vaplen said: @smutman dont dry fire your coils supposedly it changes the molecular structure of the coil because itt gets so hot and wll eventually off gas. Theres a guy that posted a video for the evolve plus I think it was and he explained that. I read it somewhere else as well Click to expand...

Ive read so much about this over the past week and i find so much conflicting stuff.On one hand nichrome does create a chromium oxide barrier when heated and chromium oxide is toxic but, but apparently its inert and really only releases gasses at a temperature the yocan evolve shouldnt be reaching, and the oxidized layer protects the coil from further oxidization. I think any real warnings about dry firing are from glowing hot coils burning for an extended period of time, i think if you do a quick dry burn here or there to burn off debris or to check real quick if a new coil is working youre fine, but dont sit there with the button held down to the 10 second timer on a dry coil.If anyone knows anything different feel free to correct me im really interested in using this device as safely as possible. Ni80 (the wire the coils are made of) is extremely popular in ecigs and has been for years and those guys tend to dry fire their coils a lot more and for a lot longer than people with wax pens do so i think a lot of the warnings have carried over from that community where they are still split on dry burning coils as far as i can tell.The big question i think is what temperature does chromium oxide vaporize? if its a stupid high temp then we are more than likely fine but if it vapes/gasses at like 800-1200 F we could be in trouble.tldr - dry burning isnt great from what i can gather but as long as you dont do it habitually and continually and to the point of a glowing hot dry red coil for extended periods of time then you should be fine. A lot of the harmful stuff in these metals tends to only be released at temperatures an evolve should never be reaching, someone posted earlier the evolve was hitting 500ish Fahrenheit and spiking at a max of 1000F, the nichrome needs to be heated to like over 1200C (citation needed) to release gasses that i believe would be harmful to us.PLEASE if anyone knows any more than me feel free to school me, im on disability and in poor health so using a device thats unsafe for me at the moment is counterproductive.Between this and the "Healthier" superglue comment on the previous page, i think i might just go smoke a joint lol, less stress.
