I'll agree with the above poster, who said anywhere from 1week to 1month.
I've gone through about 5 of them now. The time frame of them lasting for me has been around 10-15days. Since they are so cheap, once they start tasting nasty, I just put them in the used atomizer container, to rebuild some day in the future.
2 weeks is a pretty good avg - after that I can notice a difference in taste.
discountvapors has the replacement heads 5 pack for 5$

SHUT UP!!! I just got what I thought was the deal of the century on the dang things, $9.45 plus shipping.
Next time I'm asking you first!!
Hey HVAC - You are gonna love the evod!
I was getting 2 to 3 weeks out of them. Cleaning about every 4th or 5th tank, but I vape at 9-9.5 watts, so that may be a factor. Also, when cleaning - a little trick I learned on the forum. You can replace the flavor wicks with a few strands of sterile guaze (not the shiney stuff with cotton in the middle). Worked brilliantly - the coil wick cleans pretty good when you burn them, but the flavor wicks I found were pretty much toast by the first cleaning.
Also, rebuilding these things is a sinch! I use cotton butchers twine and kanthal 32 wire. There is a fantastic video running around on the forum. For $10-11 bucks I ended up with enough supplies to rebuild for atleast a year!

How long the heads last COMPLETELY depends on your juice and your way of vaping. I have had a lot of juices gunk up my coils. I was going through a head every 3-4 days! But now, I am learning how to dry-burn and eventually I will rebuild the coild as well. SAve your heads so that you can try to rebuild later.
@gal66stang - did you boil and dry the butcher's twine? I never thought of over that! You can't dry burn those right?

Yep, and they ship REALLY fast.
I got mine in about 3-4 days after I placed the order....AND I ordered on a friday or saturday I believe.
I ordered 10 replacement heads for the EVOD....and 5 for the pro tank (15 total), and it came to $20 with shipping
Also, your experience will probably be unique. When it comes to vaping, it seems so much is subjective. Lots of people here and elsewhere mention cleaning out the coils, and re-using. Doesn't work for me. Ive tried it all, and while I DID notice SOME improvement.....it was never enough, even at its BEST, to warrant re-using, and not just replacing the heads which are only 1 buck a piece.
More often than not, when I would try to clean the coils, nothing much changed. Could have been the flavor wicks, I don't know. Anyway, I save all the coils for rebuilding (I havent rebuilt any yet, but I'm sure I will in the future).
For as cheap as coils for the evod/pro tank are......I just use em until I notice the taste being icky-ish. Not always a burnt taste either.....sometimes the flavor just becomes icky, it'll taste like....i don't know....how a wet dog smells or something, I can't really explain it. That is when I replace em. As I said, for me it is usually 10-14 days. General consensus seems to be 1 week to 1 month. The poster above me a few posts said 3-4 days. I don't doubt that! Your mileage will vary

I haven't had to clean them yet. I built up four and just switched to the last clean one today. (I will do my weekend cleaning/maint and DIY tomorrow though, so I will let you know). My observations so far, personally, I like the taste better and I don't get a burnt taste as often. At refill, I dab the wicks with a paper towl a couple times and it is all clean again. With the silica, it didn't seem to clean the dark brown out until I dry burned.
I did not boil the twine...my thoughts were it was ready for food. I know some folks boil the yarn. The first two I built were dry when I built them. There was a taste for the first couple draws, but then it went away. The second two, I just wet the twine and wrang it out good. This made it easier to wrap and cut. Then I added a few drops of juice to the end before putting together in a tank and no taste, except yummy juice.
On the dry burn, I just don't think it will be problematic. The cotton will still be a little wet from rinsing juice out and I think that stuff takes pretty high heat in the oven. (I've never used it cooking - but just my thinking at this point). I will know for sure if I catch my newly wrapped coil on fire tomorrow though!
Will get back to ya' @MsComptrtchr!!
I dry burned a cotton wick and it burnt the threads completely in two. You can de-wick, dry burn the empty coil, rinse, and re-wick with cotton, though. That's what I'm doing now until the coil pops and I'm forced to re-coil. I can't SEE! I need a ligted standing magnifying glass to really be able to tell what I'm doing. . .have to put that on the shopping list as well.
Here is where I heard about that. I almost always order them from discountvapers.com, unless a juice vendor I'm purchasing from has them at a not-insane price. I use the unmodified eVod heads in my protank for their tighter draw.
Burns through...
Ended up rebuilding the one. Will try the re-wick with same coil like @FinallyQuit suggested on the next one this evening.- Status
