Lifespan of Vape Coils

When the Wick Replacement is Near
The first signs you will generally notice that your coil and wick are burning out is a lack of vapor production. If your vapor seems thinner, and you start missing elements of the flavor, it usually means that your coil and wick are no longer doing their job.
Changing Flavors
There is much debate over whether or not you need to change coils and wicks every time you change e-liquid flavors. Since the wick absorbs the liquid and carries it to the coils, it is impossible to completely rid your wick of the previous flavor when you switch to the new one.
Concentrate Vaporizers
The time between changing coils and wicks in your concentrate vaporizer will depend on the style of device you have. Some devices require you to place your concentrate or wax directly on the coil and then melt it down into the cavity.

I would like to know how long does it take before you need to rewick your RBA. Seems like I will need to do it after 2 tanks of juice but sometimes for certain juices after only 1 tank. Ater this point, the wick deteriorates fast and will have a burnt taste with increasing frequency of burnt hits.

How long do these tanks last you? I ran the subtank before i got the TFV4 and i would only only to rewick every other week I was using a 22g 7wrap just about .45ohms and would fire it around 50W just about what i do with my current tank. I go through roughly 2-3 tanks a day, now that i have switched to 6mg nic I have only go through 1-2 now.

Every 2 Tanks seems way to short to have to Re-Wick your Subtank RBA section at the Ohms/Watts you are using.
menace66 Full Member
Well... then I'm Not Sure why you are getting such a short amount of e-liquid before you have to Re-Wick?

Does seem that dessert flavors gunk up the coil faster than fruits. Also, spices simply can't handle higher wattage. I also chain vape and find that long sessions have a tendency to gunk up my coils much faster. I usually get about 8/9 tanks before I have to change my cotton, but had better luck with cotton bacon than with JOC.

Well for me.. using NET juices at less than 15 watts...... it depends on the wick material. For cotton/rayon I get 4-10ml of juice, for Stainless and Silica, I can use the same coil and wick until I get bored with the coil.

I have had my Subox mini for a couple of months no. Since The occ vehicle coils only last me 2-3 days, I started playing around with the RBA deck (with varying degrees of success). I've been using the wraps that come with the tank (which may be the problem) and I've only been able to wick it successfully once without it tasting burnt or cottony.
