Coil: The Soul of Vapor Taste

The coil is the part that makes the vapor. It also controls the flavour of the e-liquid. The Mesh Coil is a new type of vape that has become very popular. Its special design makes it much better than other vapes. It is more than just a heating element. It is an exact art that balances the size of the cloud, the flavour, and how long it lasts.

Mesh Coil: From Linear to Planar Heating Innovation

Traditional coils (e.g., Clapton coils, tight-wound coils) act like point light sources, while mesh coils form a 3D heating network. They are made from a special type of metal mesh (similar to nichrome and stainless steel) that makes them 3 to 5 times bigger. This design has three main benefits:

  1. Produce 30% more vapour. The e-liquid is heated all over at once, which makes it into a mist that fills your mouth when you breathe in. This is great for people who love to make big clouds of mist.
  2. Purer Flavor Reproduction: It stops the taste of burnt electricity from building up in the coil. The mesh structure gently heats every drop of e-liquid, bringing back the fresh sweetness of fruits, the smooth richness of tobacco, and even the icy layers of cold brew flavors.
  3. 40% Longer Lifespan: The heat is spread evenly, so the filament doesn’t have a chance to melt at one point. It works well even when used a lot, so you don’t need to change the coils every three days.

Coil Replacement: Essential Maintenance for Peak Experience

Whether you’re a beginner or a pro vaper, it’s important to change the coil regularly (every 2–4 weeks, depending on how often you vape). This keeps the coil working at its best. To avoid dry burns and burnt coils, follow these steps:

  1. Power Off and Disassemble: Turn off the device, unscrew the tank, and tilt it to stop e-liquid from spilling.
  2. Remove the Old Coil: Carefully pull out the coil by its base. Use a tissue to protect your hand from the hot e-liquid that may be left on it.
  3. Prime the New Coil: Put 3–4 drops of matching e-liquid on the wick (don’t let any drip directly onto the mesh) to fully soak it. This will stop it from burning during the first use.
  4. Install and Rest: Screw in the coil, refill the e-liquid, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Before you use it, press and hold the fire button for three seconds without inhaling. This will heat the coil evenly.

Wicking Materials (Delivery System)

Various wicking materials for vape coil liquid delivery

The materials that help to stop the vape from getting wet (the delivery system) are very important for how well the vape works and how the user experiences it. They soak up e-liquid from the tank or pod and send it to the heating element (coil) to make vapour.

Common Types of Wicking Materials

  1. Cotton: The most common wicking material is great at absorbing and transferring liquids, which helps to keep the flavour pure.
  2. Silica: It can resist high temperatures and is long-lasting, but it is not as effective at moving e-liquid around as cotton.
  3. Ceramic: It is stable and heat-resistant, and has become more popular in vapes recently.
  4. Rayon: Made from wood pulp, it soaks up liquids easily and can resist high temperatures, keeping the flavour of the tea intact.
  5. Stainless Steel Mesh: This is mostly used in Genesis-style atomizers. Before you use it, you need to make sure it is properly oxidised. This will stop it from short-circuiting.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Wicking Materials

  1. Wicking Efficiency: Materials should quickly absorb and transport e-liquid to avoid dry burns.
  2. Heat Resistance: It can handle high temperatures from the heating element, making it safe and long-lasting.
  3. Flavor Purity: It should not change the flavour of the e-liquid, so you get a clean taste.
  4. Durability: Using good-quality materials makes the coil last longer, and you won’t need to replace it as often.

Selection Guide: Match Your Vaping Style

  • Beginner-Friendly: Choose prefabricated mesh coils labelled “easy install,” with resistances above 1.2Ω (e.g., 1.2Ω, 1.5Ω) to lower power requirements and work with pod systems.
  • Advanced Users: DIY mesh sheets (cuttable mesh) are perfect for players who want to get the heating right for their own needs. You can adjust the power (we recommend 50–80W) using the mods to control the temperature, which will give you a cool inhale and a warm exhale.
  • Long-Lasting Performance: Look for dual mesh designs, which increase the heating area by a factor of two. This extends the battery’s lifespan and maintains a steady output, making it ideal for prolonged outdoor use.

From traditional coils to the mesh revolution, the way coils have changed shows how vaping has gotten better. Knowing how to use them properly – keeping the wicks wet to avoid dry burns, matching the power to avoid overloading, and replacing them regularly to prevent build-up – makes sure every puff of smoke has the e-liquid’s flavour, without any nasty odours or malfunctions. The most important thing for vaping is the coil.

Coils heat e-liquid to create vapour, but the e-liquid itself is what determines the flavour. From PG/VG ratios that balance throat hit and cloud size, to nicotine strengths tailored to your preferences, the liquid you choose interacts directly with the coil to shape your experience. Let’s explore the science of e-liquid and how to select the ideal blend for you. Related article: “Ingredientes del zumo para vapear: ¿Seguros o nocivos?”.
