What's your longest running coil build?

I was wondering what y'alls best longest running coil builds are. I have a 1.5ohm single kanthal micro coil in my taifun gt2 that has been in there well over a year and still runs as good as the first day I built it with dry burning and rewicking of course.

LOL! I can't seem to leave a coil alone long enuf to put any age on it. I think I'm finally there tho. I've been back and forth between KA1 and SS316L, from .4 to 2.4Ω single wire 28 and 30awg. Think I've just finally settled in at 1.5Ω SS316L 30awg. Maybe now I'll find out how long they last.

ss316 in tc with diy juice (no sweetener) I dry burn 2 or 3 times when re-wicking then rebuild when it doesn't clean up enough to look like fresh pulsed stainless anymore. I build far lower ohms than either of you though. This means a coil lasts me 3 - 6 months using rayon wick vaping 100 - 150ml juice between re-wicks with 5 - 7 mods in daily rotation.

Haha I've tried a lot of SS316l builds prob my favorite was a Clapton I made with 26/32g. I put that in my cleito rba and haven't messed with it since been running that one about 6 months now and it still works great. Also as a side note my cleito matched with my ijoy asolo is the only setup I can run completely dry and still get 20+ dtl pulls off of with that SS Clapton in it

I do tend to build in the .2-.4 ohm range on my drippers and tanks. I just used my 1.5ohm as a good example of coil longevity. Most of my builds last maybe a month with heavy use of pretty sweet juice before being rebuilt. Also I was never really a big fan of rayon I like my native wicks and good old Japanese cotton pads

Gosh.... I can't remember the last time I popped a coil. I usually get bored and then switch out to a different ohm. Or maybe play around between .5 single coil or .5 dual coil (Probably my favorite ohm build.) Doesn't matter if Kanthal or SS.

Back in the day, I did have a 306 atty that lasted for at least a year and that was with dry burning/refreshing the silica wick every couple of days.
