How Often...

[NotoriousJDP]

How often should I be rebuilding and changing my coils in an rda? I am a moderately heavy vaper...I probably go through 4 mls a day and I've been using this exclusively.

A few things are factors, but generally recoil when you get an off taste or drop in performance.
What kind of wick are you running?

 

[NotoriousJDP]

Im using silica and kanthal at 1.7ohms.

Ditto what DoogieTony said. I usually re-wick mine either when I'm changing from one type of flavor to another (fruit to bakery, for example), or when it just starts to taste funky. If re-wicking doesn't help, I build a new coil. If it's not performing as well as it should, I rebuild. Sometimes a coil and wick will last me several days, sometimes only a few hours (I go through probably 2-4mL a day dripping). That's with cotton at 2.0ohm, though, so with silica YMMV. When in doubt, it doesn't hurt to rebuild.

I change my coils when they stop performing to my standards. Sometimes that's a week other times it's months between changes.

im with the others, i rinse and dry burn every day and replace when they stop performing well. could be 5 days could be 2 weeks.

I find it also depends on the juice. Sweeter juices tend to spoil my coils faster. That being said, I've had a good coil last a very long time. A ceramic wick in a Genesis style RBA is a glorious thing.
