Changing coils...When?

It would have been helpful to know what device you're putting these coils in.
In a clearomizer, I change coils when I can't dry burn them and get a good vape anymore. They sometimes last for a couple of months, sometimes a couple of weeks. I know I want to dry burn one when the vape performance has reduced enough to get me to do it.
In a rebuildable, I change the coil when it breaks or I want to change something about the coil.
Hope that helps a bit.

You change a coil when it opens/breaks, gets to gunked up to function well or has a bad taste. They don't have to be disposable. Depends on the atty.
When the vape goes south. When, on a VV or VW device you find yourself cranking up the power to get a good pull.
Since you mention "5 packs" of heads, I'm guessing you're using some sort of clearo. Most of them can be cleaned and dry burned to restore them to nearly new performance, but good to have lots of spares anyway. For when it's gunked and you don't want to take the time to clean, for fumble fingers losing small parts down the drain...
Some flavors, as mentioned, will gunk a coil quickly, some not much at all. No good "average" can be given. Too many variables.

I just changed a coil in an evod that was on a second clean and dry burn. It lasted 2 weeks. I won't do anymore than 2 cleanings on a coil. Between cleaned and dry burned and new, I must have 20 coils laying around. I use evods, protanks and DCTs. When a DCT carto gets junked, I just toss and replace.
That is, of course, your choice.
I have many Kanger and similar coils that have been in use for months. A good clean and dry burn, replacing the flavor wicks with cotton, and they vape good as new. When the resistance finally starts to go up, I'll set them aside for recoiling when I have enough to make it worthwhile. (I like to recoil on silica so I can continue to dry burn.)
