Vape Coils: The Heart of Every Vape Kit
If you're new to vaping, the performance and flavour of your vape depend on one key component: the coil.
At Vape Suite, we know that choosing the right coil isn't just about replacing it—it’s about
enhancing your entire vaping experience. Whether you're chasing clouds, craving flavour, or just keeping
your vape kit running smoothly, our wide range of replacement vape coils has you covered.
Coils are the heating elements in your pod or tank that vaporise e-liquid to create the flavourful vapour you
love.
Over time, they wear out and need replacing. Choosing the right coil keeps your hits consistent, flavours
vibrant,
and your kit in great shape.
What Are Vape Coils?
Vape coils are small, replaceable components usually made of a metal wire (like mesh or kanthal) wrapped in
cotton.
When powered by your battery, they heat the e-liquid absorbed into the cotton to create vapour.
Key Points to Remember
- Mesh coils heat faster, deliver more flavour, and produce thicker clouds.
- Standard coils are ideal for tighter MTL (mouth-to-lung) draws and last longer.
- Coil resistance matters: Low-ohm coils create bigger clouds, while high-ohm coils are
smoother and use less e-liquid.
Why Are Coils Important?
Two key reasons: performance and flavour.
A fresh coil gives you clean flavour, smooth hits, and better vapour, while an old or burnt coil leads to
muted taste, harshness, and even leaks.
Replacing your coil on time not only improves your vaping experience but also
prevents device damage caused by burnt cotton or residue build-up.
Types of Coils Available at Vape Suite
- Pod Kit Coils: Perfect for compact MTL devices like OXVA Xlim, Vaporesso XROS, and Uwell Caliburn.
- Sub-Ohm Coils: Designed for DTL vaping with bigger clouds and intense flavour, for
tanks like Voopoo PnP and SMOK RPM.
- Mesh Coils: Faster ramp-up, even heating, and fuller flavour for flavour enthusiasts.
- Replacement Pods with Built-in Coils: Hassle-free for beginners—just swap the pod when
the coil is done.
When to Change Your Vape Coil
- Burnt taste or harsh hits
- Reduced vapour or weak flavour
- Gurgling or leaking from your pod/tank
- Coil has been used for 1-2 weeks (average lifespan)
Pro Tip: Prime your new coil by soaking the cotton with e-liquid and waiting 5-10 minutes
before vaping to prevent burning and extend coil life.
How to Make Your Coils Last Longer
- Use the recommended wattage for your coil.
- Keep your pod/tank filled to avoid dry hits.
- Use high-quality e-liquids and avoid very sweetened juices.
- Clean your device regularly to prevent residue buildup.
Vape Coils - FAQs
How often should I change my vape coil?
Most coils last 1-2 weeks, depending on usage and e-liquid type.
How do I know my coil is burnt?
Burnt taste, less vapour, or darkened cotton are clear signs.
Are mesh coils better than regular coils?
Mesh coils heat more evenly, giving better flavour and longer coil life.
Can I clean and reuse a coil?
Generally, coils are disposable. Cleaning may give short extra use but isn't a long-term solution.
Which coil works best for nicotine salts?
High-resistance MTL coils (1.0?+) provide smooth hits and prevent harsh throat hits.
Can I use any coil with any vape kit?
No. Only use coils designed for your device. Using the wrong coil can cause leaks or damage your kit.
How can I make my coils last longer?
Prime your coil, use the recommended wattage, and avoid chain-vaping to prevent burning the cotton.
Do coils affect vapour production?
Yes. Low-ohm coils make bigger clouds, while high-ohm coils are smoother and use less e-liquid.
