Vape Coils

Ceramic vape coils, like all coils, use a metal heating element. However, where they differ from standard vape coils is the wicking material. Instead of simple cotton wicks they use a porous ceramic material, or in some cases a combination of ceramic and cotton.The benefits of ceramic coils include a reduced risk of spitback, improved flavour from e-liquid, faster heating at lower wattages and a longer lifespan overall. Leading vape brands like Smok and Vaporesso produce some of the most popular ceramic coils.

Mesh vape coils became very popular very quickly. Rather than using a wound piece of wire like standard coils, they instead feature a curved mesh net. This net has a larger surface area enabling it to heat more e-liquid at a faster rate resulting in a boost in both flavour and vapour production. Also, the net design of mesh coils stops the occurrence of hot spots and results in a longer-lasting coil. You'll find sub ohm mesh coils for greater vapour production as well as mouth to lung mesh coils for enhanced flavour creation.

Temperature Control mode is found on advanced kits. This mode lets you set the max temperature your coils will reach and your device will alter the wattage output accordingly as you vape. This helps to ensure you do not overheat your coil and burn it, as well as avoiding dry hits. These kits require special temperature control coils which use materials such as Stainless Steel or Nickel for the wire.

Created solely for use with rebuildable atomisers such as RDAs and RTAs, rebuildable coils are available in different resistances to support either mouth to lung or sub ohm vaping. A wide range of premade coils are available that can be installed directly into a device without having to be first measured and wrapped. If you're using rebuildable vape coils you'll also need special cotton that can be used as a wick. This vape cotton can be found in reels and pre-cut for quick set-up.

As a general rule, each manufacturer will create specific coils for specific kits, so if you're using an Aspire vape kit then you will also need the Aspire coils to fit that kit. However, they will often produce a range of different resistances and coil types for you to choose from, depending on what your preferences are - for example, different resistances (MTL or sub ohm). Some manufacturers do make cross compatible models. For example a number of Innokin Coils can be used with several different Innokin vape kits.
