Collection: Vaporesso Coils

A vape coil is the heating element that sits inside the tank or pod of your vape. Vape coils are primarily responsible for turning your vape juice or e-liquid into vapour for inhalation.

In their simplest form, they consist of a metal wire (or a mesh strip) and an absorbent wicking material. When the vape is activated, an electrical current causes the coil to rapidly heat up, vaporising the liquid which is stored in the cotton.

What makes Vaporesso vape coils different?

Vaporesso vapes are enjoyed by vapers and ex-cigarette users the world over due to the satisfying mouth-to-lung and direct-to-lung inhalation they provide. 

This is thanks in part to the brand's innovative vape coil technology.

Unlike traditional vape coils, Vaporesso coils use mesh strips in place of metal wire.

The result is a greater surface area that heats liquid/vape juice more evenly and efficiently. This results in purer flavour, denser vapour clouds, and a longer lifespan for your coils.

The type of coil you use in your vape can have a big impact on your vaping experience. The material and wick directly affect the vapour inhaled, including the size of the vape cloud, the taste, and more.

But there’s an even more pressing matter in that the vape coil must fit the vape itself. This makes buying the correct, genuine parts important. At The E-Cig Store, we carry 100% authentic vapes, pods, and coils meaning you can order with certainty that they will fit your vape.

How long do Vaporesso coils last?

On average, a genuine Vaporesso coil will last between one and two weeks under normal usage. However, the lifespan of a coil can vary significantly depending on several key factors:

• E-liquid type: E-liquids with high sweetener content (such as berry flavours, strawberry, mango, and candies) can cause a sticky residue to build up on the coil due to caramelisation on the wick. This means the vape coil may need to be replaced more frequently than e-liquids with lower sweetener contents.
• Vaping habits: Frequent or chain vaping without giving the coil time to cool down can cause the wicking material to burn and degrade faster. If you’d like to extend the life of your vape coils, taking shorter puffs and allowing a few seconds of cooling time can be a worthwhile decision.
• Wattage settings: Running your vape at a higher wattage than the recommended range for your coil will burn the wick more quickly. Always check the manufacturer's suggested wattage range to ensure the best experience.

When should I replace my vape coil?

You'll know it's time for a new coil when you experience a burnt or unpleasant taste, your vape produces less vapour than usual, or the flavour of your e-liquid becomes muted.

In these cases, you can replace the coil with a new, genuine replacement to return your vape back to normal.

How do I clean my coils?

It is generally not recommended to clean your coils with a view to "reviving" a burnt one. Once the cotton wick is burnt, it cannot be fixed, and the only solution is to replace the coil.

But, if you want to carry out general cleaning and maintenance of your vape and vape coils, some users choose to:

1. Remove the coil: Carefully unscrew the coil from your Vaporesso tank or pod.
2. Rinse with warm water: Rinse the coil under warm (not hot) running water. This can help to remove any loose residue or old e-liquid from the exterior of the coil. Do not use soap or cleaning agents, as they can leave a harmful residue.
3. Dry completely: This is the most crucial step. Use a paper towel to pat the coil dry, then set it aside to air dry completely for at least 24 hours. A fully dry coil is essential to prevent a "dry hit" and ensure proper function.

For a fresh start and the best performance, replacing your Vaporesso coil is always the best option.

Always follow the manufacturer's guidance.

Why do you need to replace vape coils?

Vape coils are a consumable component of a vape device, much like the filter in a coffee machine or a tyre on a car. They have a limited lifespan and must be replaced regularly to ensure you get a safe, flavourful, and satisfying vaping experience.

Some main causes and signs your coil needs replacing:

• Flavour and vapour production decline: This is the most noticeable sign. Over time, the coil's heating element and wick become saturated with old e-liquid and residue.
• A burnt taste: When the wick can no longer absorb enough e-liquid, the coil will heat the dry cotton instead of the e-liquid. This causes the cotton to burn, creating a very unpleasant, harsh, and lasting burnt taste that can't be fixed.
• Signs of degradation: An old, worn-out coil can lead to other issues, such as gurgling sounds, leaking from the tank, or a general feeling of poor performance from your vape.
