A typical vape coil has a lifespan of 1 to 5 weeks, depending on how often you use it. Whether you are a beginner or a regular smoker, if you do not pay attention to your vape, it will be quite difficult to detect the signs that you need to change the coil. One of the important things when using a vape is that you must regularly clean and change the coil wire to prolong the life of the vape. This article will summarize some of the most common warning signs.
1. THERE IS A STRANGE OR BURNING TASTE
One of the biggest and most exciting benefits of vaping is that you can experience a wide variety of vape flavors, so one of the easiest ways to know when it’s time to change your coil is if you notice a burnt or off-flavor in your throat while vaping. If your favorite flavor suddenly becomes bland, it could be a sign that your coil or cotton is old and needs to be replaced.
Once you have experienced this feeling, the most important thing you must do is to change the coil before you use it again to avoid affecting the taste and experience when vaping.
2. FREQUENCY OF USE
As mentioned above, coils need to be replaced regularly - on average, people who don't vape often will replace their coils every 3-4 weeks or even longer, but if you vape multiple times a day, the lifespan of your coil will decrease and the frequency of replacement will be faster and more frequent, from 1-3 weeks. You should prepare a few spare coils to ensure you don't run out of coils when they get old, broken or need them.
3. LEAKING
You definitely don’t want your e-liquid to leak into your pocket or vape bag because it’s really annoying, this happens when your coil or e-liquid wick is damaged. If your vape is leaking e-liquid, take it apart and clean it thoroughly before replacing the coil. Leaking can come from a variety of problems, but replacing your coil regularly will help you avoid this as well as having to buy a completely new vape device if e-liquid leaks all over your vape device.
4. LESS SMOKE
Another common sign is that your vape is producing less vapor than usual. If you feel like you’re getting less vapor than usual, try changing the coil and it may help.
5. VAPE HAS A STRANGE SOUND
Strange noises when vaping are also quite common, which is a sign that your coil is not in the best condition. If your vape device is making strange noises every time you vape, replace the coil - if the problem persists even after you vape, it may be time to change, upgrade to another vape device or seek advice from a builder to fix the problem.
To keep your vape device in good condition, it is important to look out for warning signs and replace your coils regularly. Not only will this save you money, but it will also ensure you get the best tasting e-liquid experience possible.
