COILS/PODS FOR VAPES

What are Coils & Pods?

Coils and pods are an essential cog in the vaping machine. A coil is the engine that produces the vapour we inhale and in turn, flavour production. Pods can also contain built-in coils but their primary function is to act as a container for your e-liquid, much in the same way as an RTA (rebuildable tank atomiser) works.

There are many types of coils and pods on the market that cater to all vaping styles from MTL (Mouth to Lung) to DTL (Direct to Lung) and everything in-between. For MTL vaping, a pod/coil resistance of 0.8 Ohm or above would be ideal, whereas for DTL vaping, a 0.6 Ohm resistance pod/coil would be the right choice for you. 

Replacement coils come in a wide range or resistances depending on their use, just like built-in coil pods. They range from high resistance MTL (Mouth to Lung) coils to low resistance sub-ohm coils that are perfect for DTL (Direct to Lung) vaping. Always consult the user manual that came with your device for coil compatibility but, if you are still unsure, please contact us either via live chat on the website, by phone on: 01246 260010, or by heading to the ‘Contact Us’ page before purchasing to avoid disappointment.

What are Replacement Pods?

Replacement pods come in two variants, as an empty pod with no coil, or with built-in coils - so always check the type of pod kit you have before purchasing, either by observing the pod that came with the device or by consulting the user's manual to ensure you purchase the correct coil/pod.

You may wish to purchase replacement or supplemental pods for your device for many reasons - either because the pod that came with the kit doesn’t have a removable coil, the pod has been damaged/lost, the coil inside has reached the end of its life, or just because you want to have one pod for MTL (Mouth to Lung) vaping, one for RDL (Restricted Direct Lung) or DTL (Direct to Lung) vaping (depending on your pod kits capabilities) - the choice is ultimately up to you.

What are Sub-ohm Coils?

Specifically aimed at the DTL (Direct to Lung) vaping market, sub-ohm coils get their name simply because they are less than 1.0 Ohm in resistance. Sub-ohm coils typically range from 0.8 Ohm down to as low as 0.1 Ohm.

The lower the resistance, the more power is required to drive the coil, so if you’re using either a built-in battery or a single external battery device, this means the battery will drain much quicker when compared to a higher resistance coil, especially for MTL (Mouth to Lung) coils over 0.8 Ohm in resistance. Sub-ohm Coils are best paired with high VG e-liquid such as 70G/30PG shortfills.

What are Premade/Handmade Coils?

Premade coils differ from handmade coils in the manufacturing process, where premade coils are mass produced by machine, whereas handmade coils are typically made by one coil builder that focuses quality over quantity, and they often supply much more intricate and complex coils.

Premade coils are best suited to intermediate vapers that are just getting started with rebuildables, whereas handmade coils are more for advanced vapers due to the fact that some coils may be very low resistance depending on the complexity and construction, so working knowledge of both battery safety and Ohm Law is highly recommended. 

What is an RBA Deck?

RBA (rebuildable atomiser) decks can be applied to a wide range of different products such as sub-ohm tanks and pod kits, as well as replacement or supplemental decks for RTAs (rebuildable tank atomiser).

They are an excellent choice for stock coil tanks that support RBA decks as the next step into rebuildables. Some RTAs also support multiple decks, especially Steam Crave’s series of rebuildable tanks which allow you to swap between dual coil to single coil, and even mesh decks.

RBA decks allow vapers to explore the world of rebuildables before committing to a fully fledged rebuildable atomiser. From standalone RBA decks to rebuildable stock coil heads, there’s a world of possibilities that are waiting to be discovered, right here with Ecigone!
