Before dry burning anything, what type of wire are you using, Kanthal, Ni80, SS? I doubt you're in temp control, but you never know. Avoid dry burning Ti and Ni200. I would have to rewick and clean the coil with 60 ml of juice through it (maybe even a bit less). With dry burning the coil I can get 3 months out of a SS coil. But as I vape only about 7 ml of juice a day, it's not a big deal to deal with. For you, yeah, extra tanks to spread the load out is a good idea.

Yes, coils and wicks are kinda like shoes. If you wear one pair everyday it will die much faster than if you alternate pairs of shoes. That is a lot of juice BTW, but if that's what you enjoy may want to look into DIY if you haven't (for control of gunking factors if nothing else) but also, so you can buy a few more setups :)

If they are decent not a bad price. Do you diy your juice?
They are just last year's models basically. A lot of second versions wich I love when a tank is good enough they revisit it!!! Yes I do diy juice but I also buy a lot. I don't notice a difference. I make a 70/30pg ratio

I am fortunate enough that juice is very affordable compared to the pack of cigarettes or two I smoked in a day with the new taxes ran me 10-20$ a day in tobacco I'm more than happy to spend 100$ a month on being able to vape all day everyday. I'm self employed so it's all day every day

I think I'm gonna drop the 20$ on another 1000 feet of wire I use SS for flavor kanthal for clouds and mix them sometimes. I use TC and power mode depending on what I'm trying to do.

Friend and I visiting suicide bunny and there going to teach us how to mix
Starting diy next year

Same friend builds flight for life helicopters he handles all the metals

Been getting free 1000 foot spools of any type of metal I want free :)
Nice. I DIY to assure myself I am always ready if we get cut off.. I prefer buying it I work a lot and I would rather spend my downtime doing other things and not burping and steeping jars of liquid all day..

I go thru around 15ml a day and mix my own. Most of it needs a good 2 to 3 week steep. I mix enough for 3 months at one time. when it gets down to a 2 or 3 week supply I mix another batch of ejuice flavors.

Takes about an hour at most. Costs around $1.50 to $2 per 60ml depending on flavoring cost.

So I vape a lot. About 60ml a day maybe a bit more. I find that my coils are wrecked after a day. I build all of them and take pride it my builds. The wicks are fine a bit gunky but fluffy and retaining plenty of ejuice no burns or need to change it. I have tried different juice a and there are minor differences but overall it's the same! I set and break my coils in before I bring up the power level. Still the coils themselves are black after a day or less. The flavor is muted but still tolerable at this point. Is this just personal preference to change them daily or a Normal thing if you vape a lot?
Maybe bad juice? I used transistor and baked and get 120ml or more with my cloud beast on any coil

TFV8 coils are big fellas that can take a lot of juice. I still have four of the six I bought before switching to the RBA. Which is a good thing because they're stupid expensive.

Make my own coils and use rayon , my coils last for months, just as long as you dry burn them at every rewick. As for the wicks themselves, about every 15mls of liquid. So I'm really surprised you can get 60 mls of good tasting juice from one wick, actually am surprised anyone can vape 60 mls in one day!! Definitely need a few other devices
