Replacing coils is one of the ongoing costs of vaping, but with proper care you can significantly extend their lifespan. Here are our top tips.
1. Prime Your Coils
Always saturate a new coil with e-liquid before use. Apply a few drops directly to the cotton and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. This prevents dry hits and burnt cotton.
2. Avoid Chain Vaping
Taking puff after puff without pause heats the coil excessively. Wait 15-20 seconds between draws to let the cotton re-saturate.
3. Keep Your Tank Topped Up
Running your tank low exposes the cotton to air, causing it to dry out and burn. Top up when the liquid drops below a quarter full.
4. Use the Right VG/PG Ratio
High VG e-liquids are thicker and can clog smaller coils. Use 50/50 ratios in pod kits and save 70/30 for sub-ohm tanks.
5. Clean Your Device Regularly
Residue builds up over time. Rinse your pod or tank with warm water weekly and let it dry completely before refilling.
