Coils burn out within a day

Your coil fails when it overheats and the wicking gets scorched. This happens when the e-juice flow is insufficient for the rate of vaporization. So either you've got the power too high, the juice is too thick, or you're vaping too hard.
Or there is something wrong with the Exilis itself... Did you buy it at a B&M, if so give them a call.
Sure it could.
I can put a High VG - Highly Flavored/Sweetened e-Liquid into some of my RTA's and unless I really Dial Down the Wattage, they are going to Fail Very Quickly.
With a Regular Mod, you adjust the Ohms/Wattage to Match the e-Liquid. With a Pod Mod, where you Can't Change the Coil or the Wattage, you have to do the Opposite.
Change the e-Liquid to match the Pod Mod.
Welcome to the friendly bunch 
Hope you've manage to regulate your power to those coils

Did you prime the coil and also wait a few minutes after filling before using? This is very important! Also the juice is 70 % VG... a bit too thick for that pod device. Use thinner juice or as a last resort, got some 50VG/50PG juice and mix with your current juice to thin it (this is also an easy way to boost nicotine if you want... I keep some cheap 50/50 18 mg tobacco juice and mix with thicker 6mg juices because I prefer 12 mg nic) Try spacing out the vapes, doing a draw without firing button between vapes... keeps the coil saturated.
Okay so you love this juice and it works great in your mod.
Just save it for that and go find a juice that works well in your pod, no point trying to fix the unfixable.
I'd suggest something not too sweet (maybe menthol or mint ish if you like that kind of thing) and maybe shoot for 50/50 VG/PG.
Some things don't play well together.

It is salt nic that I’m using it’s 50/50 with 20 mg, I poked holes in the cotton and it seems to have helped absorb the juice abit better and not burning out right away I’ll give it a couple days and see
Also I always prime coils and have been doing pre draws before actually vaping from it
No, it is Not your eliquid!
Don't let anyone kid you in to thinking otherwise.
It is either the way you use your device, or something wrong with your device/coils.
If you do not prime the coils properly, or if you do not inhale with enough airflow to pull the eliquid into and through the coil, you are going to burn the coil out.
If the coil is shoddy from the get go, or the device is outputting higher wattage/volts than advertised, the coil is going to burn out.
It does not matter if your liquid is high VG or all VG, or even all PG.
PG eliquids are easier for low wattage type coils and it is thin and soaks up quickly. VG is thicker and needs more airflow, but as soon as the power hits the coil, heats up and thins out fine.
Now, if your eliquid has sweeteners or oils (neither PG or VG are Oils, they are alcohols that just feel oily) for your flavors, that will speed up the use time of a coil (plus the flavor type oils are not good for you!) and cause them to be coated in a thick coating of baked on crust that takes days or weeks to accumulate. Even normal, good for vaping flavors will coat the coils and it is normal for them to do so!
Anyway, your coil, if of good quality and used properly, on a quality device, should last at least a week and possibly for several weeks.

Hello @Deluxeforsburger, just checked your liquid and discovered that it's 70%VG / 30%PG. You could try thinning it a little using Distilled Water, as we don't know whether the VG is aqueous (water is mixed with it) or pure. And that will affect the thickness or viscosity of it and its ability to wick.
How long is each draw? Try to estimate how many seconds. How hard do you draw (it's good if the airflow is restricted... helps pull juice into the coil) Are you saying you tried a different juice that is 50VG/50PG? That should flow very easily!
I forgot to mention (Mordacai suggested adding distilled water... very easy solution, just don't use over 10%)

@vaper1960, aqueous Vegetable Glycerine has a Distilled Water content of 20% fyi. Unfortunately with premade and volume used, calculations would be tedious.
How much juice you using in a day, how many ml? I have used some juice that will start gunkimg up the coil at about 10ml, or a days use for some people. May not be the juice in your instance, but the amount you use in a day is relevant.
Mordacai, just wanted to mention I am so old school star trek (original series)... as spock would say "very interesting".
SupplyDaddy, yes, everything you said... very good advice!
