Sweet nasty juice? Sure, 15 ml is quite possible, especially if you're picky. It comes down to the juice, the build, the tank, and most important you. There really is no single right answer on this.

Switch your wicking to Rayon (rayon Cellucotton from Sally's Beauty Supply) and it will last longer between changes. Some juices are just hard on wicks. Clear juices are the least offenders. Darker juices are usually the worst offenders.

A week is totally reasonable. Longer even. Me I change my wick every one or two days depending on what I’m vaping. I like a cleaner taste though.

I like to switch out a wick each time the tank empties. But, most of the time i simply can't be bothered. So, i found that after about two and a half tanks (11 mil - ish) i start getting bad tasting vapour. I put that down to the wick getting gunged up. True, clearer liquids do allow the wick to last longer though.
