First, why do you need to prime a coil?

A new coil is dry inside. Priming it properly soaks the cotton or wick with your e-liquid, preventing a burnt taste from the very first use and preserving the coil. Correctly priming a coil guarantees a flavoursome vape, protects your equipment and provides a quality experience.

🔬 Steps for priming a coil

1/ Prepare the coil:

  • Unpack your new coil and inspect it to ensure it is in good condition. Soak the cotton.
  • Place a few drops of your e-liquid directly into the small visible holes in the coil (where the cotton is exposed). Also place one or two drops on the central wick, if visible.

2/ Fit the coil:

Insert the coil into your clearomiser or pod, following the manufacturer's instructions. Fill the tank with your favourite e-liquid. Wait a few minutes. Leave your e-cigarette to stand for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the cotton to become fully saturated.

3/ Take a few draws without firing

Before switching on the device, take a few draws without pressing the fire button. This helps the e-liquid circulate inside the coil.

4/ Adjust the power:

If your e-cigarette is adjustable, start at a low power setting (below the recommended range for the coil). Increase it gradually until you reach your ideal power setting.

💡 Additional tips

  • Do not rush priming: Using an unprimed coil can cause an irreversible burnt taste. Take the time needed.
  • Choose the right e-liquid: E-liquids with a high vegetable glycerine (VG) content may be more viscous and require a longer priming time.
  • Avoid overheating: Your first puffs should be gentle to give the coil time to adapt.
