Whilst vaping is really rather simple on the surface, the components, reactions and technology that makes the device is actually quite complex. From e-liquid blends to heat not burn technology, there’s a lot that has to go into the design of a vape device, and that of the coil. You’ll find replacement coils being sold in almost every high street retailer and e-liquid wholesale distributors in the UK, which just goes to show how important they are in the upkeep and potency of the device and e-liquid you use. But what are they and how do they work?

As with the best vape liquid brands in the UK, e-cig companies design their devices with specific styles and modes of vaping in mind. From the simple vape pen to the complex mechanical mod, the many vape devices on the market are nothing without their coils, atomisers and clearomisers. No one would blame you for getting confused between these components, and the reality is that there is a lot to get your head around when comes to buying the right component for your device. 

What Is A Coil?

A coil is the part of a vape device that transfers heat generated by the battery into the atomiser and clearomiser. Here the vape liquid is heated up and turned into vapour, and all because of the coil and its capacity for transferring and generating heat. Coils can come built into the atomiser, or they can be bought separately and modified by the user. The latter is mostly the case when using a rebuildable deck or a mechanical mod, that requires more tinkering by the user. 

Ohm’s Law

Whether it be premium nicotine salt e-liquids or clearance vape juice in the UK, vapour potency all comes down to how you use Ohm’s Law. Ohm’s Law provides an easy way to understand the voltage (the electricity produced by a device), current (the flow of electricity) and resistance (or Ohms) in your vape device. We usually measure the power of the coil in ohms, meaning that the wire in your device produces a specific amount of resistance that is then set up against the power flowing the vape device. 

The best way to work out how the resistance of your coil affects the amount of vapour being produced is with this simple formula - Voltage = Current x Resistance.

Different Coils For Different Modes

Coils can come in many different conductive materials and each has its benefits and setbacks when it comes to building your own vapes. For instance, the nickel coil wire is best used for temperature control vaping, whilst nichrome coils accommodate variable wattage vaping. Most atomiser coils are inbuilt to the component, which itself is compatible only with specific devices.

Atomisers, Clearomisers And The Replacement Coil Packs

It’s worth remembering that when buying coils for a mod build, often they’ll come complete with your atomiser or clearomiser. Whilst some vape devices may require you to replace your coil wire specifically, especially if you’re a DIY vape builder, it’s important to know which type of coil corresponds to the type of vaping experience you want.
