signs your clearomizer needs head surgery

[vapero]

sorry if this has been asked and answered before, I couldn't find it.
I have 2 evods one for 3 months and another for 1. I dry burn them every 2-3 tanks and replace the flavor wicks with cotton. but I have a question when is it time to replace the head??
I'm still getting a good taste and vapor production on them but let me put it in an analogy here...

"my previous car was working perfectly after 5 years of use, I has happy and didn't think that I needed an upgrade but then I had to drive a friends car (same make and model but new) and wow! I notices that my breaks needed to be pressed harder to work, the power or torque was great, there was no wiggly sounds on the inside (didn't noticed them before on mine)... to make the story short i changed my car that year"

so have i grown accustomed to a diminished old age dying evod? how do I know?

If it still tastes good and vapes fine, there's no need to replace the head. If you keep getting a burnt taste, then you might want to replace it. juice will gunk up the head but dry burning usually clears that off. You'll know when it's time.

I change mine every week...I mean they are like 1.50 a piece and If I get a week outta of them i got my moneys worth. I do clean and save my old ones in case I come into hard times but as long as I can buy 5 for at 6 bucks Im gonna change them once a week. Nothing like a fresh atomizer!

well here in mexico each head is 5 bucks and each evod is 16 bucks that why I'm milking them as much as I can before I go pick my replacements in a couple of weeks in USA

if you are properly cleaning, dry burning and putting on new flavor wicks every so often you can vape it til it either quits working or the taste is off

most coils really have way more life in them than most people here realize...i've got a vivi nova head i've been using for three months...i clean it once every 3 tanks...its fine

If it tastes like you are vaping a dirty sock, it's time.

Maybe get some wire and wick (or cotton, or...) and start recoiling your old ones as well as having a stash of new ones.
