I also go on taste. Some juices are hard on coils / wicks. Some are not. I've gone over a month without changing my Fogger V4+ build. I've also needed to change after a few days. Going by taste really is the simple answer.

bigger diameter coils hold more cotton, and more cotton makes it more sturdy and lasts longer. dry hits come before cotton is completely dry so cotton wont burn at all. just something i picked up on recently

I pick one day of the week to redo all my tanks. I clean them thoroughly (and the burn/wash coils), rebuild the coils if I need to, and change the wick.
I have 5 RBAs and 2 RDAs and swap them out at different points of the day to keep my taste fresh.
It doesn't bother me to do it, sort of like it.

Would recommend you periodically check your insulator on your Kayfun if you are running a .5ohm build ;)

As soon as it tastes bad. Simple answer, but thats about it.

It will taste bad/burnt.....time to change.
Before it gets bad/burnt taste you will notice a dropoff in flow rate and cloud density...usually means the cotton is gooping up from all the caramelized juice in the wick

A fresh cotton wick in my protank heads even at 6.5 watts, get good flavor and pretty good clouds...a week or so of heavy vaping and it starts tapering...if I keep pushing it...about another week and blarrrgh

On the big RBA or drippers...what Thunderball said
