There are several variables in coil life. One of them is the juice. Thicker juices, high VG juices, and very sweet juices tend to gunk them up faster. But even then, a good clean and dry burn, usually with also replacing the flavor wicks, generally restores them to like new, and can be done many times before actual coil failure.

I tend to clean about every 6 to 9 mls, and take off the chimney and flavor wicks then, to inspect the coil. If it looks gunked, I'll dry burn, otherwise just put in new flavor wicking, replace the chimney and call it good. (Cotton yarn, twine, or pulled out cotton balls works fine.)

Barring destruction by a tank cracking juice, or other mechanical problem, the tube will last a long time. Ever? Sure, stuff happens. Be prepared, have backups for everything, and backups for those.

Thanks! I'm not really sure how to change wicks. Could you send me a link to a good video for t3s?

I normally clean mine every 1 to 2 tanks. I've never had one go bad unless I mangled it somehow. The oldest is... 2 months? I soak in vodka and very occasionally I'll dry burn one. I've found it works best if you have several coils. I have about a dozen coils that rotate through the vodka soak so I've always got plenty that are ready to use. I normally go ahead and rinse my clearomizer out at this point. I have 6 of those so that gives the newly rinsed ones plenty of time to dry.
