Hello, I am a new vaper, I started 3 months ago. My problem is that I haven't found a good mod for me. Currently I have an itaste vv with a protank 3 and it seems that I have to change the coil every 5 or 7 days. Am I doing something wrong? I think is not a problem with the battery but with the clearomizer. Could you give me some advise? Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to ecf.
Are you using dark ejuices? Those will tend to gum up quicker than clear liquids do. Have you tried cleaning them before throwing them out to see if you can re-use them?

Hi and welcome to ECF Mercurio
If they are not badly gunked up then a hot water rinse may help or you can pull it apart, remove the flavor wick and dry burn the coil if you know how?
Then you'll need a new flavor wick tho' so if you don't have any thing for that then I don't know; I think 5 to 7 days is fairly normal for a head tho'.

What ohm are your clearomizers? Are you vaping them at a high voltage or wattage? if so, this could cause them to burn out quickly or at a quicker rate.
You may pull back to a protank 2 as well the protank 3 is a dual coil and has has issues from what I've read blowing threw coils
Hi Mercurio. A quick rinse in hot running water every refill will help a lot. Remember that all coils are consumable and you will always have to replace them all eventually.
Do you know what resistance they are and when you say default voltage, what do you mean?
Too low of a voltage is more damaging in many ways than too high as the juice will not vaporize completely quick enough and will gunk up your coils faster than too high voltage. I use a rule of 2, so if my coil head is 1.8ohms, I will start to vape it around 3.8-4.0 volts and adjust for flavor from there.

I go through just under 2 tanks a day in my protanks and I need to replace (I actually rebuild them myself) them about every 4-6 days.
It is mainly the amount of eliquid you use to determine the life of the coil although sweet and or dark eliquids will certainly gunk them up quicker
My experience is the heads last about 25-30 ml of eliquid (same for a friend of mine) this held true for my vivi nova heads also

When I say default voltage I mean 3.8 is the factory default value for itaste vv.
5 to 7 days is actually not bad for Protank coils. Mine only last longer because I pull them apart and do a dry burn at every refill.
This exact issue is what pushed me into the mechanical and rba/hobby aspect of vaping. I would chief through a coil every 2 days in my old protank... Cartomizers lasted longer for me though.
I don't get it. With some routine cleaning and maintenance, I could have a head last me a month or more... even vaping darker juices.
