Vape Coils

Seeking reliable vape coils? MIST stocks a wide range of replacement coils from trusted brands like Aspire coils, Geekvape coils and Innokin coils. Whether you prefer mouth-to-lung vaping or direct-lung vaping, we can sort you out with both MTL and sub-ohm options.

MTL coils, perfect for nicotine satisfaction and a cigarette-like draw, typically run at lower wattages. Sub-ohm coils, on the other hand, create bigger clouds at higher power settings. For vapers who like to build their own coils, we also stock rebuildable coil heads.

We regularly update our stock to ensure compatibility with the latest vape tanks. Browse our selection to find the perfect match for your device and vaping style.

What’s the Difference Between MTL and Sub-Ohm Coils?

MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) and sub-ohm coils serve different vaping styles and experiences:

MTL Coils:

  • Higher resistance (typically above 0.8 ohm)
  • Designed for tighter, cigarette-like draws
  • Best with higher nicotine strengths (12-20mg)
  • Uses less power (10-25W typically)
  • Perfect for nicotine salts
  • Produces moderate vapour

 

Sub-ohm Coils:

  • Lower resistance (below 0.8 ohm)
  • Creates looser, airier draws
  • Suited for lower nicotine (3-6mg)
  • Requires more power (30-80W typically)
  • Produces large vapour clouds

It should be noted that initially sub-ohm coils consisted of all coils registering less than 1.0ohms of resistance. However, many MTL vape coils and pods are now available in 0.8ohms.

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

 

What Wattage Should I Use With My Coils?

Each coil has a recommended wattage range printed on the side. As a general guide:

 

MTL Coils:

  • 1.0 ohm+: 10-25W
  • 0.8-1.0 ohm: 15-30W

Sub-ohm Coils:

  • 0.5-0.7 ohm: 25-35W
  • 0.2-0.4 ohm: 40-80W

Always start at the lower end of the recommended range and adjust upward to find your sweet spot. If you're experiencing a burnt taste, check our guide on fixing burnt coil taste.

 

Are These Coils Compatible With My Device?

Coil compatibility depends on your device's threading and power capabilities. You'll need to:

 

  1. Check your device's wattage range matches the coil requirements 
  2. Verify the coil size fits your vape tank. The majority of vape tanks and coils have proprietary fittings to prevent cross-brand hybrids.
  3. Ensure your battery can handle the coil's power demands

 

When browsing, match the coil to your specific vape kit model or check the compatibility list provided with each coil product.
