I never clean mine. When they draw hard or taste funny I rebuild them. I have some Kangers that are over a year old and have rebuilt the coils 20 or 30 times. At 2 or 3 cents a rebuild this is allot cheaper than replacing with new coils.
Rebuild not an option for me.
OT: What's the best way to clean them, how often and also what is a good time to dispose of them assuming they are used daily?

Be EXTREMELY careful of dry burning, if you're going to dry burn make sure there is no wick in the coil, and also do NOT wait longer than 2 days between each dry burn session because you will encounter the same issue that I have been having that finally pushed me to get a kayfun clone, the coil leads will literally burn and snap if you wait too long to dry burn. For instance, I waited about 4 days to dry burn after my last dry burn, and it happened... This has happened to me 3 times now, rebuilding the kanger coils is a pain compared to having an actual deck to build on, I'd have to say you should look into rebuilding honestly, even if it is only the kanger coils you're going to rebuild, it is way more efficient to build the coil your way, their stock coils are way too shoddy to be reliable. Another good tip would be to replace the nasty silica and silica flavor wick with cotton

Kanger designed them as a disposable component, they're meant to be replaced when quality begins to drop. However, you can make them last a bit longer by doing a dry burn cleaning. Like Maoufan said, do a YouTube search. It's not something easily described in words, you need to watch someone do it.
You'll do a dry burn as often as needed. Which nobody can tell you, it's up to you and your standards for a good vape. Myself, I can drag a coil through the mud to China and back and as long as I still get halfway decent flavor and a bit of wisp, I'm not freaking out.
As for disposal, like I said they're meant to be used and tossed. However, if you're dryburning, there is a limit of how many times it can be brought back from the grave. Again, up to you in terms of quality.
And if you're asking about cleaning and reusing them, I'm guessing you're on a budget or they're hard to get. Look into rebuilding. Seriously. Takes about $20 for all tools and materials for a year supply, and it's not hard. Again, YouTube is your friend. Seriously, I've seen ditzy blondes and old grandmas with coke bottle lenses rebuild these. Just takes some practice.
And just FYI, pop a search before posting a new topic. https://www.google.com/search?q=how...n+kanger+coils+site:www.e-cigarette-forum.com It's probably been asked before.

I've had pretty good luck with
a: dropping the coil to be cleaned in asmall jar with vodka or white rum for a day or two while using another coil.
b: super hot water rinsing
c: keeping 'caramel' or 'custard' or 'herpes' flavors (coffee, menthol, etc) coils and then having a different one for fruit flavors.
