How do I know when to swap out heads?

[avaholic]

Been using the same head that came with my eVic. Has about 2 months of use on it. Every thing is still working perfectly, great amount of vape, still tons of flavor.... ive purchased 3 extras, but haven't switched it at all

I guess I just want to know if the one I got was just a monster one that wont break lol. How often do you change them and how do you know when it's time to change it?

Good possibility I'm using the wrong terms. I'm talking about the piece with coil/wick in it.

Oh damn and I didnt even mention that I'm talking about the ProTank 2. Whoops

I hope that you mentioning it hasn't jinxed it.

Remarkable lifespan, longest I ever get is a couple of weeks (juice dependent).

I guess I just don't understand how you know when it's time? Like I said everything is going great and still getting great vape/flavor. I'm probably going to switch it out just to make sure I haven't "adjusted" and just think that it's great.

But all my friends that vape are still really impressed with my pt2/evic combo and haven't mentioned any negatives. So im assuming its still good to go

There will be no doubt when it goes bad. Vapor production way, way down as the coil gets covered with black gunk. Dry burn will not resurrect it, taste is off.

You'll know. I hope you keep using it to see just how long it lasts.

It sounds like you got a BIG winner!!!!!!!! I'd like to know how long it last you also. I like my Pro Tanks and Evic. But then I like all my mods and toys.

Well I guess I'll keep going until I get a definite sign that it's bad.

Im on right at two months. And I really don't think it's a mind trick because I just took my friend down to the local store and we got him a regular battery with a pt mini, put the same juice in it and it tastes the same.

Side note: that's referral number 14, trying to convert all of my people lol.

Swapped out a fresh one today because I had some free time and was bored. Was definitely clogged up with that black stuff, but imo it was still usable. Great production and flavor wasn't bad.

On the other hand you really taste the ummmmm, cleanliness? Lol

Watched a few videos as I was taking it apart, absolutely going to start rebuilding them. I know it's cheap but hey an extra $5 every few weeks could be juice!

I usually do coil rebuilds every other week, I'm waiting for my wires from Temco cause I ran out, been vaping on old coils for the past two weeks... Pulled the trigger on Temco way too late...

For now, just been swapping out my cotton every few days. They last one to two weeks, but I've been swapping them out because of change of juice flavors...

The same for me. I have one juice that gets a couple of weeks on a coil assembly. Other juices maybe 2 days of heavy hitting and they're done. YMMV depending on juice and vape frequency.

I dropped my pt2 at work today!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glass obviously is done for

Well that's the nice thing about the PT2 you can replace the glass. The PT1 you'd have to replace the whole thing.

Try recoil using micro coil method and you will surely get more amount of wape and tastier juice, I just tried micro coiling method on my protank II about a month ago and that will be my preference of coiling now.

My Method:-

Using 32 gauge kenthal wire wrap 8 wraps to 1.5mm diameter pull through a 1.5mm silica wick and lay 1 2mm silica wick as flavour wick, it should tunes out an 1.8 - 2.0 ohms and the sweet spot should be around 4.8 watts to 5.4 watts and the 2600mah 18650 2600mah battery can last me 2.5 to 3 days of waping but for the micro coil can last the most is 10 days or maximum 14 days.

Happy trying.....
