How to Get More Life Out of Your Coils and Pods

If you’re using a refillable pod system, coil (or pod) life is one of the biggest factors in your ongoing cost. A few habits make a noticeable difference.

Prime before you vape

When you fit a new coil or pod, give the wicking material a minute or two to fully absorb e-liquid before use. Vaping too soon on a dry coil is one of the most common causes of a harsh, burnt-tasting hit — and it shortens the coil’s life from the very first puff.

Don’t run it dry

Try to top up before the tank or pod is completely empty. Repeatedly vaping on the last few drops starves the wick and accelerates burnout.

Match wattage to the coil

If your device has adjustable power, stick to the range printed on the coil (or in its listing). Running a coil well above its rated wattage burns e-liquid faster than it can wick, which shortens its life and affects flavour.

Rotate flavours thoughtfully

Strong dessert and tobacco flavours tend to leave more residue on a coil than lighter fruit or menthol profiles. If you switch between very different flavours often, expect to replace coils a little more frequently — or keep a dedicated pod for your strongest flavours.
