Hello, Boss! You must be familiar with the term vape coil. Whether you're hanging out, at home, or having a casual chat at work, the name "coil" is probably mentioned often. But what exactly is a vape coil?

Vape coil is one of the main components in a vape that functions as a heater. So, this coil is what works to turn liquid into the delicious vapor you inhale every day. The coil connects the battery to the atomizer and is the main determinant of the flavor and amount of vapor produced.

Some coils are simple, like single coils, but others are complex, such as fused clapton coils, which are twisted from several wires into one. The more complex the shape, usually the better the flavor and vapor.

Well, in this article, we will discuss coils in more detail, including their types, sizes, and tips for maintaining them so they last longer. Let's read until the end, Vapers!

Types of Vape Coils

Although they can consist of several materials, in terms of specifications, vape coils are divided into two different types. Coils for pods and coils for mods, read more below.

1. Coils for Pods

For those of you who use pods, here are some common coil types:

• MTL (Mouth To Lung): The sensation is similar to conventional cigarettes. The airflow is small, suitable for those who like a tight draw and a strong flavor hit.
• DTL (Direct To Lung): More open! The airflow is large, suitable for those who like to produce a lot of vapor and totally cloud chase.
• Mesh Coil: It looks like a mesh. The vapor is smooth, the flavor is even, and it's suitable for those who want to get all the layers of liquid flavor out.
• Ceramic Coil: New technology! Made from ceramic, it lasts longer and has a sharper flavor. No more dry hits!

2. Coils for Mods

If you use a mod, the options are much more numerous. Starting from:

• Kanthal
• Nichrome (Ni80)
• Stainless Steel
• Clapton
• Alien
• Mesh Coil

And many more!

But the most common in Indonesia are usually kanthal, nichrome, clapton, and alien coils. These types of coils are tough for use in high-wattage mods.

To make it easier, you can use prebuilt coils. These are coils that are already made and ready to install—no need to bother winding the wire yourself.
