Vape Coils

A vape coil is a heating element in an e-cigarette that vaporises e-liquid by converting electrical energy into heat. This collection features replacement coils for all the major tanks and pods, whether you’re after a tight MTL draw, wide-open DTL airflow, or something in between like RDTL. Every vape coil here is designed to bring out the best in your liquid, from strong flavour to consistent vapour. You’ll see options from Vaporesso, Voopoo, Aspire, Uwell, Smok, and others, each built around different resistances, materials, and styles of vaping.

Types of Coils and What They’re Good For

If you lean toward mouth-to-lung vaping (a style that’s closer to how a cigarette feels), you’ll want replacement coils with higher resistance, usually somewhere between 0.8 and 1.8 ohms. They pair nicely with 50/50 liquids and nic salts, giving a tight draw without flooding the coil.

After something more open and airy with a heavier cloud? You’re probably looking at sub-ohm coils, anything under 0.5 ohms. These are for direct-to-lung setups and work best with high-VG e-liquids. There are also a few in-between options, like 0.6-ohm mesh atomisers, that give a restricted DTL or a loose MTL pull.

Coil material also makes a difference. Kanthal’s the workhorse as it is not only reliable but also long-lasting. Stainless steel is versatile, especially if you use temperature control. Nichrome heats up a bit faster, which some people prefer for a snappier hit.

Finding the Right Vape Coil for Your Kit

It’s not just about resistance or material when picking a coil. Your coil needs to match your device, too. Most kits are only compatible with certain coils, even if they look similar. For example, Voopoo’s PnP atomisers fit a bunch of their devices, but they won’t work in something from Vaporesso. GTX atomisers from Vaporesso come in several types, but they’re still designed for specific kits. If your setup uses push-fit heating elements, you’ll want to check if it takes vaping coils from a wider series or just one line.

How Long Do Coils Last?

A decent coil gives you anywhere from five days to two weeks, depending on what you're vaping and how hard you hit it. If your e-liquid is thick or overly sweet, you’ll be lucky to get a full week. Flavours like menthol or basic tobaccos are easier on vape coils as they don’t caramelise on the wick the same way and might last closer to ten days. Once the flavour drops off, or you notice vapour thinning out, or get that dreaded dry cotton taste creeping in, it’s time to swap.

How to Prime Vape Coils

If there is one step you cannot afford to skip, it is priming the coil. Before you fire up a new replaceable coil, drip a bit of e-liquid directly onto the cotton you can see, especially around the side ports. Let it soak in for a minute or two, then fill the tank and wait a little longer. Start low on the wattage scale and ease your way up once the coil settles. You will not only avoid dry hits this way, but also help your coil break in gradually and last longer overall.

How to Clean a Vape Coil?

Yes, you can, but don’t expect miracles. You can rinse a coil under warm water and let it dry overnight to clear out gunk on the surface, especially with rebuildables. But for prebuilt coils, the cotton inside never dries out properly, and once that gets saturated with old liquid or burnt residue, flavour doesn’t really recover. At best, you might squeeze out a few more days' worth of vaping, but if you’re already getting muted taste or any sign of a burnt hit, just toss it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my vape taste burnt even with a new coil?

One of the most common reasons is that you probably started vaping before the coil was fully saturated. Dry cotton chars instantly when heated, which gives that scorched taste. Always prime the coil, let it sit after filling, and ease into power settings.

How do I know when it’s time to change my coil for my vape?

You’ll notice less flavour, weaker vapour, maybe a slightly burnt edge. If your vape’s not hitting like it used to and you’re second-guessing it, it’s probably time.

How to replace a vape coil?

You have to start by taking out the tank or pod from the mod/device. Then remove the old coil (pull or unscrew), prime the new one, and slot it in. Fill with juice, let it sit, then start with a few gentle puffs.
