How To Change A Vape Coil

Alright, buddy, let's dive into this vape coil changing business, shall we? It's not as scary as it sounds, I promise. In fact, it's about as complicated as changing a lightbulb. Well, maybe a tiny bit more, but only because lightbulbs don't have wicks and cotton involved. Yet.

First Things First: When to Change Your Coil

Now, you might be wondering, "How do I know when it's time to change my coil, oh wise one?" Well, my friend, there are a few telltale signs. First, if your vape starts tasting like someone burned your favorite socks (and not in a good way), that's a sure sign. Another one is if your vape starts to produce less vapor than a sneeze on a windy day. Lastly, if your coil starts to look like it's been through a war zone, it's time for a change.

Gather Your Troops (I Mean, Tools)

Before we start, let's make sure you've got everything you need. You'll need a new coil (obviously), a screwdriver (usually Phillips), some cotton, scissors, and some e-liquid. Oh, and a towel. No, not for the five-second rule, just in case you make a mess. We don't want any e-liquid related disasters here.

Disarm the Vape: Removing the Old Coil

Alright, let's get this show on the road. First, you'll want to unscrew the tank from the mod. Then, take off the base of the tank. Now, you should see your old coil. Using your screwdriver, gently unscrew the coil from the tank. If it's being stubborn, don't force it. You don't want to break anything. Patience, grasshopper.

Prep the New Coil

While you're waiting for the old coil to give up, let's get the new one ready. Take your new coil and give it a quick rinse under some hot water. This helps to remove any residue from the manufacturing process. Then, let it dry for a bit. While you're waiting, you can practice your best impression of a statue. Or not.

Once it's dry, it's time to prime the coil. Drip some e-liquid onto the cotton at the top of the coil. You don't need to drown it, just give it a good soak. Then, let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the liquid. This helps to prevent dry hits when you first start vaping.

Install the New Coil

Now that your new coil is primed and ready, it's time to install it. Screw it into the tank base, making sure it's nice and tight. Then, reattach the base to the tank. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Wick It Up

But wait, we're not done yet! We need to wick that bad boy. Take a piece of cotton, about the width of a spaghetti noodle, and cut it in half. Then, stuff one end into the coil, leaving the other end hanging out. Repeat on the other side. Now, trim the cotton so it's level with the top of the coil. You don't want it sticking up too high, or it might cause leaks.

Prime and Vape

Alright, we're almost there! Screw the tank back onto the mod, and give it a few minutes to sit. This lets the cotton absorb more e-liquid. Then, take a few dry puffs without firing the mod. This helps to saturate the cotton. Finally, turn on your mod and vape at a low wattage to start. This gives the coil time to heat up slowly and evenly.

And there you have it, folks! You've just successfully changed a vape coil. You should be feeling pretty proud of yourself right about now. I know I am, just for being your guide on this vape-tastic journey. Now, go forth and vape responsibly, my friend. And remember, if you ever find yourself in a vape-related pickle again, I'll be here to help. Happy vaping!
