, oxidation, or tiny metal particles. If you vape without cleaning, these impurities affect flavor and may be harmful. Dry burning removes residues, evens out heating, and prevents hot spots.

How to burn a coil properly?

1. Install the coil and secure the screws.

2. Set wattage to 10–20W.

3. Pulse fire until the coil glows evenly from the center outward.

4. Adjust with ceramic tweezers if needed.

5. Let it cool, insert cotton, and saturate with e-liquid.

Tips

• Never use high wattage.

• Always work with ceramic tools.

• Do not burn Ni, Ti, or SS coils intended for TC mode.

Conclusion

Dry burning is a simple but essential step for clean flavor and a longer-lasting coil build.
