The resistance of the coil determines the power output and vapor production. Higher resistance coils produce less vapor at lower power, while lower resistance coils produce more vapor at higher power.
Coil Type
Z Series coils are available in different types, including:
– Single-coil: These coils have a single heating element.
– Dual-coil: These coils have two heating elements.
– Mesh-coil: These coils have a mesh structure that provides a larger surface area for vaporization.
– Triple-coil: These coils have three heating elements.
– Quad-coil: These coils have four heating elements.
The type of coil affects the flavor, vapor production, and lifespan of the coil.
Removing the Old Coil
To efficiently replace the coil, you need to first remove the existing one. Here’s a detailed guide to help you do that:
Step 1: Empty the Tank
To start the process, empty any remaining e-liquid from the tank. Remove the top cap and carefully pour out the liquid into a safe container.
Step 2: Unscrew the Base
Once the tank is empty, turn it upside down and unscrew the base. This will detach the base from the rest of the tank.
Step 3: Grip and Pull the Old Coil
Locate the old coil inside the base. It will be connected to the base via two O-rings. Firmly grip the coil’s base (the metal part where the O-rings are located) and pull it straight out of the base. Use a paper towel or cloth to assist with the grip if needed. Be gentle to avoid damaging the coil or O-rings.
Aligning the New Coil
4. **Screw the coil clockwise into the base until it is snug**: Hold the coil upright and align the threads with the corresponding threads on the base. Ensure that the coil is not cross-threaded by carefully aligning it before screwing. Once the coil is properly aligned, begin screwing it into the base by turning it clockwise. Tighten the coil until it is snug, but avoid overtightening as this can damage the threads or the coil.
