Any coil will get gunked up and look like crud. With that being said it will depend on the juice you're using as to how long it will take to get gunked up. Replacement heads for the protank are cheap and can be rebuilt. Replacement heads for the iclear 30 probably aren't to expensive either. Both can be cleaned and used again, and both will loose flavor as the coils get gunk built up on them, indicating its time to clean, replace or rebuild the coil/head unit.
Typically the darker the juice the quicker it will gunk up a coil and the clearer the juice the longer the coil will stay clean. Some clear juices have sweeteners in them which will cause a coil to gunk up fast as well due to the sugars caramelizing. With proper cleaning techniques I have had coils last for many many months but they do still loose their performance over time.

Ok specific to protank and my experience.
I managed 3 tanks of a simple strawberry juice before I had to clean hte head. However my chocolate hazelnut juice gunked it up enough to burn the wicks in just one tank. The choco/hazelnut juice is very dark, thick and sweet.

I dry burn my protank heads every 5-6 tanks with lighter juice, 3-4 with dark juice. It all depends. If you dry burn them properly, a head could last multiple weeks, but they're cheap to replace, anyways.
Agreed and I rebuild mine now anyways.
I will be honest that choco hazelnut juice was so bad it wouldn't dry burn. It literally gunked up so bad it fried the wicks in less than one tank.
Damn, even my absinthe won't do that. Although it does gunk up fast, it comes off with some burning.
pick up some thin silica wick to occasionally replace the Flavor wicks. They tend to fall apart after removing a few times. Cheap way to keep the original performing longer. A good dry burn will usually clean up the coil wick.
