Which is best for my coil?
Higher voltage and short burns
or Lower voltage and long burns

I couldn't help but notice a lack of responses to your question. Perhaps including information on what gear you are using and what you want to accomplish might make it easier to respond.

Based on what is provided, to lengthen the life of your coils, I would suggest lower power with short burns and work up from there to where you like your vape. Then decide if the added life of the coil is worth a less satisfying vape. Sorry, that's the best I got.

Rather hard to answer such a generic question with so little info. Higher voltage is ok, as long as you don't burn or dryhit your coil. And as a general rule, the more juice evaporates, the more gunk will form on your coil, aslo greatly depending on what kind of juice an flavors you use.

I can however imagine that long hits at lower voltages could cause your juice not to evaporate enough, making your coil flood or leak. But then you'd notice soon enough.

all depends on the coil... and the wick.. a thin gauge wire (coil) at a high voltage will have a tendancy to dry the surface of the wick faster and result in a dry hit... and if you are using rayon, the wick will collapse quicker at higher temps. lower temps/volts will keep the wick moist but wont offer a full bodied vape...

I find that hi heat hi temp setups also cause the coil to gunk up alot faster than lower temp options...

@Danny Shipley What device/tank/coil are you using? more info for us will help to give you a better answer

Thickness of the wire makes a huge difference. Thicker gauge wire takes more power and longer time to heat up. Thinner wire will heat up and vape very quickly with lower wattage.

I'm using a normal shisha pen , 3.3 - 4.8 v the battery can go
