How long can you use a coil head before throwing it out?

Everyone vapes differently, and so there is no one right answer. Suffice to say, if you feel like it might be time to change the coil, you're probably right. Less vapor, less flavor, bad/burnt flavor, these are all indications that it might be time.
depends on how much you vape, the type of juice you use, the watts you are set at, the ohms of the coils used... could be anywhere from 2-3 days to a few weeks...
Yup. If you have a steamer basket, fill the pan to cover the coils in the basket and boil. Makes getting them out of the pan easier and saves burned fingers.
Mine usually last me anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months. I will say I really like the new Kanger OCC coils. Their a much better improvement from the older ones and I didn't think those were too bad.
sure; you can put the coil head in a teacup and pour hot water on it and let soak for a while.
if it's silica wick you can dryburn it.
if its cotton wick you can rewick.
For me their good until I get a burnt taste. Then I gotta change it. lol. I take good care of mine. I usually clean my vape out every time I switch juices. Though sometimes I get lazy or really busy lol
Just replaced a coil I built at the end of August. Rebuilding is simply the best way to control the quality of my vape!
It does depend on what wick and device--plus liquid and vaping style and a ton of other things.
I'm a low wattage vaper, never push the wicks, and get around 25 ml out of my rayon wicks before needing to rewick.
Which is another point...you never really need to throw them out. Remove the wick, dry burn, and replace it with new wicking, and your coil heads can last months. Rewire when that finally goes and the heads themselves are practically immortal. I've been using the same set for years.

What kind of heads are you getting and for what type of tank? Back when I was buying various coils replacement heads, I could go months on a single head, BUT that was with frequent cleaning and dry burning the silica based wick clean. If you are using new ni200 or T1 based heads with cotton wicks then the old methods aren't going to work. You are going to have to use different cleaning procedures.
I use them till they do not vape as good. Usually turn the heat up a couple times. Once they are burnt taste they are done. Don't throw them out, go you Utube and look at rebuilding them and they will be better than new ones. If they are the Atlantis style or eGo One style verticals they are the easiest to rebuild. Wife's I change out her coils every two or three days. Mine usually about the same unless I am testing to see how long my rebuilds will last. CHEERS!
Yeah this is what I have been doing on my "head" systems like the old ARO's. I have 3 of them I use at work and have only used 4 total heads over the last 2 years. 2 of them are still the original heads that I have been recoiling and rewicking the whole time (about 20 rewicks per recoil). One of the original heads physically split in half so it was replaced with the 4th head and that is still going strong.
All depends on your tank and coil and how you vape it. Also the kind of juice you vape.....for instance I only use rba coils I also like dark juice so i rewick coils daily for the best flavor
Just my two cents, but with the gov dogs barking at the gate (FDA Regs), I'd be learning how to build and maintain an RBA. Just sayin'.
I have said before, the wires, wicks, and that kind of stuff cannot be touched by the government because they have too many other uses. The devices maybe, but that will likely be fairly easy to get around even if you have to build your own "flashlight". The real issue is going to be the liquid.
