hi all, I'm wondering how long your coils last on your mini vivi novas? I know this is dependent on usage and other things but just wondering. I switch between the mvvn and t2 often and both are sharing the load of use 50/50. My mvvn is over a month old, used daily and still on my first coil. I clean the coil probably once a week or so and have only done one dry burn which was a few days ago. The dry burn took awhile as it was pretty dirty. vaping like a champ again. not sure when this coil will pooch.

Going on 3 months with the 2.4, used daily at least 3 mls per day. Cleaned/Dry burned every other day and I think the wicks are going to go before the coil pops (actually have been losing some strands in the last couple weeks).

But yeah works great, switched in a new head last week to see if my old one was losing flavor etc. but couldnt tell a difference so I popped the old one back in.

Now that I know how to rebuild my wick/coils on my Mini Vivi, Redux, and Vision rebuildables, I've been running a coil 2-3 weeks before swapping.

During the day I run standard 3.3V with an Ego-T, sometimes switching to 3.7 "unregulated" mode, gives good results.

I would estimate I could stretch the timeframe by at least double if I had to, longer if I had 2-3 in rotation. The ease of rebuilding 3-4 coils once every 2 weeks has been lovely.

nice. I'm seeing similar with my T2 coils and thinking its probably due to regular cleaning and maybe using standard voltages you get from ego type batteries and not running them at higher voltages. These coils are not expensive to change but I'm liking how long my spares box stays stocked!

Yea I should have said what I was using. Using a Twist with the Vivi between 4.0-4.3V, and FWIW I always dry burn on the lowest voltage which is 3.2. I could probably stretch out the cleaning/burning another day if I wasnt using 100%vg juice.
