What are pods and coils?

Pods and Coils play an essential role in vaping. They are the main component in heating your e-liquid to turn it into vapour. 

Coils are the heating element that “vaporises” e-liquid. Coils can be held inside either a pod or a tank. 

  • Prefilled pods such as Elf Bar's Elfa Pro Pods are all-in-one cartridges for the coil and e-liquid. There is no need to change the coil or vape juice; just use it and then dispose of it!
  • Refillable pods such as Vaporesso's Xros Pods allow you to refill with your favourite e-liquid. Some include a fixed coil, while in others, you can change the coil inside! 
  • Coils are usually considered a “step above” built-in vape pods because they allow more experienced vapers to customise their inhale by changing the coil's resistance. Replacement vape coils are commonly associated with advanced/sub-ohm vape kits. 

Most popular vape brands allow vapers to change the resistance of vape pods and coils they can use in their current device. This allows brands to allow vape enthusiasts to find the perfect inhale for them.

FAQ

 The resistance of vape coils and pods is measured in ohms or Ω. 

Here’s a quick, simple breakdown of vape resistance: High–resistance coils and pods with resistance above 1.0 ohm will produce less vapour with a tighter inhale for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping. Lower-resistance coils and pods below 1.0 ohm are chosen by those seeking to produce thicker vape clouds with a more intense flavour.

DON’T FORGET: The vape pods and coils you use will need to be fully compatible with your vape kit/vape mod. Make sure you check the box to ensure the vape coils/pods you buy fit your device, failing to do so could cost you money!

 Pods and coils each come with their own set of unique advantages & benefits:

  • Pods: These are designed to be the easiest system to use for rechargeable pod kits. Pods are all-in-one components that combine the e-liquid chamber with the coil. If you're a new vaper, vape pods provide everything you need to get started – just click to fit your pod on top of your pod kit/mod and start vaping!

Pod devices are often inhale-activated, which helps users mimic the inhale of traditional cigarettes. Vape pods are the gold-standard choice for beginners because they often come prefilled with e-liquid. No vape coil replacements are required. 

Plus, vape pods are super compact and portable too so you can enjoy vaping on the go without having to worry about bulky equipment weighing you down. You just have to carry a spare of pods around along with some e-liquid and you can vape anywhere with ease!

Vape pods are designed to work well with nicotine salts because they deliver a satisfying nicotine relief with a moderate throat hit. 

Brands are constantly releasing new kinds of refillable vape pods so make sure you check with your favourite vape hardware brand!

  • Coils: Coils allow for more customisation in your vape. Choosing your own vape coils (or making your own vape coils, if you're really a vape expert!) gives you the freedom to tweak your inhale to your exact specifications. Swapping out coils is also a great way to try loads of different flavours, plus they can be super cost-effective too.

Unlike vape pods which offer all the convenience you’d ever need with a vape-on-the-go kit, coils let you alter the flavour intensity, vapour production, and nicotine delivery of your e-liquid. For those who enjoy a personalised vape experience and want to explore the full potential of their e-liquids, coils remain the top choice.

Choosing between pods and coils often depends on how much customisation and upkeep/repairs you prefer.

 Switching to vape pods means no more smoke-free complications or messy refills. Unlike traditional e-cig devices that come fitted with coils and tanks, pod vape kits are designed to be user-friendly and low-maintenance. All you have to do is insert it into the top of the device and fill it with an e-liquid. No need to worry about fiddly coil changes or unnecessary spillage. 

Some more modern vape devices even have a magnetic strip inside of the top of the vaping device that lets the user just slip or “click” it into place.

 The short answer is yes, but flavour-wise, it’s not recommended. You can fill your vape pod with a different flavoured type of vape juice. But it’s super important to remember that the wicking material inside the pod may still hold the previous e-liquid so it may taste a little off!

 Freesmo has a wide range of e-cig coils available to suit different devices and vaping styles. Here’s how all the different kinds of coil affect your vape inhale:

  • Standard coils: These coils are common in starter kits and mouth-to-lung MTL devices. They usually have a higher resistance and provide a smooth throat hit. Their resistance is above 1.0Ω.
  • Sub-ohm coils: These coils are ideal for advanced vapers who enjoy more vapour production and a customised experience. They’re designed for direct-to-lung DTL vaping & come with a lower resistance below 1.0Ω. Sub-ohm coils work best with high-wattage devices and thicker e-liquids with higher VG ratios.

Meshed coils: These coils increase the surface area of wicking material absorption. This structure helps to increase the heat-up time and deliver a richer flavour. Their criss-cross structure also extends coil lifespan. So with meshed coils you win both ways on cost savings and enhanced quality. These coils spread heat more evenly and offer faster heating, improved flavour, and larger vapour production, suitable for both MTL and DTL styles depending on the coil’s design.

Mesh coils are especially popular among seasoned vapers, thanks to their even heating and improved wicking. These coils deliver consistent flavour and faster heating, and they increase coil lifespan, too! 

Meshed coils have become increasingly popular for daily vaping. Their unique design increases contact with the e-liquid, leading to a more balanced e-liquid atomisation. These coils are especially popular in advanced kits and sub-ohm devices, offering vapers a powerful hit without compromising flavour. If you’re serious about vaping, meshed coils offer a noticeable improvement in experience and coil longevity.

 Here are a few brands that use mesh coils in their devices: Elf Bar, Lost Mary, Vaporesso, and Voopoo.

 Vape coils are the heating elements responsible for transforming e-liquid into vapour. 

Here’s how it works: when you press the device’s fire button (or inhale on the drip-tip), electrical current flows from the battery to the coil. The coil is wrapped around a special kind of wicking material. This wicking material is usually made of cotton but can also be made from wood pulp. When the coil heats up, it vaporises the e-liquid from the wick, producing a satisfying inhalable vapour.

 The lasting time of vape pods can vary depending on several factors, including battery capacity and usage frequency. Most pod devices are designed to last several months with regular use, thanks to their durable construction and efficient design. Replaceable or refillable pods can further extend the overall lifespan of the device. On average, a refillable pod can last for around 3-5 days before needing a refill, while a prefilled pod can last for around 1-2 weeks, depending on usage. This makes pod devices a convenient and long-lasting option for vapers.

Our products are 100% UK compliant & fully compatible with a huge variety of vape kits and brands, helping you keep your device running smoothly and delivering an exceptional experience. If you’re new to vaping and you're just looking to explore & experiment with new flavours, Freesmo’s replacement pods and coils are here to provide you with the reliability and quality you need!
