  1. The 3-5 Minute Rule:<\/strong> Wait 3-5 minutes after priming your vape coil in a new pod or tank before vaping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Power Match:<\/strong> Ensure your device wattage matches the ohm resistance printed on your pod or vape coil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The One-Third Rule:<\/strong> Never let your e-liquid level drop below the visible wicking holes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    It is a common point of friction: you set up a new Vape Kit<\/a>, enjoy the flavour for a day, and by the 48-hour mark, you\u2019re met with a harsh, burnt sensation. At Totally Wicked, our research into user reviews highlights that while Vape Kits are getting more advanced, the way we maintain our Vape Coils<\/a> is often the difference between a pod lasting two days or two weeks[i]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whether you are using a Refillable Vape Pod or a Sub-ohm tank<\/a>, understanding the mechanics of your heating element is the first step to saving money and improving your experience. This guide breaks down exactly how to treat your vape coils or pods, to ensure every drop of e-liquid tastes as fresh as the first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/a>Fixed-Coil Pod Systems<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The fixed-coil Refillable Pod Vape<\/a> category, featuring kits like the Lumina<\/a> and Mavro<\/a>, offers a mixture of convenience and customisation. The vape coil is built into the pod, but the device itself allows you to adjust the wattage settings. This is where a burnout could occur, when the power output doesn’t match the coil’s resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/a>Understanding Your Ohms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    When using adjustable pod kits, you must pay attention to the resistance (measured in ohms) printed on the pod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
