I use about 2 to 2.5ml a day

Wake up at 5:45, hit on vape, shower, vape, dress, vape, eat, vape, get in car, vape, vape, vape, stop at coffee shop, leave with coffee, get in car, vape, refill 2ml Exo tank before pulling out.

Total Time: 55 minutes. Damn.

I only change a coil when I start to get a burnt taste because if you flame a coil it just will not last much longer! I have wasted a coil in less than 2 ML's from firing at the wrong wattage by mistake and had others last for 10K Puffs. Once running the tank low made the next only last for 8K. All depends on how you use it and what wattage you fire it at along with what e-Liquid you use. So many variables affect coil life there is no one answer in my opinion.

pre made coils like you are using will vary
they are mass manufactured so you will get some that last longer then others and some that will die quickly

as others mentioned letting the cotton get dry while firing it will shorten its life span. this can happen form no juice in the tank, firing at too high a wattage for too long so all the juice vaporizes etc ect

The type of juice will change it as well
some flavors (bakery,desert, sugary) cause a build up on the tank and in the cotton which can happen in days even at 2ml a day as you do. while flavors like simple fruits can go and go and ago and go without causing any to very little buildup in the coil and cotton.

On average from everything I have read and discussed with people IN GENERAL 2-3 weeks is a norm on juices that dont cause significant buildup and you dont do anything to damage the coil or cotton. Now that is not to say 4-6 weeks can not happen. I have had coils last that long before.
Juice that cause a build up will make a coil last much less sometimes days But since you only vape about 2mls a day you are going to get much longer life then many of us who are vaping 10-30mls a day. It is about how much juice not time.

I do pure VG organic with fruits, and my coils can stay nice for 4-6 weeks.

That said, if I dabble with some NET juice (smoked Latakia!), I get a few days at best.

Cheers,
