dry burn question

I do that, or swap out wicking when the taste becomes a bit muted. But, I'm using rayon, previously cotton. For me, when I had stock coils, that would be about twice a week, sometimes more. I like sweet vapes and they tend to cause gunking a little faster.
Overall, if the flavor is less than "omg yum!" I was cleaning them.

Pretty much the same as Huckleberried with me also. I re-wick a two/three times a week if I am using the same flavor all week. It seems like the cotton (muji soon to be Ko Gen Do and rayon until I find what I like) gets to a point where there isn't much flavor and I have to drip more often, that's when I change it out.
Most of my mixes are 80/20 and some leave a lot more residue than others. Also, some flavors are just stronger so I don't notice the muted flavor as early. Still, I change flavors so often, I don't know how long it would take to have to clean the coils but I have gone through 60ml in the last week and haven't had to clean the coils.
I use high vg juice and re-wick pretty much the same way as @Huckleberried . When I change wicks I do a couple of pulses to burn off the residual wet juice but that is it. I've never once had any sort of build-up since the days of open coils in my gennies. Even now, I do micros on my genesis attys.
When they look gunky or the flavor starts to go off. I do it every couple tankfulls on a kayfun and every time I change out wicks in a dripper. Takes 10 seconds. Not much of a big deal on rebuildables. I don't tend to change coils once I have a build I like in an atty. I have a stainless mesh build that gets dry burnt all the time because I use it for sampling juices I have mixed.
Always nice to hear back, especially good news. So happy for you!
