Finally got my Aga T2 set up properly about a month ago. I vape it all the time at home and have gone through many, many tanks of juice. It seems to be still vaping like a champ and there doesn't appear to be gunk all over the wick and coil. I would've gone through maybe 3 or 4 rewicks on a vivi by now. How long does a wick and coil on a genesis style atty last you?

Got my T2 about a month ago as well. I'm on my second wick and third coil, but only because the 400ss and 32awg that it came with were kind of weak.

Started with hollow 400 and 32awg.

Second Wick and Coil was replacing hollow 400 with solid 500.

Third Coil was when I got my 30awg kanthal delivered.



Been vaping like a champ for 3 weeks now since all the fuss. If it starts tasting a bit odd I just give it a quick dry burn after I vape the tank dry and blow off the resulting ash if any forms.

I'm not sure if you'd need to replace the wick at all, once it's set up well. You may need to clean it though, and frequency of that depends on your juice. Some juices gunk up faster than others.

Coils should last a long time too, the thicker your wire, the longer it will last. I can see a 30ga coil lasting a month or so. 28ga would be longer.

Some of my gennys are @ 6 months on their wick & coil. Once it's working right, don't mess with success. :D

That's what I wanted to hear. I'm at 6 weeks with current wick and coil, but its hitting and working so good that I was hoping I could get another 6 week's out of it. I would have gone through $10 worth of cartos in this time.

I've gone easily a month with same wick & coil. Occasionally cleaning both under hot water after 2-3 tanks worth.

I vape unflavored almost exclusively & it tends to be kinder.

But recently I've been trying different coil setups so they've been averaging around a week before I set them aside & recoil.
