They seem to work forever. Dry burn, strum, clean. Good as new. Why even replace it? Do they break?

When & why should I change my coils?
- Thread starter Matty Vapes
- Start date
They will eventually just fade in performance and flavor over time. They wont break unless you're downright violent with them.

I replace mine when they look weird lol. I'm not good with metals and coil knowledge, and just like you I always wondered why/when too replace?
I buy my stuff from AVS and never noticed a lack of flavor, even after one of my coils were used for over 2 months on a daily basis. And not just lightly lol.
But one day I noticed they looked a bit brownish, even after dry burning them. I never get my coils orange or super red, just slightly glowing, so I thought it might be time to replace. keep in mind tho, I do clean my coils quite frequently, flavor was still spot on tho, but I guess if you not like me with extremely ocd you could have used them longer, or replace earlier.

Yeah I vaguely remember changing coils once before cause they were "brownish' that would be a good indicator lol it's just been so long these ones just keep ticking.

I use simple coils and replace them whenever I clean the atty, I could go longer but single wire coils are ridiculously inexpensive to make and my vape is always a nice clean experience as a result.
Depends on the material and wire thickness. A thinner wire will wear down quicker than thicker wire.
I'm not very good about coil maintenance.
3 to 4 months on a rda re-wicking about every 10 days and on a genesis tank coil and wick about once a year unless I'm bored.
This hadn't been cleaned in 8 or 9 tank fulls. Cleaned today and vaping it now.
LMAO I'm still half newb!!!
I replace coils when I want something different.....
FWIW I find slightly dirty or stained coils produce best flavor.... more likely to taste wire or wick when wire is clean.

Well, I mix two juices (10mg nic) at a time and have two identical tanks. Single wire, 27 ga SS430, two coils per tank, KGD for wicking.
Every Saturday, my lovely coil assistant makes 4 coils and wicks then changes them out. I always notice a difference in the taste afterwards. Depending on the type juice I made (custard, fruity, single flavor, ethyl maltol in it) the coils can be down right gunky.
Since I can't even calculate the cost of 4 of these simple coils, and the lovely coil assistant likes to do it, why not?
If I were using more costly premade coils, I'd clean the coils and rewick on the same schedule.
Factory made coils? When I used to use them I'd vape them until they died.

If you are:
Oh, if you are paying the high dollar for others to coil for you.... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahahahaha..
<gasp> that Said, sure: I might buy a Custom Coil - but I'd rather buy primers.
- curious
- "bored"
- irked
- otherwise peeved...

I've been using the set of fused Claptons for almost a year. They will last a long time if you take decent care of them. They might not get changed for another year yet, who knows.
