Does anyone else go through coils like crazy?

[Sphendal]

I have an Itaste MVP v2, and use 2.2ohm coils in evod clearomizers. I use 8.5W and 4.2 volts. I do vape a lot, but I go through a coil approximately every 5 days. I haven't started rebuilding my own coils yet, though I've been watching many peoples skills on youtube. Will definitely start re-building my own soon... it's very difficult, for it seems that everyone uses different wires and wicks and different techniques. Luckily I have a friend that wraps his own coils, and he's willing to help me.

i use stock kanger coils, lasts me at least 2 weeks at 7-8 watts

I have a similar setup and that sounds about average. That is why I started rebuilding my coils over a year ago. Even a cheap new coil costs around a dollar and a rebuild costs pennies. I would suggest you look into rebuilding your coils. I didn't have help, just a few videos ( I guess that should count as help) take your friend up on it! Also... I went to rayon about 6 months ago and I can get up to ten tanks on a coil before it gunks up or starts to taste funny.

I use stock kanger 2.2ohm coils at about 8.5watts and I only get 3-5 days of use before they're completely shot. From what I've gathered now, I guess this is pretty normal. I gotta start re-building my own coils soon.

Thanks for your input!

Depends on what you are vaping. Wife goes through a coil about every two or three days with carmel coffee. Much better since I rebuild them. Don't last her any longer but I just have to take out wicks, clean, dry burn and install new wicks. Coils last for months but I have about 15 rebuilt. CHEERS!

Darker liquids and sweet flavors will gunk your coil faster.

I get about the same 5 days at 8W and then rebuild. I never use a coil that is even slightly weak. A hundred prewelded nr-r-nr wires from FT for a couple bucks (I've got a couple thousand) and a box of cellu-cotton (lifetime supply for several vapers) allows me to rebuild my coil in less than 2 minutes. It is great to never have to Vape a weak coil.

I don't even dry burn mine any more. My wife has them so gunked up by the time she changes them that I ruin the coil trying to take the wick out so I just rebuild them. My kanger coils are the only thing I build. I have a ton of them since I started taking some from people that just threw them out. Lol

Rebuilding coils is the way to go, it saves you money and you can be creative with your builds to get a vape that suits your habits better.

I personally rebuild the kanger coils vertical has everyone seems to rate the aspire bvc so I get the same effect if not better with my kanger vertical rebuilds.

Here is a post on how I do it

Some types of toppers, and some types of liquids eat coils for breakfast, others don't.

The coil in my KayFun was installed in March, so just shy of 8 months, and still works fine with an occasional cleaning. By comparison the coils in my A7s only last about two months using the same liquids.

I've never used a Kanger, but if coils only last a week, I don't think I want to.
