Subtank OCC life span?

Depending on use of course, I find that assembled coils have a lifespan of anywhere from 4-10 days. With a rebuild-able, the lifespan depends on the complexity of the coil.
Ugh, I hate the phrase vapors tongue. Blow your nose, not your tongue 
Personally I find that at lower heat levels and puffing they can last quite awhile. I still have one OCC kicking after almost a month. It's getting a tad slower to heat up now so it's almost done, but the flavor is still pretty decent. I imagine I could extend it some if I upped the wattage though.
I usually run 30w at the high side and the average OCC is about like Margate69 says Week to a week and a half before it starts to taste off and take too long to burn.

That can vary depending on many factors. The quality of prebuilt factory assembled coils can be spotty. Some prebuilt coils are total duds. Coils are finicky things, and these companies make them by the millions. Just open up a few prebuilt heads some time, and you will see that the quality of the coils is not consistent. In Kangers defense, no companies are. And then it depends on the flavorings and vg/pg ratio of your juices, and how much you vape, and at what wattages. I build all of my own coils these days, but when I used to use prebuilts at around 30 watts, 3 mil of liquid a day, I could get around a month or two of use out of a good coil.
I use a Kanger subtank with a 0.5 coil. I vape at 20 to 22.5 watts. I get about 70 to 75 mils through a coil before I have to change it out.
I have a 50 mil bottle that I use for a measure device. I empty it and refill from my main supply and I get about a bottle and a half through a coil. I know its not scientific but, there it is.

Wow! 3 ml's a day. The subtank plus is 7ml I believe, and I thought I was going overboard with almost 1/3 of the tank per day which is about 2.5ml. I guess I'm about regular with my intake.
Whenever you feel out of control with vaping 2.5-3ml, give the first three pages of this thread a read. Some fellas draining around 30-45ml a day.
How many watts are you at when vaping?
Mine gave way after about 2-3 days. Then I decided to ditch it for the rba deck.
It depends mostly on juice. Sweet, dark juices are the worst. With unflavored juice coil can go for a very long time.
My SubTank factory coils last me 2-3 weeks, but I don't vape very many sweet juices in them. I go through 20-25 mls a day in the SubTank and that's not counting what I vape in my Aerotank Mega and what I drip. Guess that puts me at pretty heavy usage!
At 3 ml a day I'm considered a lite vaper here on ECF. I actually vape about half a subtank mini tank of juice during the work week, so I'm closer to 2 ml a day Monday-Friday.
