Sorry if this is posted before but I tried searching and couldn't come up with anything. Some questions too.

I vape about 6ml a day and chain vape. New to rbas so I thought I'd ask to see what the consensus is.

I know the zen website says the wicks last a month but this could vary according to usage. How long would the coil generally last? I noticed my old kangers would be toast after a week of heavy vaping and they said it should last a month as well.

Would I replacing the coil more frequently than the wick? How would I know when to replace the coil? Does it just pop and snap so you know it done?

Many thanks

With out going into too much detail I would say the build on your zap should last way longer than a kanger.

Mils through an Genesis before rebuilding depends on a lot of things: type of wire (twisted, ribbon, solid round, ect.), mesh/ wick, juice, volts vaped at, but most of all "need to tinker".

I run at least 4 mils a day through my main set up; prob mess with the coil ~ every 2 weeks. Or, I want to try a new setup (mesh, wire or different wrap) and tear a perfectly good coil out:D

even if you burn out the coil or screw it up the wick should last well over a month. easy.

usually most people change the coil to avoid the sudden down time IF it pops. more maintenance then - it has to be done. with reg dry burns it can last quit a long time. but your using 6 cents worth of wire not quit the same as tossing a 3 dollar head.
