Pod System Coils
od system coils are the heating elements used in pod vapes to vaporize e-liquid. They are a critical component of the pod system, influencing both flavor and vapor production. Here’s a comprehensive look at pod system coils:
Key Features of Pod System Coils:
-
Coil Types: Pod system coils come in various types, each designed to suit different vaping styles:
- Mesh Coils: These feature a mesh-like structure that provides a larger surface area for even heating, resulting in better flavor and vapor production. They are known for their quick ramp-up time and consistent performance.
- Regular Coils: Traditional coils made from materials like Kanthal or Stainless Steel. They are effective for standard vaping needs and may be used in both MTL (mouth-to-lung) and DTL (direct-to-lung) setups.
- Ceramic Coils: These coils use a ceramic heating element, which offers a clean flavor and longer lifespan. They are less likely to burn e-liquid and can provide a more consistent taste.
-
Resistance Levels: The resistance of pod system coils usually ranges from 0.5 ohms to 1.5 ohms or more, depending on the design and purpose:
- Low Resistance Coils: Typically below 1.0 ohms, these are used for DTL vaping and require higher wattage. They produce more vapor and often work best with high-VG e-liquids.
- High Resistance Coils: Generally above 1.0 ohms, these are used for MTL vaping and operate at lower wattages. They are ideal for users who prefer a tighter draw and are often used with higher-PG e-liquids.
-
Material: The most common materials for pod system coils include:
- Kanthal: A standard material known for its durability and resistance to high temperatures.
- Nickel (Ni200): Used in temperature control (TC) settings due to its consistent resistance change with temperature.
- Stainless Steel: Versatile and suitable for both TC and wattage modes, known for its resistance to corrosion.
-
Compatibility: Coils are designed specifically for particular pod systems, so it’s important to use the coils that are compatible with your device. Using the wrong coils can lead to poor performance or damage to the pod system.
