The lifespan of a vape coil typically ranges from 1 to 2 weeks, but several factors influence this:
-
Type of E-Liquid: Sweet or high-VG e-liquids can build up residue on the coil faster, shortening its lifespan. Unflavored or low-sweetener liquids are gentler on coils and can help them last longer.
-
Frequency of Use: Heavy or frequent use can wear out a coil faster, while moderate use might extend it closer to two weeks or more.
-
Temperature and Wattage: Higher wattage or temperature settings can stress the coil, burning it out faster. Staying within recommended wattage ranges can help prolong its life.
-
Proper Priming: Properly priming your coil before first use (letting it soak in e-liquid) and avoiding dry hits will prevent early burnout.
-
Device and Coil Quality: Some higher-quality coils last longer than others due to better materials or design. Regular cleaning and maintenance can also help extend the life of some coils, especially those that are designed to be reusable.
In general, signs that a coil needs replacing include a burnt taste, reduced vapor production, or frequent leaking. While 1 to 2 weeks is the average, with proper care, some vapers find they can extend coil life even longer.
