Why one a week? They don't wear out, I have used the same ss wick for three months and it is as good as new. Just wash wrap a new coil on it and reuse. I got two sheets of 15cm by 15cm and it will probably be all I will ever use.
I know the g-tank-us and the BFG is taking a lot of the space here, but after seeing asdaq's mod with the micro-g I beginning to wonder how much it would be to make a small run of those for myself and some friends. I can see myself taking the micro-g and a preciseplus10440 (or 14500 if Dave decides to make one) to black tie events. Classy!
I'm looking forward to these BFG's Dan they look super !!! nice job well done so far on these I'm definitely in for 2 BFG's
I tend to not spend time scrubbing something that costs less than a gum ball to replace.

I thought that the coils lasted a long time...
So, how long do they last?

I know they don't hold a lot of liquid.....but there are many places that would come in handy.....bars, planes, restaurants....etc I have been interested in one or two since he made them.
What would be a good no-resistance wire for running a dual coil/wick on the SG3? I have two wicks ready to go in it.....just not sure the Silver wire I have is best choice....
You only have to wash it about every 5th coil and it is not the money it's the PIA to oxidize a new one each time.
I understand this will vary by setup, but 4-5 days sounds like a pretty short lifespan. I've had the same coil now for around 3 weeks and it even survived removing a coil to reduce resistance. If it's setup properly, and not glowing regularly, why would a coil break after 4-5 days?
I replace coils every week or so, they would probably last longer but I like keeping the coils fresh... it costs about 2 cents to replace them, and it takes less than a minute to change, so why not!
There was a comment about it being a PITA to oxidize the wick... something is up there... because I can make a whole new wick and oxidize it in 5 minutes or less.
I think it's like anything else... once you know how to do it correctly, there's nothing difficult or time consuming about it.
my g-tank'a coil is more than a month old already. 1.8ohm on my ggts or my evercool mod@4.2v.
just rinse with hot water every other day with about 4 fills a day. still vapes like day 1.
how did you manage to kill it in 4-5 days?

I tinker a lot on my A2, same coil will be used for dripping for a few hour at 6v then with the cart at 5.4v then back to dripping, I vape very heavy 16 hours a day.
I make my coils from 32ga kanthal a-1 they last months. To clean I just dry burn and dunk in water while still glowing red. This flashes off most of the gunk in one shot. If it is not tasting right then I take the wick out and burn it up good with a torch then dry burn the coil with no wick. Everything turns to ash and falls off. Refill and it's all like new again.
Gotta love kanthal a-1, it can take some serious abuse. I do these extreme cleanings on purpose to see just how far I can push this stuff before it breaks. 1 ohm coils at 3.7V get HOT and I still haven't popped even one single coil yet.
