Vape Coils – Essential Vape Kit Component

Vape coils are the heart of any vape device, responsible for transforming e-liquid into vapour. Acting as a highly engineered heating element, a vape coil works by drawing in e-liquid, heating it up, and converting it into smooth, flavourful vapour.

At Dinner Lady, we stock replacement vape coils from leading brands, including:

• Geekvape Vape Coils
• Innokin Vape Coils
• SMOK Vape Coils
• VooPoo Vape Coils

Whether you need standard coils or sub-ohm coils, we have a wide selection to suit different vape kits and vaping styles

What Are Vape Coils and How Do They Work?

A vape coil consists of a metal wire and a wick (typically made from organic cotton). When activated, the coil heats up, vaporising the e-liquid soaked into the wick. Different vape coil designs impact flavour, vapour production, and coil lifespan.

Coil Resistance – What You Need to Know

The resistance of a vape coil, measured in ohms (Ω), plays a key role in vapour production and flavour delivery:

High Resistance Coils (≥1.0Ω) – Designed for a Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) vape, these coils create a tight draw with discreet vapour. Best used with 50:50 e-liquids or Nicotine Salts like Dinner Lady Nic Salts.

Low Resistance Coils (<1.0Ω) – Ideal for Direct-to-Lung (DTL) vaping, these sub-ohm coils produce thick vapour clouds. Best paired with high VG e-liquids, such as Dinner Lady 30:70 e-liquids and Shortfills (Shake & Vapes).

How Long Do Vape Coils Last?

The lifespan of a vape coil depends on various factors:

• Vaping frequency – Heavy vapers may need more frequent replacements.
• E-liquid type – High VG e-liquids can wear out coils faster.
• Power settings – Running a vape coil at higher wattages may shorten its lifespan.
• Coil build-up – Residue from e-liquids can clog the coil over time, affecting performance.

On average, vape coils last one to two weeks before needing replacement.

When Should You Replace Your Vape Coil?

It’s time to change your vape coil if you experience:

• Reduced vapour production
• A burnt or unpleasant taste
• Leaks or gurgling noises
• Weak flavour from your e-liquid

Vape Coils in Pod Systems

 In pod vape kits, the heating coil is built into the pod. Instead of replacing just the coil, vapers switch to a new pod when performance declines. Dinner Lady stocks replacement pods for a wide range of vape pod systems.

FAQ

What is coil resistance?

Coil resistance is measured in ohms and ohm level indicates how much vapour your coil will produce. Higher resistance coils (1.0ohm and above) produce less vapour while lower resistance coils (1.0ohm and below) use more power for increased vapour production.

High resistance coils are best suited to a mouth to lung (MTL) vape and should be paired with e-liquids with an even measure of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG) such as Dinner Lady 50:50 e-liquids or Nicotine Salts.

Low resistance coils are best suited to a direct to lung (DTL) vape and should be paired with high VG e-liquids such as Dinner Lady 30:70s and Shortfills (Shake n Vapes).

When should I change my coil?

Coils should be changed when vapour production is minimised or when the taste of your e-liquid starts to deteriorate.
