what coil is this?
Smok M17 .4ohm, nothing fancy... just a tiny tank, but I get good hits off of it. The tank was only available in a kit with a cheap 60W built in battery and just an LED, no screen (someone had given me one). I liked the tank and coil life so much that I bought 10 more kits just for the tanks. The battery it comes with seems overpowered and runs the coil too hot, so I use it on a mod and only put 10W through it. I use the batteries it came with on a Triton Mini using nautilus coils and it the batteries seem to work good with that, so not a total waste. I knew the coils lasted a long time, so I just started keeping track a little over 2 months ago just to see. I also vape unflavored, so that probably has a positive impact on coil life.

EDIT: The .4 ohm are hard to find now, those that still have them seem to be overcharging compared to what I have gotten them for.

I am lucky if I get 5 days out of a wick. But I vape sweet bakery juice that probably has a lot to do with why I have to rewick. Plus my coil is gunked up. I doubt I would get anywhere near that kind of life out of your coils.

Yah, flavoured vs unflavoured and coil longevity is hardly comparable.
I showed a pic here of a zenith coil I had taken apart after 3months of use with unflavoured and was told I was fibbing :) it looked so new. 3ml of freebase unflavoured a day at 9w and it just had some light marks on the cotton where it made contact with the coil.
I have since replicated it just to make sure it was a real thing, it is.
I tried a zenith coil with a gooey sickly sweet butterscotch and ditched it in about 4 days. Two extremes.

I find coil life is very dependent on the flavors used. Bronuts? yeah a week at best for me. My DIY strawberry 3 weeks or at times more. At one time there was a mojito flavored liquid(don't remember the maker) that would destroy a coil in 1 day. I think it is heavily dependent on how much sweetener is in it and which one.

Speaking of coils and clean, what is that brush people are using to clean coils?
Believe it or not I just use those tiny ones kids use to clean around the wires of braces. Cheap and available and nearly any drug store.

When will my order be shipped?
Please Note: Our team recently moved to a brand-new, upgraded facility to provide more affordable vaping options with quicker shipping time in the immediate future. Unfortunately, we experience an unexpected delay in the warehouse fullfillment side, which in turn have caused a delay processing for all shipments on orders placed between November 3 to November 11. For orders during this time frame, a full 72 business hours (exclude Sunday & Veteran's Day) of processing time will be needed, with a few orders might encountering longer processing time especially for orders with Free Shipping as we will prioritize all Priority Shipping orders. We truly apologize for this unexpected delay as our team is working extremely hard, day and night, to get all orders out as soon as possible. If your order is placed, it will be sent out diligently by our team members and please do not hesitate to email us at customerservice@elementvape.com for any questions or concerns.

Hot water poured through the filter, you have coffee.
I even keep a permanent filter that is mesh material on hand incase we run out of paper filters. I have used many times and hot water poured thru makes great coffee if the pot takes a powder :)

Just think, you can always use the mesh for your coil in an emergency.

    Can you imagine the vape shops/vendors trying to get orders out while keeping up with a ban on certain things in one state or the other. Then when the ban is overturned, they have to change out their website and shipping again and again.

    Then again I have 2 vivi nova tanks from way back that I NEVER managed to get to work at all. It is why I bought the original protank when it was first released. ;)
    I have a smok version of Vivia nova that actually worked quite well and some wicks to go with it. In my vintage box :)
