When do you change the coil on your vape?

It depends on how much you Vape and what wattage do you prefer for vaping. For me, 10 day is max with a coil. And you should change cotton every day or every two days. It tastes fresh that way. Try dry burning your coil every 3 days and do not dry burn more than 3 times. 9.3K views View upvotes Related Answer Quora User

Allllllllllllllllllllll the damn time. I don't even know man. I have a obsession to keep doing them and wicking methods.

Derack Moved On

just change the wick and dry burn the coil till it burns all the gunk off.I usually pulse the button when i dry burn and dont let it get too hot because It can burn ur insulator and it will pop a 28 guage coil at .3 ohms if you hold it down too long (from my experience).I've been running the same .3 ohm coil for about 2.5 months now.I usually take the wick out and dry burn it about once every 4-5 days.If you are using a heavy VG juice you might have to change it every day or every other day..

When you get that taste, you general need to at least dry burn your coil. If you use cotton or another organic that can't take a burn, you'll have to remove it first to do that.

KGD was once a day. Rayon is every 4 or 5 days. Readywick once every couple of months if not longer.

I agree with changing the wick when you receive a bad taste but the coils last forever. As long as my coil burns from the inside out when I dry burn...........I keep using them. I literally go months on the same coil. Each time I dry burn I also check the resistance. Good luck to you. Now I could be doing something wrong, but it works for me.

Well if im using my drippers, every other day. If im using my gennys, once a month.

As an RBA and RTA user I can say that with a diy coil you only have to really change the cotton regularly. Just slide the cotton out of the coil, dry burn the coil and rewick.

For me, the risk of something going wrong -- even with the best of plans and intentions -- isn't worth it. If I want a coil that's cleaner than just a dry burn, I just build a new coil. Wire is cheap. Hospital bills are not.

Should you change your wick when you change flavors?

The wick definitely absorbs your e-liquid, so if you’re switching out flavors you’re likely going to get a bit of residual flavor from your previous juice.

What about dry herb and concentrate vapes?

Dry herb vaporizers don’t use wicks, since there is no liquid to absorb. But the coil (also known as the heating element) can degrade over time. Most manufacturers sell complete heating chambers for replacement. You can replace your heating chamber whenever you notice that the vapor quality and production is declining.
