What exactly are replacement coils and why do they matter?

Here's the thing - your vape coil is basically the heart of your entire setup. It's that little component inside your tank or pod that heats up your e-liquid and turns it into vapour. Without a decent coil, you're not vaping anything.

Most coils contain a wire (or mesh) wrapped around some cotton wicking material. When you press that fire button, electricity flows through the wire, it heats up, and boom - your e-liquid gets vaporised. Simple enough, right?

But here's where it gets interesting. Different coil types give you completely different experiences. Sub-ohm coils (anything below 1.0 ohm resistance) are built for direct-to-lung vaping with bigger clouds and more vapour production. Higher resistance coils work better for mouth-to-lung vaping, which feels more like smoking a traditional cigarette.

The problem is, coils don't last forever. That constant heating and cooling cycle eventually burns out the wire or gunks up the cotton. Most people need to change their coils every 3-4 weeks, though it depends on how much you vape and what e-liquids you're using.

Look, your coil will tell you when it's had enough - you just need to know the signs. The most obvious one is taste. When your favourite e-liquid starts tasting like burnt toast, that's your coil crying for help.

You might also notice less vapour production than usual, or a gurgling sound when you take a draw. Sometimes the coil just stops working altogether, which is pretty hard to miss.

High VG e-liquids tend to kill coils faster because they're thicker and can clog up the cotton more quickly. If you're a heavy vaper using sweet, dessert-flavoured juices, you'll probably find yourself changing coils more often than someone who sticks to simple tobacco flavours.

Which coil type should I choose?

This depends entirely on how you like to vape. If you're after big clouds and direct lung hits, you'll want sub-ohm mesh coils. They heat up quickly and give excellent flavour reproduction - that's why they've become so popular.

For a tighter draw that mimics cigarette smoking, higher resistance coils (1.0 ohm and above) work better. These are perfect for nicotine salts and give you that satisfying throat hit without needing massive power.

Pod system users have it slightly easier since most pods come with the coil already built in. You just replace the entire pod when the coil's done, though some systems do offer replaceable coil heads within the pods.

Are all replacement coils the same quality?

Definitely not, and this is where buying from reputable sources matters. Authentic coils from established manufacturers like SMOK, Aspire, and Uwell go through proper quality control. They use decent wire, proper cotton, and they're built to last.

Cheap knockoffs might look identical, but they often use inferior materials. The wire might be inconsistent, the cotton could be low-grade, and they'll usually burn out much faster than genuine coils. Plus, there's always that nagging worry about what exactly you're inhaling.

We only stock authentic coils directly from authorised distributors, so you know you're getting the real deal. It might cost a bit more upfront, but genuine coils last longer and perform better.
