Signs Your Vape Coil or Pod Needs Replacing

• Burnt Taste: The most obvious sign is a harsh, burnt flavor when you inhale.

• Gurgling Noises: Unusual sounds during use can indicate a flooded or failing coil.
• Leaking: E-liquid leaks may be a sign of a worn coil or pod.

Consequences of Waiting Too Long

• Persistently burnt taste and poor flavor.

• Potential health risks from inhaling burnt material.

How to Replace Your Vape Coil or Pod

1. Remove the tank or pod from the device.
2. Dispose of the old coil or pod safely.
3. Prime your new coil with a few drops of e-liquid before installing.
4. Insert the new coil or pod, making sure it fits snugly.
