What are Vape Coils?
The vape coil is the critical part inside your vape that turns e-liquid into vapour. Coils, also known as atomisers, conduct power from your battery, producing heat which vaporises the vape juice inside your pod or tank.
Coils have two main components: the metal heating element and the wick. The metal element, which is usually a piece of spiral metal (hence the name “coil”) or a piece of mesh, conducts electricity from the battery to create heat. The wick, or wicking material, acts as a sponge to absorb e-liquid.
When you fire your vape, the metal heating element—which is pressed against the wick—heats up and turns the liquid from the wick into vapour that you inhale.
Coils have a natural lifespan and will degrade with use, so they’ll need to be replaced regularly. Some pod kits use pods with built-in coils, and for these vapes, you’ll only need to replace the pod once the coil is used up.
There’s a lot of lingo and jargon around coils, but fear not: we’re here to make your choice an easy one.
What are the different types of vape coils?
As we mentioned, there are two main components of a coil: the metal heating element and the wicking material. Let’s break the different types of each component.
Wire Vape Coils
Wire coils are the standard type that have been around since vaping first began. They’re spiral-shaped and have a good balance of flavour, vapour production, and heat. They consume less e-liquid than mesh coils do.
Mesh Vape Coils
Mesh coils are a new but popular type, offering a larger surface area that can heat more e-liquid much faster than wire coils can. They deliver more flavour per puff than wire coils, but they consume more e-liquid as a result.
Cotton Vape Coils
Cotton wicks are the gold standard in vaping, and they’re found in most coils. Cotton is great at absorbing e-liquid and offers decent longevity. These factors combined with the low cost makes them the most popular wicking material.
Ceramic Vape Coils
Ceramic coils are more porous than cotton coils, which means that they absorb e-liquid better. Because of the nature of ceramic, these coils also offer better longevity. Ceramic coils are uncommon outside of sub-ohm vaping.
What are Ohms?
Ohms (Ω) are a unit of electrical resistance. Without getting too much into the science of Ohm’s Law, there’s one core takeaway: more power requires lower resistance, while less power requires higher resistance.
This means that lower-powered vapes tend to have higher-resistance coils and vice versa.
The lower a coil’s resistance, the more power can be conducted through it. A low coil resistance (below 1Ω, also known as sub-ohm) allows you to vape at a higher wattage, which means bigger clouds and more flavour.
Conversely, with higher resistances (above 1Ω), less power is needed and less vapour is produced—though this makes these coils ideal for use with high-nicotine e-liquids.
What coil resistance do I need?
You’ll need to consider your vaping style, your chosen e-liquid, and how much nicotine you’ll need before choosing which coil to buy.
Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) Coils
MTL vape coils are “high-resistance”—usually above 1Ω—and produce a small amount of vapour, similar to how much smoke you’ll get in a single puff of a cigarette.
MTL coils, due to the fact that they’re fired at a lower wattage, need thinner e-liquids to work properly. This means using high-PG juices like nic salts and 50/50 e-liquids.
Direct-to-Lung (DTL) Coils
DTL or “sub-ohm” vape coils are low-resistance—generally below 1Ω, hence the name sub-ohm—and produce a lot of vapour to support the DTL vaping style.
DTL coils are fired at higher wattages, so they can accommodate much thicker e-liquids like shortfills and even 100% VG e-liquids, depending on the coil.
How long do vape coils last?
Time isn’t a great way to measure a coil’s lifespan, since everyone vapes differently. How much you vape, the length of your puffs, and the amount of sweetener in your e-liquid are huge factors in how long your coil will last.
Generally speaking, though, most coils will last between 1 to 2 weeks before needing to be replaced. If you find that your coils aren’t lasting this long, you may need to consider which factors are affecting your coil life.
How do I know when to change my coil?
You’ll know it’s time to replace your coil when you encounter one of the tell-tale signs of coil death: when your vape starts to taste burnt, the flavour begins to fade, or your favourite e-liquid doesn’t taste quite right anymore, that’s your sign that it’s time to swap your coil.
Once you notice one of these signs, it’s important to change your coil. We do not recommend continuing to use a burnt vape coil.
