Hello and thanks for the opportunity to tap in to your knowledge! :)

I got an eleaf iStick TC60W unit as a gift some time ago and it was set up for me. I know little to nothing about vaping so its probably overkill for someone like me lol.

I have an EC head in it and usually vape at around 21W

For a long time (months) I only used it once in a great while and for very few drags each time. As time has gone one I have increased my usage and just haven't taken the time to learn about vaping like I should have.

Anyway, the atomizer (a MELO 2) has been sitting on it with the same coil and liquid for a loooong time. Im gonna guess at least 3 months, maybe more.

I know I need to clean everything but when I vape on it, it really doesn't taste that bad. Its not as good as when I first got it but its still ok.

Should I empty the atomizer and clean it and change heads? And with light use, maybe 10 drags per day, how often should I clean the unit and change the head?

Also, if I want to change flavors should I use the same atomizer after cleaning or is it best to have a number of them to rotate when you change flavors?

Thanks so much for your expertise and I apologize for my lack of knowledge.

Best to you all,

rick

3 month coil sat in Juice.... in the bin. (Probably... )
Clean out the tank (soak it maybe), fit a new coil and vape away! :)

10 puffs a day... your new coil could last months. I good quality coil must be able to do over 1,000 puffs before any trouble, unless you have really heavy e-liquid with lots of flavoring.
