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?

Dry burn every cotton change. Try not to over drip. Even running your cotton almost dry before adding juice will keep your cotton from turning to jelly as quick. Keeping a rda topped off all the time will cook your juice making it thicker and thicker. My girlfriend goes through cotton 3 times as fast as me on the same juice and set up and I vape more. All from over dripping.

60ml a day :eek:!? I have to re-wick my cotton every 30-60ml in my kf5 using Naked's e-liguid. 60ml is about average for a coil (from my experience) unless you're vaping unflavored or something very light in flavoring. 100 ml is about the max from my experience. I would just rotate tanks/drippers if you don't want to re-wick every day.

I vape a lot, but don't change daily. Rewick about 2-3 times a week, maybe. Rebuild only when I'm feeling I wanna, seldom need to.

I dry burn, and usually vape my cotton near white.
So Tidy Whities then:pervy::lol: I vape a lot but I only feel the need to rewick and coil burn about once a week. I diy and don't add sweeteners to my juice, that may make mine last longer as sweeter juice will gunk up your coils and untidy your whities;)

Seems to me that the three major factors are juice, power and ml.

Unflavoured juice keeps your coils and wicks clean for long periods. Dark coloured sweat flavoured juice runs amoke with them.

At 35watts I was getting through 40ml of flavoured juice before needing too change coil (for me that's a week - but it's the ml not the time).

At 70watts I'm changing coils every 15ml.

I run somewhere around 15 ml a day thru them of flavored juice. Change the wick once a week and dry burn off the crust on the coil. Usually the wick is in good shape but the coil has a layer of gunk on it. Only rewick once and make another coil. Wire is cheap.
