Coil life span on a genesis atomizer

[Secret_77]

Hi all - I am thinking this has been asked before, but how often do you find yourself replacing your coils on a genesis atomizer. Is it the same for PG and VG or do you find higher VG to 100% VG requiring to be changed more often?

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks!!

Im going on 3 months same wick and coil. Ill do a hot water rinse and dry burn every few tanks. If you use the drill bit method to wrap your wick you can just pull wick out. Give it a good torch and fire it with no wick to burn the crud off

I used to go through them about every two tanks. Not broken, but gunked up. I now make micro coils and dry burn them, chipping the carbon off with a dental pick. I get about a week this way. My kanthal ribbon set up is about a month old using a less funky juice.

I cant remember the last time i had to replace a coil due to failure.... I also don't go thinner than 30 gauge.
400 SS wick suits the need of my juice (50/50).

-Rinse with water
-dry burn
-brush off crud
-rinse again
-dry burn to get rid of water
-good as new!

I use the same method, and have had the same results. However, I do find that after a coil is a few weeks old it doesn't hit as well as a fresh one, so I've started recoiling every couple of weeks.

that might be true, i end up recoiling out of boredom, just for the sake of trying something different.

LOL this^^
Usually about every other night I am screwing with it just because I get bored if I don't. Last night I sat on the couch and fully enjoyed my vape- but I missed tinkering so- oops. Broke the coil.

no idea... like several of the above posters, i've never actually had a good coil fail on me. i usually re-build just because i'm bored and either want to try something new or just kill a few minutes. a regular dry-burn and a soak in vodka has always kept my wicks and coils good as new.

agreed ill pull the wick when its stops performing, quickly burn it and toss it in a jar with alc where it sits while i pull a different one thats been soaking and keep going, i dont think i have ever had a coil fail, more like broke it dirkin around to much.
