Whether you’re shopping for a new vape or just browsing reviews of the latest vape gear, you’ve probably noticed that mesh coils are mentioned and advertised everywhere. But what exactly are mesh coils, and what makes them so popular? More importantly, should your next vape tank or pod system feature a mesh coil? Let’s break it down:

So, What are mesh coils?

To understand what a mesh coil is, it’s helpful to first grasp how traditional vape coils work. Before mesh coils, all vape coils functioned in essentially the same way. In a traditional coil, the component responsible for vaporizing the e-liquid was a heating wire wound into a spiral shape. This is why it’s often referred to as an “atomizer coil”—because the heating element itself is a coil.

However, mesh coils differ from traditional coils because they’re not made from wire at all. Instead, a mesh coil uses a thin strip of mesh—similar to a window screen—that is typically rolled into a tight cylinder and installed vertically to allow for smooth airflow. In some high-end models, multiple mesh strips may be used together to enhance vapor production. The key distinction between a mesh coil and a traditional coil is simple: the heating surface is made of mesh rather than a coiled wire.

For you as a vaper, however, this difference can have a significant impact on your experience.

So, exactly how are mesh coils better?

• More vapour and more intense flavour.
• A more consistent vape, due to more even heat distribution.
• Longer lasting coils. As heat accumulating in one area can lead to burning, more even heat distribution reduces the chance of burn out coils.
• Taste: Some vapers have reported better flavour production from mesh coils than from regular coils.
• Power requirements: Mesh needs less power to reach optimum performance.

However, it’s important to note that there are some disadvantages that comes with mesh coil

• Extra vapour- Mesh coils produce a ticker cloud of vapour which could cause you to cough or get an irritated throat.
• Extra juice- Mesh coils will cost you more in extra juice as they use more e-liquid. This also means you’ll have to refill to tank more often.
• Wattage- Although they produce a larger cloud, they don’t heat up as much as other coils even at a higher wattage. This is a drawback if you prefer a warm vape.
  

In conclusion, we recommend our customers to try out mesh coils for those who love a flavour hit, sub-ohm vapers and also for those who prefer cooler vapour with larger clouds.
