How to Make a Coil Last Longer?
Posted by MAURIZIO GALLI on
Vaping involves heating a coil that is wrapped around a wick and filled with e-liquid. Over time, the coil will eventually burn out and need to be replaced. However, there are some tips and tricks that can help your coil last longer and save you money in the long run. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to make a coil last longer.
Prime Your Coils: Priming your coils is one of the most important steps in ensuring that your coil lasts longer. This involves saturating the cotton wick with e-liquid before use. To prime your coil, add a few drops of e-liquid to the exposed cotton wicks and let them soak for a few minutes. This ensures that the cotton wick is fully saturated with e-liquid before heating.
Use High-Quality E-Liquids: Using high-quality e-liquids is also important for extending the life of your coil. E-liquids high in sugar or artificial sweeteners can cause excess buildup on the coil, leading to a burnt taste and shorter coil life. Choose e-liquids that are made with high-quality ingredients to ensure a cleaner burning coil.
Adjust Wattage: Adjusting the wattage on your device can also help extend the life of your coil. Running a coil at too high of a wattage can cause it to burn out faster, so finding the right wattage that works for your coil is important. Start at a lower wattage and gradually increase until you find the sweet spot where the flavour is at its best without burning out the coil.
Avoid Chain Vaping: Chain vaping, or taking multiple hits in quick succession, can cause the coil to overheat and burn out faster. Take a few seconds between hits to allow the coil to cool down and prevent overheating.
Clean Your Coil: Regularly cleaning your coil can also help extend its life. Remove the coil from the device and rinse it under warm water to remove any excess buildup. Let it air dry before reusing it. You can also use a dry burn method, which involves heating the coil until it glows red-hot, to burn off any excess buildup.
Rotate Your Coils: Another way to extend the life of your coils is to rotate them regularly. This means using multiple coils and switching them out every few days to avoid excess buildup and prolonging their life.
Avoid Dry Hits: Dry hits occur when the coil has insufficient e-liquid, causing the wick to burn. This can cause damage to the coil and significantly reduce its lifespan. Always keep your coil saturated with e-liquid to avoid dry hits.
In conclusion, making a coil last longer requires proper care and maintenance. Always follow proper vaping techniques and care for your coils to enjoy the best vaping experience possible.
