You could probably find them cheaper in the States than I could link to. They are old fashioned so check bargain or clearance sections. Once you have used them you either clean in hot water or just dry burn and rinse. I still have some from years ago that I still use.
For me it was when the bottom of the atty (where the coil is) would get super-super hot and I wasn't getting any vapor. At this point (if it has silica wick), you could try rinsing it, letting it dry, then dry-pulsing the crud off the coil (careful, don't scorch the silica), then let it dry again and see if you can still get a little more life out of it. Or you can just replace and toss the old coil, or save it for possibly rebuilding later (which I did).
Oh, and if there are two little threads of silica on top of the coil, don't lose those (or replace them with fresh silica). If you leave them out without rewicking, you'll have too much liquid going into the juice channels.
Ahem, aren't replacement heads cheaper than new tanks?

Yeah... I won't argue with the half-witted, or engage in a battle of wits with the unarmed. I don't know that high-powered ultrasonics would pose any danger, but I also don't know if *anyone* knows... Considering the impact of subsonics on the brain, I think it worth looking into, and as you pointed out, using something on a regular basis, that near one's brain, could make the impact far greater.

If I am still using something regularly (eliquid or gear) after three days then it's a keeper.
I've already abandoned the Spinner. I just prefer the EVOD - not sure why - and I don't even have any juice that I like yet.

Yes, they are. Which is why I finally decided to ask! LOL
So basically, if I am having to draw a lot longer to get any vapor, the coils are probably bad. Also, if while trying to get that vapor, the bottom of the atty gets hot, it's time. That's also makes a lot of sense and is something tangible. Thanks!! D
If it's just bland but you're still getting plenty of vapor and it doesn't get hot, try rinsing it and letting it dry. Some people soak it in vodka, but I found that vodka was better put to use in a glass with some grapefruit juice.Thank you for this reply! And sorry I jumped the gun on the sigh
Just stick'em in a lidded jar with some water and swish them around for a little while. 
What did I miss?
Perhaps you didn't read far enough before fatigue set in. I gave a recap a couple of pages back.

i have a quick question also
the other week i went to a vape shop for some tasting of different flavors
they has two setups ie the normal little pen style atty things that ya cant realy get a good idea of taste just a basic idea etc
and the second station was a dripper set up ie jus bottles of juice and you use ya own dripper etc
my question is if ya use a dripper to do taste testing do ya need to rewick for each flavor or can ya just put enough juice on to have a couple of good pulls then add ya next juice and pull a few times to get the next flavor through
i know you will get a mix between the two flavors until the first is gone but would this work or should you rewick for each and every diferent flavor ?

@AllElseFailed , I added something while you were "liking:"
"Oh, and if there are two little threads of silica on top of the coil, don't lose those (or replace them with fresh silica). If you leave them out without rewicking, you'll have too much liquid going into the juice channels."

I just saw something about a "tester" somewhere - is that the same thing? I don't remember where I saw it but I think it had to do with a "sampler" of several different juices...
Thanks everyone for all of the fantastic advice tonight. I feel like I have a MUCH better understanding now of A LOT of things. And will be looking for a 510 bridgeless atty!
Sorry I hijacked the thread a bit!
And good night all! Have to work in the morning!

Thanks! And thanks for making sure I noticed that! Will probably be coming back to these posts often to remember everything, although I have taken notes!
For me anything that has a wick is better changed with the flavour. Anything with just the coil can be used over and over as long as the flavours are not completely opposite or tobacco. Tobacco types seem to hang around. I also find a cherry taste hard to get rid off. Because I Vape mainly mints and menthols I keep those separate from fruit.
As Krisma said, you don't have to use an RDA to test flavors. You might find my blog helpful, it's the way we all used to drip (and some still do!): Drip, Drip, Drip - The Sound of Dripping | E-Cigarette Forum
Yep.
Unless you forgot to charge your batt. But if the bottom part is getting super hot while you're doing this, then yeah, time for a new head. What's happening is that the crud on the coil is insulating it and keeping it from heating up. The only way to get that crud off is to dry-pulse it to make it pop off (I say "pulse," not "burn" in this case because you wanna be careful not to scorch the silica. You could just remove the silica and rewick it, but it's really hard to rewick those things without mangling them because of how they built it).
the only reason i ask is i was thinking about getting a dripper for this sort of thing can you get a wickless dripper or not
IMO it depends on the wicking material. With silica or cotton, I always had to rinse it off. But with rayon, it works just like you said. Vape it dry, top off with new flavor, then take about 4 pulls.
I have a lot of different gear that I can use for dripping. I use Sophia rebuildable atomisers in some of my tanks and so I use them with the eliquid control shut to do my initial dripping. Then if I like the eliquid enough the transition to a small tank is easy, just pop a tank on and open the eliquid control.
There are a heck of a lot of different types and it comes down to what is easiest for people to use. It's more about the process of tasting new eliquids.
Also I keep reminding myself that there are no rules around vaping. You will find a way of doing things that make sense to you and in a rhythm that fits your lifestyle. Keep trying new things, new ways and enjoy the journey. It should be fun but it needs to make sense in your life.
