I have the kayfun 3.1 built the coil up and have been using it for about 2 weeks and wonder how long do they usually last. How can you tell its time to build another? And how long do your builds last on average?
how long does your coil last on your rebuldable

i just got a russian 91 a few weeks ago this build is one week old and going strong..i use cotton wicking prolly change it in a few days
when it gets nasty change it ....

I've used the same coil for a mth, that's the beauty of a cotton wic, you just pull the old out pop the new one in and your done. I usually change mine about once a week to every 2 weeks, but that's usually to try a new build lol

Coil on my kayfun lite clone lasts a long time. In fact I usually get bored with it before it needs to be changed. I just replace the cotton wick every few days and dry fire the coil to clean it.
I've had microcoil last up to two months (cotton wicks, swapped out with each tank fill, dry burning of coil at the same time). These are running anywhere from .7 - 1.5 ohms.
I've also had other coils pop after two days. Some of that would be chalked up to user error, lower resistances would also account for some of it.
In my case, I rebuild when the coil just isn't performing well - anemic vapor, even with fresh wicks and battery.

I've been using the same coil in my RM2 bottom-fed rebuildable for at least a month. Generally, I clean it every time I re-fill the juice bottle by dry burning and, if necessary, gently scraping off any ash or remaining burnt on crud with a mini flat head screw driver, then rinsing with warm water. I also check the resistance periodically. As long as it's still firing consistently and it doesn't break, it's a good coil.
how do you get any ash? were not smoking Remember?
Burnt cotton, methinks.
Mine last less than a week... because I want to rebuild it I'm sure that will fade over time though and they will last longer:
I do 28ga kanthal micro coil at 1.3 to 1.6 ohms. I run it at around 8w.
After every tank or two or three, I pull the cotton, dry burn, let it cool, use a "dust off" can of compressed air to blow off any lingering crusties, rince with hot water, dry burn again, rewick.
I'm recoiling Fogger v3 (with vertical/chimney coil set up) and KFL+ clone with single horizontal coil.
the coils have looked just about brand new when I pull them for the rebuild, but again, I'm rebuilding every few days.

Coils can easily last a month or longer, If you are using cotton wicks, you just need to rewick it every couple of days, but the coil itself will last a very long time.
Of course, we all want to experiment with different builds, so my coils only lasted anywhere from a few hours to a week. But that was before I bought my second dripper. Now, I experiment with builds on my Igo-W, and when I find one that I really like, I build another of the same for my Nimbus clone. That coil stays on the Nimbus until I discover a better build while experimenting with the Igo-W.
I highly recommend having at least two drippers so you can dedicate one as an experimental testbed and backup.

so its safe to say that one rebuilds the coil not because it is not working but because you get bored and love tinkering with it ? Lol that is A good sign you bought the right build. I love tinkering and was thinking of rebuilding it just for more practice.Nice to see I am not alone.
