Hello everyone! I was just wondering how often you all change your cotton? And what may cause it to need changed more often? I just changed mine a few days ago and it taste like it needs changed again. And I have been vaping WAY less than normal.
Cotton, how often do you change it?

That may be it. I got am vaping an 80% VG and I do 60 most the time. ANd it is a new brand, Heady Drips. Because I can not get to the vape shop I used to go to. That is why I have been vaping way less. I have this 30ml bottle to last till Friday. And It is almost gone =/
I vape dark sweet juices at work and I have to rewick every night... I vape fruit flavors at night in my dripper and don't have to rewick for days.....all in all if it tastes like crap or your vapor production has decreased its time to rewick
Like others said....really depends on the juice...I can vape unflavored for two weeks and the cotton looks barely used. Then again using a NET Bacco jooce the cotton may last one day before junking up.
Depending on what I vape, my cotton can go from white to black, and back to white, but when it gets matted down and fluid does not seem to wick up fast, I know time is coming for a change.
I usually look at my coils, and let them tell me what is going on. I try to keep my coils clean. If the coils look grungy I remove the cotton, and clean the coils, then apply new cotton.
Just looked... time to change the cotton! Thanks!!!

I replace mine every night, but I also use 70vg, dark, sweet juice. I could probably do it every other day or so but, I mainly do it so I can dry burn my coils. They get gunked up quick with sweet stuff. For me anyway.
In general, darker juices will clog up your cotton faster than a light colored juice.
Once a day, sometimes more. Using NET juices at 75p25v and 1-1.3ohm UNregulated.
Most times its the coil being gunked-up that causes the change.. Not really the wick, as the wick could be rinsed in water and cleaned. BUT since it has to be removed to dry burn the coil and removing the wick destroys the wick. I have to rewick.

@Allison Cloud Be sure to purge your coils when changing your wick.
That's pulsing bare coils and burning off impurities and stale juice.
Pulse them until they are nice and hot and glowing red. When all vapor stops coming off of the coils, they're ready. The should be close to the original color afterwards....if not, you may need to wrap new coils.

I change my cotton wicks every few days and dry burn my coils in between. I don't change my cotton because I think that the wicks have gone bad but because the coils get gunked up and the taste is off and the performance is degraded. Basically I dry burn my coils every few days and change the cotton wicks as a consequence.
Cotton is real inexpensive. I buy a large box of 60 or 80 sheets of Koh Gen Do on amazon ($10-12) so I can change it at whim. Mostly it's when I have gunked a coil or burned it from chain vaping.
I use rayon wicks and change them every 2 weeks but I don't vape sweet juices and only vape at 10 watts in most of my tanks.the wicks still look clean after 2 weeks but the coil could use a dry burn at that time.
About once a week (sometimes I can go a whole 2), but I vape unflavored and occasionally menthol/tiny bit of fruit flavoring juices, so I'm definitely an outlier.
The head in my Subtank is like 2 or 3 months old. That thing only ever gets nic/PG/VG though, so that has a lot to do with it.

Ditto above but I'm at 6-7 w. in RDA's/single coil. about once a week. I could do as Maurice00 but 500' of rayon is cheap. I pretty much do a lot of sweet juices but I don't believe color has a whole lot to do with changing wick. Taste is the big decider criteria for me.
I changed my cotton the last time I changed my coil, about three months ago. That's on my Kayfun, on my Zephyrus V2 I use the pre-made coils and haven't changed that one in a couple of months.
