Coil life

[UniVaper]

Hi all.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how long the coils on the atlantis last.
Mine is about 4 weeks old and doesn't seem to have lost any effect
It almost seems eternal.. but perhaps I'm an optimist...

either you vape 1/3 a ml a day or youve gotten use to the burnt taste

Coil life depends on many factors, the juice flavors, how much you use, how hot (what wattage) you vape at, how much you chain vape, how much air flow you'really getting.....

I have coils I'very used with plain menthol juice that lasted months with heavy use. The eliquid is perfectly clear & colorless. Other tobacco flavors may only last a week.

How it tastes to you is the best indicator....try a new coil, if it tastes the same, there's life left in the old one. If there's marked improvement, ditch the old one, or dump it in some vodka for a few days to soak clean. If that doesn't improve it, give it a decent burial...

p.s. Welcome to ECF...

When your taste buds recoil in horror and your eye balls try to change places you'll know it's time to change things out.

When I used the Atlantis vaping about 10+ ml per day, I don't remember any coil lasting a week. Perhaps they are designed differently now compared to initially coming on the market.

Hi, I least 2 or 3 weeks on my old Kayfuns.

Hi, UniVaper. I would say that you are simply "vaping it right", if your coils last that long

I have coils I'very used with plain menthol juice that lasted months with heavy use. The eliquid is perfectly clear & colorless.

Same here. But when I used to vape tiramisu flavor, my coils hardly lasted a week.

Thanks all... I proably take a long draw every 30 mins on average... maybe 40 to 50 uses a day some in short bursts etc but rarely go above 15w

Hi BK..probably 2 to 3ml a day... average power about 12w .. I don't need any more with the sub Ohm flow.. just suits me I guess
