How To Change Coil On Smok Al85

So, there I was, puffing away on my trusty SMOK AL85, when suddenly, it started tasting like I was inhaling a mouthful of pennies. You know that metallic tang, right? Yep, coil's had it. Time for a change, mate.

Now, I'm no stranger to switching out coils, but I've seen some folks out there struggling with it. So, I thought I'd share my wisdom - yes, I'm that guy now - and guide you through the process. Let's dive in, shall we?

First Things First: Gather Your Tools

Before you start, make sure you've got your trusty screwdriver ( Phillips head, mind you, not flathead), a new coil (obviously), and a bit of patience. Oh, and maybe a towel to catch any e-liquid spills. You know, just in case you're a bit of a klutz like me.

Step 1: Disassembly

Alright, let's get this show on the road. First, give your AL85 a good twist to unscrew the tank from the mod. Then, pop off the top cap. You should see your coil right there, just waiting for its eviction notice.

Now, grab your screwdriver and gently unscrew the coil from the base. It might take a bit of wiggling, but don't force it. We don't want any broken parts here. Once it's loose, just pull it out.

Step 2: Clean Up

While you've got the tank disassembled, now's a good time to give it a quick clean. A bit of hot water and some elbow grease should do the trick. Just make sure to let it dry completely before you put it back together.

Step 3: Install the New Coil

Alright, let's get that new coil in there. First, give it a quick rinse with some water to get rid of any machining oil. Then, screw it into the base of the tank. Don't overtighten it, just snug it in there.

Next, pop your new coil into the tank. Make sure the wicking ends are pointing down towards the base. Then, screw the top cap back on and reattach the tank to your mod.

Prime and Wait

Now, it's time to prime your new coil. Drip some e-liquid onto the cotton at the top of the coil, then let it soak in for a few minutes. This gives the cotton a chance to absorb the juice and prevents it from burning when you fire up your mod.

Once you've primed it, fill up your tank with your favorite e-liquid, give it a few minutes to let the cotton really soak it up, and then you're good to go. Just remember to take it slow at first and not chain vape. We don't want to burn out that new coil now, do we?

And there you have it, folks. Changing out the coil on your SMOK AL85 is a breeze once you get the hang of it. So, next time your vape starts tasting like a penny, don't panic. Just grab a new coil and follow these steps. You've got this!

Happy vaping, and remember, if you've got any questions, just holler. I'm always here to help. Well, not always, but you know what I mean.
