How to replace a vape coil or pod

A step-by-step guide to changing a vape coil or pod, priming it properly, and knowing when it needs replacing — with spares available in Goa.

How do I replace a vape coil or pod?

Empty the tank or pod, unscrew or pull out the old coil, fit the matching replacement, refill, then wait five to ten minutes before vaping so the wick soaks. Replace a coil when the flavour dulls, the device tastes burnt, or it starts leaking.

  • Always use the coil or pod made for your device
  • Prime a new coil: wet the wick holes, refill, wait 5-10 minutes
  • Start at lower power on adjustable devices
  • Typical life is one to two weeks of daily use

Signs a coil or pod is finished

  • Burnt or scorched taste that does not clear after a refill
  • Noticeably weaker flavour than when it was new
  • Leaking around the base or in the airflow channel
  • Gurgling or spitting on every draw

The steps

  • Vape down the remaining liquid or empty the tank
  • Remove the old coil or pod and discard it
  • Check the replacement is the exact model your device takes
  • Fit the new part, wet the wick openings with a few drops of liquid
  • Refill, reassemble, and leave it standing for 5-10 minutes
  • Take two or three short draws without firing, then vape normally

People also ask

How often should a coil be changed?
With daily use, roughly every one to two weeks. Sweet dessert liquids shorten coil life because they leave residue.
Why does my new coil taste burnt?
Almost always because it was not primed. Let a fresh coil soak for five to ten minutes after filling before you vape it.
