El Kamino (Good Life Vapor) is my absolute favorite juice! I've been vaping it every other tank for 2 months straight and have not tired of it (more often now). I can't say that for any other juice. My only issue is that I have to replace the wick after every tank because it's a dark juice and it gunks up the coil easily. I use a Kayfun L+ clone, 10 wrap 28g kanthal, sterile rolled cotton wick. This is not an issue with lighter colored juices, I only have to change the wick on those once a week. Any way to avoid this? If possible I'd rather not change the wick once a day, though I don't have a problem doing it. Just a slight inconvenience.

Yeah a lot of dark colored e-juices always leave a stain on the wicks, and it leaves the entire tank tasting like it. And yeah, I noticed on my girlfriend's vape that her coils kick the can more often than me, and I use only light-colored ones.

However!.. there is a method where you can do your own wicking. Vision Vivi Nova, Part 2 - Changing Wick (COTTON) & Final Impressions - YouTube I know, this video is long. But if you skip to around 2:36, he starts replacing the wick on the coil. Idk anything about how this stuff works cuz I don't have this issue (don't vape dark vapors) so... but this seems to be a cheaper route if you're going through coils fast.

Ohhhh you already do that method. Sorry man... haven't been sleeping lately. I wouldn't know how to reduce the cost of the wick, other than maybe trying these hardcore kinds of wicks that Robert Ellis uses, he's on Youtube. He uses some crazy wicks from what I've seen in his videos

Other than that, maybe you can switch to the drip-method? I'm not a super tech-savvy vaper, so... I tried to the best of my ability to help somehow.. Sorry if I didn't.
