    Im still cycling through all of my new tanks and I have not yet had to replace the coils on any of them. I have a cleaned a few before changing juices but have yet to experience a bad coil. What are the signs that I need to change the coil?

    You hit the fire button and the coil doesn't fire.
    You check the resistance of the coil and it reads 0.0
    You check the resistance of the coil and it reads way more than what it should.
    Your juice starts tasting burnt even after you lower the voltage or wattage significantly

    If you're talking about a coil assembly, like a Protank replacement coil, then yeah, any of the above. For something rebuildable, especially anything with cotton or mesh, you can keep the coil until it fries and just keep rewicking it. With everything except cotton, unless there is insulators you need to worry about, you can just wash it and dry burn until it stops smoking and you won't have any more bad taste.
