Depends on the wire, with regular kanthal I've used a build for several weeks, nichrome80 doesn't seems to last as long to me vs kanthal, ni200 can get mangled easily re-wicking so I've had that last the least amount of time for me, Ti can last a long time if you clean it when you rewick, I have only been using SS430 since yesterday, so I'm not sure how long that will hold up. YMMV depending on your build, and juice.

I'll usually just re-wick the Gmini about once a week (I don't use the Gmini exclusively), probably 50-60Mls through it, or when I want to change flavors.

So guys I've switched to a RTA. So for heavy vapers,how long is the estimated coil burnt?

I have had a coil last for three months. Once the vape tastes off I pull out the cotton and dry burn the coil and rewick. I rewick every 3-4 fills of the tank.

U mean even when your coil is black it still wont taste funny?

I said that I pull the cotton wick out of the coil. Then I put the base on my battery to dry burn the coil to burn the gunk off of it. Then put a fresh cotton wick in the coil. And fill the tank with ejuice.

Doing this you have a clean wick, and a burned clean coil so no it doesn't taste off.

If I damage the coil removing the wick or it is not firing correctly I put in a fresh coil but most of the time I dry burn and insert a new wick.

If the taste was off I would install a new coil.

I change coils when they look less than ideal. It depends on juice and usage, but generally once a month. Sometimes sooner and sometimes I can go longer. I'm not going to scrub my coils all the time when it takes 2 minutes to put new ones in :)

You're lucky. With my duprodens contracture in three fingers installing a coil in a Kayfun without post holes it takes me a good 10-15 minutes to trap the leads under the screw heads.

Yep, and eventually I'll be in your boat. I have a DP contracture in my right hand. Its near the top of the main tendon for my middle finger. It got smaller and hasn't done anything for about 2 years now. I don't know what its future plans are :)

My fingers are healthy and it used to take me at least that long. No matter what I did I always wished I had a third hand, until I picked up screws that were flat. Made things easier, but still far from perfect. I'll take a tiny deck like the Goblin's over a Kayfun any day. Watching videos of people rebuilding a Kayfun in five minutes from start to finish used to really piss me off.

Very sorry to hear that Roxy. DC is no fun. My Duprodens Contracture was caused by my 12 pound fierce Min Pin Moku.

I was getting over a broken arm and my arm was still very weak. To control Moku's field of movement I was holding the leash over the back of my left hand. Moku took off like a bat out of hell. The leash slid up my very weak left arm over my hand and got trapped under a ring and within a week or 10 days my middle ring and little fingers were curled up into a permanent half fist.

So technically I have 1 1/2 hands. This problem is often called Duprodens Contracture or Viking hand.

There IS ONE positive. At least my hand doesn't hurt until I have to force those fingers open to trim the finger nails. But allow them to close again and the pain goes away in a little while.

Former senator BOB Dole had DC from an injury in the military.

Yes when you technically have 1 1/2 hands trapping leads under screw heads is a real PITA.

If the Kayfun 3.1 had a bottom fill port and kept the post holes I would be one happy little Bear.

I don't know why I have it. Just one day there was a pea sized lump on my palm. Mine does cause pain even though they usually don't. Might be heredity...my grandmother has it.

Be glad you don't have my dog. She's a 100lb Cane Corso.

my DC causes zero pain until my fingernails start digging in my palm. Then a lot of pain to force the fingers open enough to cut the nails.
