They usually last around one to two weeks, though this depends on how you vape and what e-liquid you use. Things like how often you vape, the wattage you set, and how thick your e-juice is can all have an effect on the lifespan of coils.

The most common reason why coils burn so fast is when they are not saturated enough. It is important to let the pod rest for at least 5 minutes after it is filled with e-liquid. This gives time to the cotton in the coil to get well-saturated, which then maximises flavour and minimises the chances of burning.

Yes, you can clean these coils to get a bit more use out of them, but don’t expect them to work like new. Rinsing off built-up residue or fixing minor overfiring can help extend their life, though it won’t undo damage from a burnt wick or fully bring back lost performance.

To change your Smok vape coil, turn off your device and disassemble the tank. Remove the old coil, prime the new one with e-liquid, and screw it in gently. Reassemble the tank, fill it, let it sit for a few minutes, then power on and vape at a low wattage.
