Mesh & Coil Lifespan

[chrisjw]

Is there a certain lifespan for the mesh & wire in an AGA-T & Genesis clone, or tell tale signs for re-newal?

It depends on what you vape using it, it will last a long time but will eventually fall apart.

If its starting to go brittle change it.

The SS mesh is durable so 1 Month + if you dryburn the coil and and torch the SS to clean it....or rebuild.

Was wondering this myself Chris,I have been using butterscotch in one of mine and this was a bit of a clogger upper,but cleaned off thanks to some rinsing under hot water and a little brush that came from I believe an old tape (compact cassette) fixing kit,fruits have left things fine,other things like cake have also been fine,so a month in no need to change anything yet,will wait for the self destruct ...I have done a good few flavour changes but actually would prefer to buy more genny clones as I find what I like to vape

if they clog, give them a clean and a dry burn which should clear the carp.... eventually the mesh will disintegrate and you will notice a drop off in performance at which point pop a new one in

as with anything vaping related life span depends on how much, how and what you vape

This man will also clear your carp

Haven't tried the carp yet but RY4 seems to gunge my Aga-t after 3/4 days. I replace the Kanthal after heating the mesh on the gas hob to cherry red, seems to work fine then.
