Replacement Vape Coils – Essential Vape Kit Component
Replacement vape coils are the heart of every vape device, responsible for transforming e-liquid into vapour. Acting as a heating element, a coil draws in e-liquid, heats it, and converts it into smooth, flavourful vapour. Without reliable replacement vape coils, your device cannot deliver the performance or flavour you expect.
At Vape Dinner Lady, we stock replacement vape coils from trusted brands, including:
- GeekVape Vape Coils
- Innokin Vape Coils
- SMOK Vape Coils
- VooPoo Vape Coils
Whether you need standard MTL coils or sub-ohm coils, our wide selection of replacement vape coils suits different vape kits and vaping styles.
What Are Vape Coils and How Do They Work?
A vape coil is made up of a metal wire and a wick, usually organic cotton. When activated, the coil heats up, vaporising the e-liquid soaked into the wick. The design and resistance of a coil directly affect vapour production, flavour quality, and coil lifespan.
Coil Resistance – What You Need to Know
The resistance of replacement vape coils is measured in ohms (Ω) and plays a major role in how your vape performs:
- High Resistance Coils (≥1.0Ω) – Best for Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) vaping, offering a tighter draw and discreet vapour. Pair with 50:50 e-liquids or Dinner Lady Nicotine Salts.
- Low Resistance Coils (<1.0Ω) – Known as sub-ohm coils, ideal for Direct-to-Lung (DTL) vaping with thick vapour clouds. Best used with high VG e-liquids, such as Dinner Lady 30:70s and Shortfills.
How Long Do Replacement Vape Coils Last?
The lifespan of replacement vape coils depends on:
- Frequency of use: Heavy vapers may need to replace coils more often.
- E-liquid type: High VG e-liquids can wear coils faster.
- Wattage: Higher power settings reduce coil life.
- Build-up: Residue from e-liquids can clog coils over time.
On average, replacement vape coils last one to two weeks before needing a change.
When Should You Replace Your Vape Coil?
It’s time to fit a new coil if you notice:
- Reduced vapour production
- Burnt or unpleasant taste
- Weak flavour from your e-liquid
- Leaking or gurgling sounds
Replacement Vape Coils in Pod Systems
In pod kits, the coil is often built into the pod itself. Instead of changing the coil separately, you simply replace the pod when performance drops. At Vape Dinner Lady, we also stock a wide range of replacement pods for leading pod devices.

FAQ
What is coil resistance?
Coil resistance is measured in ohms and determines how much vapour your device produces. High resistance coils (1.0Ω and above) deliver a tighter draw, while low resistance coils (below 1.0Ω) use more power for bigger vapour clouds.
When should I change my coil?
Replace your vape coil when vapour output decreases or when your e-liquid begins to taste burnt or muted.

Need to know more about our products, find the most popular questions below....What is a vape coil?
A vape coil is a crucial component of any vaping device, consisting of wire wound into a coil shape and wicking material that absorbs the e-liquid. When activated, it heats the e-liquid into vapor that you then inhale.
How often do vape coils need to be replaced?
The lifespan of a vape coil can vary significantly based on usage, the type of e-liquid, and the power level it's used at. Typically, a coil can last anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks. Signs you need a replacement include diminished flavor, a burnt taste, or reduced vapor production.
Are vape coils interchangeable between different brands/models?
Many vape coils are specific to the device or brand they are designed for. However, there are instances where certain brands or models share compatible coils. Always check compatibility before attempting to interchange coils.
What’s the difference between sub-ohm and above-ohm coils?
Sub-ohm coils have a resistance of less than 1 ohm, producing more vapour and flavour but requiring more power.
Above-ohm coils have a resistance above 1 ohm, generating less vapour, suitable for mouth-to-lung vaping, and tend to use less power.
How do I prime a vape coil?
Priming a coil involves adding a few drops of e-liquid directly to the wicking material and letting it soak in before the first use. This ensures the wick is saturated and reduces the risk of burning the coil when first vaped.
What causes a vape coil to burn out?
Coils can burn out due to frequent usage, high wattage, chain vaping, or not priming the coil properly before use. Using thicker e-liquids or those with higher sugar content can also shorten coil life.
Can I clean and reuse a vape coil?
While you can clean a vape coil to extend its life slightly, it is generally a short-term solution. Soaking in warm water or vinegar can remove some residue, but performance may not return to its original state. Eventually, replacement will be necessary.
How does coil resistance affect vaping?
Coil resistance affects both the volume of vapor produced and the overall flavour experience. Lower resistance (sub-ohm) coils produce warmer, more copious vapor suitable for direct lung inhales, while higher resistance coils are better for mouth-to-lung inhales, resembling traditional cigarette smoking.
What types of vape coils are there?
Vape coils come in various types, including:
Single and Dual Coils: Signifies the number of coils in the atomizer.
Mesh Coils: Made from a metal mesh, providing a larger surface area for more even heating.
Ceramic Coils: Utilize a ceramic material for heating and wicking, often lasting longer and providing purer flavour.
What wattage should I use with my coil?
Wattage depends on the coil's resistance and the desired vaping experience. Coils often have a recommended wattage range stamped on them. Staying within this range can optimize coil life and performance.
How do I know if my coil is compatible with temperature control (TC) vaping?
TC compatible coils are typically made from specific types of wire including nickel (Ni200), titanium (Ti), and stainless steel (SS). Always check your device and coil specifications to ensure compatibility.
Why does my new coil taste burnt?
A new coil may taste burnt if it wasn't primed correctly, the wattage is set too high, or if it's being used too vigorously immediately after installation. Ensure proper priming, start at a lower wattage, and gradually increase to avoid this issue.
Can the type of e-liquid I use affect my coil?
Yes, the viscosity of the e-liquid (PG/VG ratio) and its sweetness can affect coil life. High VG liquids are thicker and may clog coils more quickly, while sweeter liquids can cause quicker buildup and degradation.
What is coil gunk, and how can I avoid it?
Coil gunk is the buildup of residue from e-liquids on the coil, affecting taste and vapor production. Using clearer e-liquids with less sweetness and not exceeding the recommended wattage can help minimize gunk buildup.
Can I switch e-liquids without changing the coil?
Yes, you can switch e-liquids without changing the coil, but it may take a few puffs for the previous flavour to clear out. For significantly different flavours (e.g., mint to fruit), you might prefer to change the coil to avoid flavour mixing.
