Coils & Pods
Whether you prefer MTL coils for a tighter draw or sub-ohm coils for bigger clouds, you’ll find the right option for your style of vaping. For those using pod kits, our range of replacement pods makes it simple to keep your device fresh and performing at its best.
What are Vape Coils?
What are Vape Pods?
Vape pods are compact, user-friendly vaping devices that have revolutionised the vaping industry with their simplicity and portability. A pod system consists of two main parts: a rechargeable battery unit and a removable pod cartridge that holds your e-liquid. The pod attaches to the battery via magnetic connection or click-fit mechanism, creating a complete vape kit that's significantly smaller than traditional box mods and vape tanks. Pod systems are incredibly popular among new vapers switching from cigarettes and experienced users wanting a convenient, pocket-friendly device for on-the-go vaping. Their discreet size and simple operation make them the ideal choice for hassle-free vaping.
When to replace your coils?
Knowing when to replace your vape coils is crucial for maintaining the best flavour, vapour production, and overall vaping experience. The most common sign that your coil needs changing is a burnt or unpleasant taste, which occurs when the cotton wick becomes too degraded to properly absorb e-liquid. Other clear indicators include reduced vapour production, gurgling sounds, e-liquid leaking from your tank or pod, and noticeably weaker flavour even with fresh e-liquid. If you're experiencing any combination of these symptoms, it's definitely time to install a new coil. Ignoring these warning signs will only lead to increasingly poor performance and potential damage to your device.
What’s the Right Coil for Your Vape?
Your choice of e-liquid should guide your coil selection - if you're using nicotine salt e-liquids or high-strength freebase nicotine, opt for MTL coils with higher resistance to avoid excessive nicotine intake. For lower nicotine shortfills and cloud chasing, sub-ohm coils deliver satisfying vapour production and intense flavour. Mesh coils have become increasingly popular across both categories thanks to their larger heating surface area, which provides superior flavour and faster heat-up times compared to traditional wire coils.
We recommend you always check the recommended wattage range printed on your coils and stay within these limits - vaping below the range produces weak performance while exceeding it burns out coils prematurely. Consider starting with the mid-range resistance option for your device, then experiment with different resistances to find your perfect vape. Keeping track of which coils you prefer makes reordering simple and ensures consistent satisfaction.
Vape Coils FAQ
Vape coils typically last between one to three weeks depending on your vaping frequency and e-liquid type. Heavy vapers may need to replace coils weekly, while light users can get three weeks or more from a single coil. Sweet e-liquids and high VG blends tend to shorten coil life due to residue build-up. You'll know it's time to change your coil when you notice a burnt taste, reduced vapour production, or muted flavours.
A burnt taste from a new coil usually means it wasn't properly primed before use. Priming involves saturating the cotton wick with e-liquid and letting it soak for 5-10 minutes before vaping. Without priming, dry cotton burns when heated, instantly ruining the coil. Starting at too high a wattage can also burn new coils, always begin at the lower end of the recommended range.
