Wondering how to get your e-cigarette back to optimal performance? This guide is not to be missed!
Introduction
The coil is one of the core components of vapes, which converts electricity into heat, heats the oil and atomizes it into vapour for inhalation. Different coil designs directly affect the taste and experience:
| Cotton Coil | Soft and smooth texture | Solo Pod Kit |
| Dual Coil | Increases heating efficiency and vapour | Uwell – Valyrian 2 |
| Mesh Coil | Evenly heats up for more intense flavour | IGET Moon, IGET Bar Plus 10000 Puffs, IGET Halo Vape |
| QAUQ Coil | Ensures smoothness and consistency | Lost Mary Tappo |
| Ceramic Coil | Reduces mushiness and improves texture | ALT. Nu Disposable Vape |
High-quality coils restore flavour and enhance the overall vaping experience, ensuring that every puff is full of satisfaction. Here are the most common coil issues and their solutions.
Common Coil Issues: Top 6 problems and solutions
#1 Bad taste or burnt coils
💦 Dry firing (without applying E-liquid)
Drying out of the coil can cause the cotton or wire to burn, resulting in a burnt flavour.
Please fully moisten the coil with vape juice before use. New coils need to be moistened for a longer period.
Once burnt, the flavour will remain even after cleaning, and the coils should be replaced immediately. IGET vape store near me offers a great deal with free shipping on purchases over $39.
💦 Wattage set too high
Too high a wattage setting can cause the coil temperature to rise rapidly, preventing the e-liquid NZ from vaporizing in time and overheating the coil locally, drying it out and burning it.
To avoid this problem, do not subject new coils to too high wattage and use them at the manufacturer’s recommended power settings.
💦 Continuous vaping
Frequent vaping will cause the coil to overheat and shorten its life. Depending on the device’s design, please allow at least 20 seconds between puffs.
💦 Insufficient e-liquid
When the vape juice in the oil reservoir is lower than the saturation hole of the coil, the coil will dry out and produce a burnt flavour.
Always keep the reservoir full of E-liquid. The IGET EDGE LP10000‘s large 18ml capacity is designed to help users avoid such problems.
#2 Clogged coils
Using high VG eliquid NZ can lead to deposits or crystallization of e-juice that can clog coils. Lack of regular cleaning can also lead to a buildup of vape juice residue and impurities.
Standard coils (1.5Ω) use e-juice with a 70% PG/30% VG ratio. To remove any residue, clean the coils regularly with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol or a clean, soft cloth.
#3 Coil leakage
Missing or misplaced o-rings, incorrect coil installation, or worn seals can cause vape oil to leak.
Check that the o-rings are intact and correctly placed and that the coil is tightly fitted, and replace any damaged seals. If the problem persists, try replacing the device for testing.
#4 Degraded coils
Coil degradation is usually caused by overuse, too high a power setting, or unsuitable vape oils, which can leave deposits and damage the coil.
This condition requires a new coil, which is more affordable to purchase with the IGET bulk.
After replacing the new single coil, adjust the power to the recommended range (Vaporesso GEN 200 Mod Kit: 5-220w) to avoid overuse. Choose high-quality vape juice and clean the coil regularly to minimize wear and prolong its life.
#5 Shorted coils
Common causes of coil shorts include improper installation, short circuits inside the device, or the coil coming into contact with other metal parts.
In addition, wet coils or leaking vape oil inside the device can also cause short-circuiting problems.
Make sure the coils are properly installed and sealed, and clean them regularly to avoid e-liquid leakage.

#6 Broken coils
Vape coil breakage is usually caused by overheating due to too high power settings, prolonged and frequent use, poor-quality coils, or improper installation.
Adjust the power to the recommended range to avoid overuse and make sure the coil is properly installed. Choosing high-quality coils can effectively reduce the chance of breakage.
