When atlantis coils get old they stop wicking well - so you get less vapor and, potentially, some dry hits. I've had coils last 3 weeks until I couldn't stand the loss of vapor and declining flavor profile. There is no catastrophic failure. I typically change each week now to avoid those issues (but I vape a lot - about 30-45 ml per day) so YMMV.

Yeah I do vape alot but lasts me till 10 but am getting a bad taste off my
juice is this cause I haven't replaced the coil or should I try cleaning it out again

Bad taste can be caused by a dirty coil, clogged wicks, a burnt wick, or your cleaning process. I haven't cleaned coils since CE5s - replaceable coils are cheap enough now that I just replace them. The method of dry burning coils to get the gunk off them stopped working when manufacturers replaced ceramic wicks with cotton - cotton burns and you can never get that burnt taste gone without rewicking the coil. The solvent you use to clean the wicks is also quite relevant - you want something like Pure Grain Alcohol that won't leave a residue ( I know people who use IPA and others who don't trust it - or their patience in waiting for it to fully dry).
