If a replacement pod, different device or Vapestore product page makes sense, we will say so clearly and link to the relevant guide or tracked buying option.
I've just switched to the NeXLIM from disposables and I'm finding the pods last around 5 days before flavour drops noticeably. I'm using 20mg nic salts, drawing on it probably 15-20 times a day. Is 5 days normal or am I doing something to shorten the pod life?
5 days for 15-20 draws a day is actually pretty reasonable, especially if you're on sweeter liquids which wear coils faster. I get 7-8 days from mine but I'm probably vaping less than you. The dual mesh does produce more intense heat per draw than a standard coil which can shorten life slightly.
A few things affect NeXLIM pod life significantly: liquid sweetener content (highly sweetened liquids like some Elfliq flavours gunk the mesh faster), wattage setting, and how quickly you draw after the previous draw. Give the pod a few seconds between draws to let the liquid re-wick properly and you'll likely extend life to 7+ days.
I've been using some pretty sweet liquids so that probably explains it. Going to try a lighter fruity nic salt and see if it lasts longer. Cheers for the tips.
