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.
