Wick & Coil lifespan

[lefstep]

I'm using the Did and have been changing the SS wick and coil about every month. I've noticed with synthetic liquids the mesh will gunk up so bad after the first 2 weeks that it's very hard to get a decent draw. With organic liquids the mesh doesn't get no where near as bad. Before I switched to organic/ natural liquids, I was having to change the mesh just about every 3 weeks due to clogging. Cleaning the mesh seemed to help a little but not enough. I think some of this has to do with what kind of liquid, mesh, coil, and the amount of resistance etc. but was wandering how long everyone else waits until changing it all out ? This might have been discussed many times already but thought it would be interesting nonetheless.

wow, once a month seems pretty awesome to me!!

On my lil Pheonix I can usually go about a month.

On the G-tank (ss wick) at a lil over a week it starts to get a lil too gunked up for me and I change the coil, running the same wick for the past 3 coils without issue.

On my bliSS (DiD style rebuildable, top coil/bottom tank) I've been about a week on this coil and so far it has no signs of letting up.

I bet I could go a lot longer on these but I'm afraid my ole taste buds have become real sensitive to "optimum" taste and so I switch coils earlier than most might.
