Does a higher voltage decrease or increase coil life?

[LeoRex]

Playing around with my (now busted) eGoV V2, I was curious about coil life with different voltages. My go-to juice is a 100% VG tobacco that is pretty dark and thick. On my old 3.7V eGo, I found that it would goop up a Vivi Nova pretty quickly... only a couple of tanks before a good cleaning was needed.

I was wondering how voltage affected the coils... as far as residue and... well... goop. Does a higher voltage burn off more of the juice, meaning less residue is left behind? Or does the increased temp/wattage create more crud? I can think of reasons to be convinced of either choice, but I haven't had enough time on a VV device to get some empirical evidence (the eGo-V was my first VV.. and it crapped out only after a week).

What's the scoop?

Higher voltage in most cases decreases coil life.

I have found that too low of a voltage results in a build up of "goop", had this problem when I first switched to cotton and thought I needed a lower voltage as to not burn the wick. Turns out I was replacing wicks a lot, finally read here that cotton can take a lot of abuse as long as it is wet so I upped my voltage and holy guppies Batman cleaner coils. As far as popping coils have not had that happen yet, though I use 28 gauge wire...
