What Are Pre-Built Coils?

Using quality coils contributes to a longer lifespan for pods and creates purer flavour. The way vape coils work is incredibly simple. A coil is a length of coiled nichrome wire wrapped around a wick that absorbs e-liquid from the vape tank. The coil converts power from the battery into heat, turning the e-liquid in the wick into vapour.

Premade coils are available in a variety of builds, materials, and resistances suitable for different vaping styles. Using various types of wires and wicks can change vapour production, enhance flavours and prolong your coils’ lifespan.

What Premade Coils Should I Choose?

Choose high-resistance, plus-ohm MTL prebuilt coils if you prefer a tighter draw and throat hit similar to experiencing a traditional cigarette. If you prefer more open draws and dense clouds of vapour, choose a prebuilt sub-ohm DTL coil.

Different coils are compatible with different vape kits. Check that the replacement premade coils you purchase are compatible with your kit for a seamless fit and the vaping experience you love.

Our extensive collection includes Clapton coils, mesh-style coils, staple coils, juggernaut coils, alien wires, braided coils, tiger coils, twisted coils, transformer coils, and mesh strips. Stick to one type of coil or choose a pack of mixed coils to experiment with.

What Are the Different Types of Coils?

If you’re not knowledgeable about pre-built coils, shopping for good coils can be overwhelming. Read on for a brief explanation of what each coil is and its impact on your vaping experience.

• Alien coils: Alien coils are named after their unique “X” shape, which resembles an alien’s head. A thin wire is wrapped with a thicker wire, resulting in a larger surface area. The larger surface area allows e-liquid to heat up faster, creating more vapour.
• Braided coils: Suited to advanced vapers, braided coils are often found in RDA and RTA vapes.
• Ceramic coils: Ceramic coils use ceramic to encase the metal coil. It reduces dry hits, absorbs e-liquid better and extends your coil’s lifespan.
• Juggernaut coils: Made from two parallel small-gauge wires wrapped around a larger-gauge wire core. They’re used by sub-ohm vapers.
• Mesh coils: Mesh coils are typically used in sub-ohm vaping. They’re a mesh screen that offers a larger surface area.
• Staple coils: Staple coils are rectangular and look like a staple. They’re made out of ribbon cores stacked together, then Claptoned with a fine outer gauge wire.
• Tiger coils: A tiger coil is a twisted coil that has a single round strand and a single flat ribbon strand. It has more grooves and pockets than a standard wire because of the two differently shaped wires. This creates warmer and more dense vapour.
• Transformer coils: These coils are tricore-fused Clapton or regular-fused Clapton coils that have been claptoned with regular wire. It’s a very hot coil build and not suitable for low-powered devices.
• Twisted coils: Twisted coils are made from twisting two flat wires together to form a spiral. The grooves created allow for better e-liquid flow, enhancing flavour.
• Fused Clapton coils: This is a complex coil structure used in electronic vapes. A thin-gauge wire is wrapped around at least two thicker parallel wires. They’re available in various resistances, making them a fit for both MTL and DTL vaping.

Almost all of these pre-built coils are variations of Clapton coils. Clapton coils are composed of a thin wire wrapped around one or more thicker core wires. They’re made with different kinds of vape wires and gauges. Mostly, Kanthal, stainless steel, nickel or nichrome.

Prebuilt Coil Material and Resistance

Coil material can affect their resistance and heating capacity. Nickel coils have much lower resistance and are used in temperature control mode. Kanthal is compatible with various wattages and is durable, making it popular for both beginners and advanced vapers.

Since stainless steel can be used to control wattage and temperature, it provides cleaner flavours. Ceramic coils are known for their longevity and ability to reduce burnt hits.

Prebuilt Coils Frequently Asked Questions

Read on for answers to common prebuilt vape coils.

What’s the average lifespan of prebuilt vape coils?

Many vapers need to change their coils once every one to four weeks. This depends on how frequently they vape, coil wattage and the type of e-liquid they use. In theory, prebuilt vape coils can last for months, as you can clean them by soaking them in alcohol.

If you get that burnt taste, it’s usually a sign that the wicking material needs to be replaced, not the whole coil.

If your vape tastes burnt

• Remove the old cotton.
• Add a new wick.
• Prime it by letting it soak up vape juice for 10 minutes.

What are the benefits of using pre-made coils?

Pre-built coils allow you to tailor your vaping experience to your preferences and experiment with new styles.

Prebuilt vape coils offer unparalleled convenience because they’re easy to replace. When one coil reaches the end of its lifespan, simply remove it and clip in a new one. Your vape should offer consistent flavour with each coil change.

Pre-made coils are cleaner than building one yourself. Thanks to precision engineering, you’re less likely to suffer a half-built deck rolling over, e-liquid leaking through loose connections or draining holes that haven’t been stuffed properly.

Creating DIY coils is a considerable amount of work and needs a coil master's touch and knowledge of Ohm's law. You need to design, calculate and cut your coil wire before testing, fine-tuning, retesting and filling your coils. With pre-made vape coils, there’s no hassle or fuss.

How do I choose great coils?

Some coils are more compatible with different resistances than others. For example, fused Clapton coils are a better fit for MTL and DTL vaping because they’re suitable for low-powered, sub-ohm devices. On the other hand, transformer coils are better for vapers who use high-powered devices and require hotter coils.

You should also choose coils based on whether they’re compatible with your device’s deck and box (if mod vaping). Some tanks need specific premade coils.

Pre-built coils can influence how vapes produce clouds and e-liquid flavour. Coils built for sub-ohm vaping produce bigger clouds, while coils built for MTL vaping are perfect for more intense flavours.
