What's up? What kind of gear do you use? A frequent culprit of coil death is actually the juice you use. Sweeteners and flavorings carbonize on the coil, and unfortunately in my experience the sweeter and more flavorful the juice is the more it will burn up on your coils. Lower wattage/voltage can help a little. Making sure your tank doesn't go dry. Chain vaping was frequently my issue, coils stay too hot and or don't keep enough juice on them. When i started vaping I wanted coffee and chocolate vapes the most but found a lot of them would gunk up my coils fast. Clear juices are generally better but can be just as bad as a dark juice. Blueberry anything has always been horrible on my coils. I run medium wattage rebuildable stuff and see the results quicker. With some juice I'll get half a day before it's tasting too dark and I'm thinking of changing the cotton and cleaning coils. Do not let this stop you from enjoying the crap out of your favorite flavors. Long story short, get used to it, upgrade your equipment, change up your juice, 2 weeks isn't bad, or pick up a cheap dripper and learn to rebuild (not as hard as it seems)
Hello @Jg1701 and welcome to ECF. I hope you get your coil problem sorted...

Hi, welcome to ECF. Depending on how much liquid you are running through those coils, it might actually be decent coil life. Did your coil life decrease recently though, and did anything change (including juice). Some darker, sweeter juices are much harder on coils than the less sweet and dark ones. It could be something as simple as that.
Best of luck and most of all, welcome to ECF. I hope you figure out your coil situation soon.

Hi and welcome. Those Smok coils have a rep for not lasting long. I dunno if they deserve it-- I build my own-- but that's what is said about them.
Hi, and welcome to the forum! Honestly a week to two weeks is the average lifespan of my coils. I'm a heavy vaper, and have been for over 5 years.... a week to two weeks has always been the average. You can try switching up to the Big Baby Beast... my coils on my BBB last a lot longer than the coils on my regular BB.
Welcome and glad you joined.
If you can bend a paper clip, you make a coil.
Might help if you look at the rebuildable information below:

Funny thing about doing my own coils. I wind low volt coils for transformers. After doing that all day I can't imagine wanting to come home and doing it so I can vape...lol. I'll stick with the store bought. I ended up buying a new set up yesterday. I got a kangertech iken mod and a uwell valyrian tank for $85. I love it so far, just trying to get used to a more powerful mod.
