Cotton changes

[mreeveshp]

Just curious how long you go between cotton changes on your rda.

I know this is juice dependent if it has more or less sugars. But in general what is your average between changes. Also do you change the wire every time or clean it a few times then change it. And last do you think higher nic juice is any harder than lower nic

Thanks

Average once a week for cotton change

When making my own Coils I’ll clean and re-use several times before chucking in a fresh pair

I switch out my cotton about every 4 or 5 days. Since I use about 4 flavors during the day, I have 4 mods in use that I do that to. During that time, I clean the coils before installing the new cotton. So, it can be a time consuming 1 or 2 hours when I do this procedure.
I usually get about a month out of the coils before I have to put new ones in. So that is a task I leave for a Saturday afternoon while watching TV.

I change my wicks out usually every 2-3 days but I also change out flavors back and forth on rta's. Rda's it's not quite as bad, maybe 3-4 days. Either way it's cheap so not bothered by wick swaps.

For the coil, I pulse/dry fire and rinse with water, pulse again to dry it and rewick. Unless I'm trying out a new coil build or something I leave my actual coils in and reuse them, last one I used daily lasted me 3mo. Coils are cheap when building them myself but so long as it's working well I figure why waste it.

Haven't noticed any difference in nicotine levels on coils or wicks, mostly to do with the sweetness of the juice. Sweeter juices tend to caramelize and gunk up on the coil, even though the wick is fine if the coil is gunked it tastes nasty to me so I yank the wick to clean the coil.

Depending on juice and build...... 4 hours to 2 weeks but average is 2-3 day per wick.

About 3 days on average... a few days longer if I'm using a staple staggered fused clapton build.

So long as I don't use a peanut butter flavor, 4-5 days. If I'm using peanut butter, it lasts until I get sick of peanut butter.

Wicks are like diapers...you only change them when absolutely necessary.

I only rewick once every week or two since starting diy, I usually have 3-5 setups going daily. When using commercial juices every 2-3 dats and I dry burn and brush coils every time I change wicks. Even if doing all of them at once only takes about 30 minutes.

I'm changing the wick, at least when the coil(s) is/are gunked up, thus doing a dry burn, and cleaning the coil(s) first. Quality coil(s) can last for months.

2-3 days as well.

i change my cotton in all my, rda's rdta's and rta's almoast daily.
maybe a little overkill, but i like to do it and it keeps it fresh

I rewick and maybe recoil between 40-60 ml of juice.

Average once a week on rewicking - coils can last for months if maintained weekly
