One of the most frequent questions our Vaporistas receive is: "Bro, if I use this coil, what liquid is suitable?"

It's understandable, because choosing liquid based on coil ohms is indeed tricky. If you choose incorrectly, the consequence is that the flavor won't be fully released or the coil will burn out very easily. 

To maximize your vaping experience, this time Vaporista Vapeboss will provide the complete formula. Before delving into the specific numbers, let's first discuss the characteristics of the three main types of e-liquids out there.

What is Suitable for Freebase Liquid

According to Vaporista Vapeboss, freebase liquid has a strong flavor character and various flavor options, as well as a low nicotine level (around 3mg-12mg).

So if you like and want to find a diverse combination of liquid flavors, then freebase liquid is the right choice for you.

However, freebase liquids are usually used by people who switch from pods to mods or pods to AIOs (that support freebase), therefore if you are a pod user, freebase liquid is not the right choice.

What is Suitable for Salt Nic Liquid

Next, Vaporista Vapeboss also explained about salt nic liquid. Salt nic liquid, or salt nicotine, is very different from freebase liquid, because salt nic liquid tends to have a less strong flavor than freebase and a high nicotine level (around 15mg-50mg).

The extraction process of salt nic liquid is also different from freebase, therefore salt nic liquid is only suitable for use in pods or AIOs (that support salt nic).

And also, salt liquid is usually packaged in 15ml to 30ml bottles, although there are some 60ml bottles, they are not common.

What is Suitable for Pod Friendly Liquid

According to Vaporista Vapeboss, pod-friendly liquid is a newcomer liquid that can be said to be in between freebase and salt nic.

Pod-friendly liquid has a strong taste like freebase, but the extraction and texture of pod-friendly liquid are made like salt nic and have a nicotine level that is neither too low nor too high (around 9-35mg).

So, Vaporista Vapeboss recommends this liquid if you are using an AIO and if you want a strong taste but a smooth nicotine sensation.

Types of Ohms Suitable for Liquid Types

This is the most important point, because the coil ohm will determine the liquid's compatibility for proper use.

Vaporista Vapeboss explains that coil ohms are usually determined by the device. If the device is a pod with a power output below 18 watts, the coil is only 1.0-1.2 Ohms, and that is suitable for salt nic or pod-friendly liquids.

Then, for pod devices with 40-50 watts of power, there will usually be 0.3 Ohm, 0.6 Ohm, 0.8 Ohm up to 1.2 Ohm coils which are suitable for freebase.

Coils 0.6 Ohm and 0.8 Ohm and above, such as 1.0 Ohm or 1.2 Ohm, are suitable for salt nic and pod-friendly liquids.

Vaporista Vapeboss also added that if the device supports up to 80 watts of power, there will usually be 0.2 Ohm, 0.16 Ohm, and 0.15 Ohm coils. These coil types are definitely suitable for freebase liquid.

So, the conclusion is that if the coil is above 0.6 Ohm, such as 0.8 Ohm, 1.0 Ohm, and 1.2 Ohm, it is suitable for salt nic or pod-friendly liquid (this also applies to integrated cartridge coils). For coils below 0.6 Ohm, such as 0.4 Ohm, 0.3 Ohm, 0.2 Ohm, and 0.15 Ohm, it is suitable for freebase.
