Most vapers are aware of the fact that the coil
that they use has a lot to do with whether or not they’ll be satisfied with
their vaping experience. The coil is one
of the most important factors of the vaping setup as it serves as the middleman
between the mod and the e-liquid.
Therefore, choosing the right coil requires that a person takes a lot of
things into consideration.
If you’re not particularly technologically savvy, the
world of coils can be complicated and intimidating. After all, there is so much technical jargon
involved, and not everyone fully understands what all of those terms really
mean. The problem is that if you end up
choosing the wrong coil for your vaping setup, you won’t get the satisfying
experience that you crave, and you may even end up ruining your e-liquid
or damaging your device.
We’re gonna break down all of the factors that must be
considered when selecting a vape coil.
This way, you can be able to make the most informed purchase for your
setup so that your vaping needs can truly be satisfied.
What’s a Vape Coil?
A vape coil is the heating element that allows the
e-liquid to turn into vapor that can be easily and comfortably inhaled. A vaping setup generally consists of three
components: the mod, the atomizer and the coil.
The atomizer is the vessel that contains the e-liquid, and the coil sits
somewhere inside of it. The atomizer is
attached to the mod that contains the battery.
When we fire a device, we tell the mod’s battery to
provide power to the coil. This allows
the coil to heat up, and that increase in temperature changes the e-liquid into
vapor. Therefore, you can understand why
the coil is so important. Without it, we
wouldn’t be able to vape at all.
A vape coil consists of a coiled wire that conducts
heat. It also contains a wick that
absorbs e-juice This allows the heat of
the wire to vaporize the juice that’s absorbed into the wick, and what produces
each hit when a device is fired.
A Quick Word on Vape Coils for Tanks vs.
Vape Coils for Cartridges
Today, there are two main types of coils out there,
and each one corresponds with a specific type of atomizer. Vape tanks are used with
conventional mod setups, while cartridges are used with pod systems. Pod systems and box mod systems are two
different types of vaping setups, and so the pod cartridges and vape tanks that
are used with them are different in many ways.
Therefore, the coils that are used with pod systems are very different
from the coils that are used with box mod systems, and they cannot be used
interchangeably. We will be explaining
this compatibility factor in a bit more detail shortly.
What to Look for in a Vape Coil for the Best
Vaping Experience Possible
Now, there are six main attributes of a coil, and they
are size, ohms, compatibility, brand, price and the type of vaping experience
that it is designed to provide.
Size
Coils come in different sizes, and the size refers to its
diameter. Size is perhaps the most
overlooked attribute of a coil, although it actually determines many aspects of
one’s vaping experience. There are
small, medium and large coils, and each one is best suited with a specific type
of vaping setup.
As a rule of thumb, large coils are ideal for
cloud-chasing. This is because the large
diameter allows for more e-liquid to absorb into the wick, and it also allows
for more airflow. Small coils are
associated with a stronger flavor and a tight draw because of the way in which
they concentrate the flavor molecules of the vape juice and minimize the amount
of air that enters the coil.
Ohms
It’s safe to say that the resistance level of the
coil, which is measured in ohms, is the most important factor to consider. This is because there is a direct, very
important relationship between the resistance level of the coil and the output
level of your mod. The higher your mod’s
output level, the lower the resistance level must be. Using a coil with a resistance level that’s
incompatible with your device’s output level can lead to a wide variety of
issues such as leaking, burning and spitback.
Luckily, finding the right resistance level for your
setup is easy. Any manufactured coils
will clearly state on the packaging which output range they are compatible with
according to watts.
Compatibility
Another thing that’s extremely important is using the
right type of coil with your setup. Like
we said, coils that are made for pod systems cannot be used with box mod setups,
and vice versa.
Brand
The coil’s maker must be considered as well. For one thing, you want to make sure that you
buy your coils from a brand that you trust, or one that has a strong
reputation. This is because a lot of
manufacturers use cheap materials to make their coils, and this can ruin your
vaping session.
Another thing is that many brands only make coils for
their atomizers. In other words, if you
purchase a coil from them and try to use it with a different company’s vaping
system, you’ll run into problems.
Basically, every company that makes hardware creates coils that are
meant to be used with their products, and it’s always best to stick to the
coils that were specially designed for the system that you’re using. That’s because these coils were made to bring
out the best vaping experience possible when using the compatible hardware.
Price
The price of the coil is something that you should
always pay attention to as well. Because
of the fact that coils must be replaced regularly, you don’t want to spend too
much money on them, so finding a pack of coils that’s affordable is
important. However, you also don’t want
to spend too little on your coils, because as we said, some companies make
low-quality coils. In other words, if
the price seems too good to be true, you probably want to stay away.
Vaping Preferences
Lastly, you must take into consideration what the coil
is designed to do in terms of your vaping experience. For instance, some coils are made to enhance
cloud size, while others are specially designed to give you stronger, richer
flavor. The manufacturer will clearly
explain what vaping attributes each coil was designed to enhance, so read the
product description before making a purchase.
Everyone has their own unique vaping preferences and choosing a coil
according to these preferences is key if you want to have a vaping experience
that truly leaves you feeling satisfied.
The World of Vape Coils May Seem
Intimidating…
But, as you can see, it’s just a matter of knowing how
different factors produce different effects.
The next time you need to purchase a coil for your vaping setup, refer
to this guide to take these six factors into consideration. This way, you’ll be able to enjoy immense
satisfaction when you vape.
