How Do I Choose the Right Coil Resistance for My Needs?
If you're transitioning from smoking or prefer a familiar cigarette-like experience, choose MTL coils with higher resistance (0.8 ohm or above). These work well with higher nicotine strengths and provide a satisfying throat hit.
Sub-ohm coils (below 1.0 ohm) are ideal for those seeking bigger clouds. However, remember that sub-ohm vaping requires lower nicotine strengths to prevent harsh throat hits.
New vapers typically find MTL coils more comfortable to start with, as they closely mimic smoking and are less overwhelming. Check out our guide to the best vape coils for detailed recommendations.

How Long Do Vape Coils Typically Last?
Coil lifespan varies depending on several factors. Read our complete guide on vape coil lifespan for detailed information:
- Vaping frequency
- E-liquid type (sweetened liquids reduce lifespan)
- Power settings
- Maintenance habits
Generally, you can expect:
- MTL coils: 2-4 weeks with regular use
- Sub-ohm coils: 1-2 weeks with regular use
Signs it's time to change your coil:
- Burnt taste
- Reduced flavour
- Decreased vapour production
- Gurgling sounds
