The lower the resistance of a coil, the more current can flow through the circuit; this means that your coils will become hotter and more of your vape juice will be vaporized.
Not sure which resistance level to go for when choosing a coil? Higher resistance levels tend to be more popular with beginners, but please see below for more information:
Lower resistance coils:
- stronger throat hit
- more heat
- more vapour
- uses up more battery liferictobacconist.co.uk/hula
- uses more e-liquid
Higher resistance coils:
- smoother throat hit
- less heat
- less vapour
- uses up less battery life
- uses less e-liquid
Vaping with coils with a resistance below 1.0ohm is referred to as sub-ohm vaping; you usually need a sub-ohm tank or device to be able to do this, although many refillable pod devices now support resistances as low as 0.4ohms such as the Vaporesso XROS 4.
When choosing an e-liquid to go with your coils, please note the following: if your coils have a resistance of over 1.0ohm, you should only use liquids with a 50/50 PG/VG balance, or with a higher concentration of PG (such as 70PG/30VG). Liquids with more VG than this are usually only suitable for sub-ohm coils, as they are thicker and will not be absorbed by standard >1 ohm coils (found in most vape pen kits).

Coils and refilling too complicated? Try big puff vape kits such as the Lost Mary BM6000 or the PIXL 8000.
