I have two Kayfun 3.1 EH Pro clones that I have set up with a 2.1 ohm micro coil and cotton wicking. They stay at home most of the time so Irun at most 4 ml of juice thru them weekly. How often should I change out thewicking and dry burn the coils.

I probably go somewhere around 20-25ml before I pull the cotton and dryburn.
Chas F. Ultra Member ECF Veteran
I would say it depends on the liquid and how hot you vape. I vape coffee liquids for the most part and usually run 5-6 ml before I do a dry burn and re-wick but my liquids are hard on wicks so ymmv.

I just got my first kayfun 2 days ago. I went through almost 8ml since and changed the cotton just now, mainly to see how easy it would be. I didn't have any burning taste or degradation of flavor at all except when I was trying to get the last few drops of juice out before opening it up.

Let the vape tell you. You'll notice a decrease in flavor, vape and wicking potential. A lot depends on the build, ohms of your coil, and watts vaped at. Most of my cotton wick builds I can get 1 to 3 weeks off of heavy vaping of 8 ml a day. Some I'll do on a weekly basis others can go 2-3 weeks.

I change mine when I start to notice a difference in flavor or vape quality. Cotton is cheap enough so change it as often as you want.

I'm new to RBAs. Im using a Kangertech subtank, the regular sized one not the mini. How do I know when its time to change the cotton and coils. About how often do they last? How often do I change the coils? What happens to the coils over time that leads them to be changed? What changes happen to the cotton that leads it to be changed?

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.

U know that u have to replace the cotton after the vapor starts to taste burnt even when soaked with juice. Usually with frequent use for me I have to replace cotton about every few days to each week or when I change flavors. Coils are a different story they take much longer to need replacing up to a month or two.

I've played around with this idea a little. I have an opinion about it I'd like to share mostly because I want to find out if I'm missing anything or if there is more I could learn about it. In general I believe the following to be true:

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.
