Vape coils are one of the most important components of any vaping device. They are responsible for heating the e-liquid inside the device and producing the vapor that a user inhales. Vape coils come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials, and each type has its own unique set of benefits and drawbacks. 

What Is a Vape Coil?

The vape coil is typically made out of metal wire, typically kanthal or nickel. The wire is then wrapped around a wick which could be made of cotton, silica, ceramic or various other materials. The wick is then saturated with e-liquid and heated up by the coil. It is important that the wick is saturated with e-liquid before it is heated up otherwise it will burn the wick. 

The vape coil is an important part of the vaping device and it is important to replace it regularly in order to maintain the best possible vaping experience. The lifespan of a coil can vary depending on the type of coil, the wattage it is used at and the type of e-liquid that is used.
