Direct to Lung Vape Coils

An atomiser head is the unit at the centre of a vape tank or vape pod. It is usually referred to as the coil, but it would be more accurate to say that it contains the coil. A coil is a piece of coiled metal or a sheet of perforated metal (mesh) that heats to vaporise e-liquid. An atomiser head will also feature wicking material to soak up the e-liquid.

Electrical resistance is measured in ohms and dictates the extent to which a component of a circuit such as a vape coil restricts the flow of electrical current. The higher the number of ohms, the more the component restricts the current. A 1.0 ohm coil therefore restricts electrical current more than a 0.5-ohm coil. If the voltage of the battery remains the same, reducing the coil resistance means that the circuit will operate at a higher wattage. In other words, a low resistance coil can get hotter and produce more vapour than a high resistance coil but will draw more amperage from the battery that powers it.

What is direct to lung vaping?

Direct to lung vaping is the practice of drawing vapour directly into your lungs rather than holding it in your mouth for a short time before drawing it into your lungs. DTL vaping delivers little or no throat hit but far bigger clouds of vapour. The greater amount of vapour means that you absorb more nicotine with every puff and so you will require a lower nicotine strength. DTL
vaping will see you plough through more e liquid and the required kit is more costly than MTL vapes. There are cost implications when you switch to DTL vaping but there are many benefits too.

To produce the significant vapour you need for direct to lung vaping, you will require low resistance (sub-ohm) coils and a suitable DTL device.
