How often do you have to rebuild your RBA?

I've been using my first wick and coil in my AGA-T2 for about 3 days now, and it's performing marvelously, but I'm wondering how long I can expect that to continue before I have to make another wick and recoil it. I did my first wick with 400# SS mesh and 64 ribbon wire. I'd like to think this arrangement will last me a couple weeks, but I'm not sure. I'm a serious chain vaper and went through Kanger Protank coils quite rapidly, using at least 4 a day.

So, under heavy use, how long should I expect a .8 ohm coil in a mech to last?

I rebuild mine about every 2 weeks if I use it heavily I dry burn it at the end of week 1 and go for a recoil on week 2

with mesh and ribbon you can go until the mesh wears out or the coil pops. i have had mesh wicks (with cleanings) go for well over a month. and even then cleaned them recoiled and kept going. as long as your not constantly vaping the coil red and burning the mesh, the mesh will last a while. you may have to do a quicky dry burn every few days to remove buildup on the coil but if done with care i still think a couple weeks is doable.
