Shop for the latest & greatest Sub-Ohm Coils Products from Legion Of Vapers.
Replacement sub-ohm coils for your DTL tank, all in one place. We stock mesh and wire sub-ohm coils from brands including Aspire, GeekVape, Innokin, Lost Vape, OXVA, Uwell and VooPoo, covering resistances from 0.15 ohm up to 0.6 ohm. Whether you’re chasing dense clouds at high wattage or prefer a cooler, restricted DTL draw, there’s a coil here for your setup. Most of our sub-ohm coils are mesh, which means faster heat-up, better surface area coverage and more consistent flavour. Orders over £40 get free UK delivery, and new customers get 5% off their first order. Sub-ohm vaping is the reason most vapers upgrade from a basic starter kit, and the coil is where performance starts.

This is where most buyers get stuck. You’ll see coils listed at 0.15 ohm, 0.3 ohm, 0.5 ohm and everything in between. The resistance affects your wattage requirement, the temperature of the vape, the throat hit and how hard your battery works. Here’s a straightforward breakdown:
The practical differences matter day to day. Lower-resistance coils at high wattage produce more vapour but eat through both battery and e-liquid faster. If you’re carrying a device to work and don’t want to refill twice a day, a 0.4 ohm coil at 50W is a better choice than a 0.15 ohm running flat out. Throat hit also increases with temperature, so if you find a hot vape uncomfortable, step up in resistance rather than stepping down in wattage on a coil that doesn’t suit your style. More on the technical side in our guides to ohms law and variable wattage vs variable voltage.
Resistance doesn’t just change your vape’s temperature and vapour output, it also has a direct impact on how hard your battery works. As a general guide:
If battery life matters more to you than maximum cloud output, choosing a higher-resistance coil is one of the simplest ways to get more use out of a single charge.
We stock coils across a range of styles and price points, so here’s a quick guide to which brands are worth your attention and why.
Sub-ohm coils need a high-VG e-liquid. As a rule, stick to 70% VG as a minimum and ideally 80% VG or above. The thick consistency is what keeps the coil saturated at high temperatures. Run a 50/50 liquid through a sub-ohm coil and the thin PG-heavy mix will vaporise faster than the wick can absorb it, leading to dry hits and a shortened coil life. For most UK vapers, shortfill e-liquids are the practical choice here: they come in 70/30 or 80/20 VG/PG ratios, start at 50ml and work out considerably cheaper per ml than smaller bottles. Browse our high VG e-liquids to find what pairs well with your coil.
One thing worth being direct about: nic salts are not a good fit for sub-ohm tanks. At the wattage levels sub-ohm coils operate at, the nicotine hit from a nic salt liquid becomes uncomfortably harsh. Stick to freebase nicotine at 3mg or 6mg for DTL vaping. See our nic salts vs freebase guide if you want the full comparison, and our breakdown of VG and PG if the ratios are new to you.
Skipping this step is the single most common reason people get a burnt hit from a brand-new coil, and once a coil is burnt, it’s gone.
Before you fire up a new sub-ohm coil, do this:
That five minutes of patience at the start is what separates a coil that lasts two weeks from one that tastes of charcoal on the second puff. Full instructions are in our how to prime a vape coil guide.
Most premature coil deaths come down to one of a handful of avoidable errors:
More detail in our guides to avoiding dry hits and why your vape tastes burnt.
A sub-ohm coil is any coil with a resistance below 1.0 ohm. Lower resistance means more current flows through the coil, which generates more heat, more vapour and generally a more intense flavour hit. These coils are built for direct-to-lung vaping, where you inhale vapour straight into your lungs rather than holding it in your mouth first. Most sub-ohm coils you’ll find today are mesh coils, which use a strip of metal mesh rather than twisted resistance wire. The larger surface area heats liquid more evenly and faster than a traditional coil. For a fuller breakdown of the style, read our guide to sub-ohm vaping or see mesh coils vs regular coils if you want to know the detail.
If you’re putting together a full DTL setup, browse our sub-ohm tanks for compatible hardware, or see the sub-ohm kits range if you’re starting from scratch. Our guide to sub-ohm vaping covers everything else you need to know before you buy.

Sub-ohm refers to any coil with a resistance below 1.0 ohm. Lower resistance allows more electrical current to flow through the coil, which produces more heat, more vapour and more intense flavour than a standard coil. It’s the foundation of direct-to-lung vaping.
Not all kits are compatible. Sub-ohm coils require a mod or device that can deliver enough power, typically 25W or above, and a tank designed for DTL vaping. Mouth-to-lung starter kits and pod devices with above-ohm coils won’t work. Check your tank’s compatibility before ordering. Our beginners guide to vape coils explains this in more detail.
It depends on the resistance. A 0.15 ohm coil typically runs at 60-80W. A 0.3-0.4 ohm coil suits 40-60W. A 0.5-0.6 ohm coil works at 25-40W. Always check the recommended wattage range printed on the coil itself and start at the lower end before working up.
Most sub-ohm coils last between one and two weeks with regular use. Coil life depends on how often you vape, the wattage you run, and whether you’re using the right e-liquid. High-VG liquids and a proper break-in period help coils last longer. See our guide on how long vape coils last for more context.
The clearest signs are a burnt or muted flavour, visible discolouration on the coil head, or a drop in vapour production despite no change to your settings. If your vape is starting to taste off and cleaning the tank doesn’t help, the coil needs changing.
We’d steer you away from it. Nic salts at sub-ohm wattages deliver a very harsh throat hit that most vapers find uncomfortable. Freebase nicotine at 3mg or 6mg is the standard choice for DTL vaping at these power levels. If you’re using a lower-wattage restricted DTL coil around 0.5-0.6 ohm, some vapers use a low-strength nic salt, but it’s not the typical use case.
