Anywhere from immediately to a couple days in. The ratio of good to bad is 1 in 6-8 in my experience. If I'm ignoring you it's because you're fallacy impaired. Here's hoping you rectify your problem so that we might have a sensible conversation. Working...

The darker the liquid, the sooner you need to replace Edited on 1/28/2015 at 1:33 PM. Reason: RIP, David Bowie Working...

On 100VG juice I am lucky to last 3 tanks before the taste is just completely gone. I can still vape like this and get nicotine, but the enjoyment is gone. That being said, they perform as well as the originals. They are also almost certainly the original, as the wicking does not act like cotton, but rather ceramic foam, or whatever it's called. I have been able to clean coils with dry burns and water (which would likely ruin cotton), but at this price I don't mind chunking them when I need another. I wouldn't recommend the dry burn cleaning to anyone not willing to risk their health in one way or another. Using high VG juice I highly recommend a few drops directly onto the mesh, the wicking should drink it all up without a problem. This helps the wicking process and I only have to do it on a new coil. Highly recommended, and I haven't gotten a dud yet. My only problem was before I figured out I need to prime the wick as mentioned above. I've gone though close to 25 of these coils and saved a lot of money. Working...

And I imagine that this would contribute to burnt tastes. Working...
