What are vape coils?

The first thing to address is that vape coils are known by different names. You might see them called coils, atomizers, atomizer heads; the list goes on. But they are all the same thing.They are an essential part of your vaping experience as they are the component in your e-cig that creates the vapour that you inhale. While there are a mind-boggling amount of vape coils available for different e-cigs, they are all built in fundamentally the same way. They are made up of an outer casing, made from metal. Inside this casing is a wire coil and then there is wicking material; this is usually cotton and is either pushed through the coil or wrapped around it.As you press the button on your vape battery, it delivers power to the coil. As this power is delivered through the coil, it heats up. At the same time you are drawing on your vape, which, via a capillary action, is pulling e-liquid into the wicking material. The coil is heating up and you are drawing e-liquid onto it through the wicking, this e-liquid hits the coil (which is hot) and turns into a vapour, which you then inhale.They all work in this way. There might be differences, such as the amount of wire coils inside, what the coils are made of or how much wicking material there is, but this is how they all function. Nice and simple.
