No matter what type of vaping device you own, changing a vape coil is going to be a regular part of your routine. To maintain the best possible flavor and performance, you’ll need to replace the coil in your vape tank or pod system every few days or so.

As with so many other aspects of vaping, though, there is a right way to change a vape coil if you want to have the best possible experience – and that’s what you’re going to learn from reading this article. So, when is the right time to change a vape coil? How do you change a coil if you want it to produce the best flavor and last as long as it can? Let’s dive in and answer your questions.

How to Know When to Change a Vape Coil

So, when should you change a vape coil? The short answer is that it’s time to replace your coil when you’re no longer happy with the flavor. When a coil is past its prime, you may notice the following changes in flavor when you vape.

You may find that the flavor of your e-liquid begins to lack definition; you’re no longer able to taste the subtle notes in your favorite vape juice.

You may find that your e-liquid has seemingly become sweeter and that the sweetness is so exaggerated that it covers the e-liquid’s other flavor notes.

You may find that your e-liquid has begun to taste burnt. The burnt flavor may taste like deeply caramelized sugar, or it may almost taste like smoke.

When a vape coil’s wick or heating surface is badly burned, you may also notice a sensation of irritation or tightness in the back of your throat when you vape. If you’ve been using a coil for a while and experience throat irritation that you didn’t feel when the coil was new, it’s definitely time to change the coil.


A vape coil has a finite life, but the fact that the flavor quality has begun to degrade doesn’t mean that you need to replace your coil immediately. Vape coils can become expensive if you’re replacing them every day. If a coil’s flavor has begun to change – but you’re still happy with its performance overall – you can continue using the coil until you’re no longer happy with it.
