How much juice are you getting through your ProTank coils, before they burn out??

Hey guys, I'm asking because I already burned out my 1st ProTank head after only having the ProTank for 5 days (since Sunday night).. I probably refilled it about 6 times, and I refill when it's about 1/5 full.. How many times can you usually refill your ProTank before getting a burnt taste and having to change the coil?

I've been using the standard-res 2.5ohm PT-head that comes with the kit. I usually like low-res (1.8ohm) coils on my VV battery, but have been enjoying the standard 2.5ohm protank head at about 4.3volts (about 7.5watts). I'd like to try a 1.8ohm coil, but ivape.net accidentally gave me the 2.5ohm EVOD replacement coils when I ordered the 1.8s..

I started getting the classic 'burnt' taste about 2 days ago, which I thought was unusual with how new it is.. I cleaned and dry-burned (which is very easy btw, you can dry-burn the coil alone on your battery without the tank attached), and squeezed a couple more days of life out of it until today.

Now I can't get rid of the burnt taste at all, so I put my brand new 2.5ohm EVOD coil on the ProTank a few hours ago. I do enjoy the tighter draw from the evod-head more than the pt-heads, it may mute my flavor just a tad, but that's not the issue here.
.... These ProTank coils are expensive ($8 a five-pack)! It would be great if I could get at least 10 days or 2 weeks out of them. Other than that though I love the ProTank, it's a fog machine - great thick vapor and excellent flavor :D

Thanks in advance!!

Haven't burnt one out yet. One has been going daily for over two weeks with 70/30 RY4. I clean the tank very 3 or 4 days. After rinsing, the coil shows no build up really so doesn't even need to be dry burned. Another that I use a thicker, darker 50/50 juice in that sees about a third of the use the other tank I mentioned, gets cleaned about once a week and does need to be dry burned (a few 2 or three second burns until the crud will rinse off under faucet pressure. I also don't vape above 6.5 watts or so as I start getting a burnt taste pretty frequently above that.
