How to Tell When Your Aspire PockeX Coil Needs Replacing

The Aspire PockeX is a super popular vape kit that's a common choice for both beginners and experienced vapers, with top features like a powerful 1500mAh battery, a top-fill system, and its adjustable airflow settings. For those who own a PockeX, it's important to know when to replace the coils, as using a PockeX with a worn-out coil can lead to unpleasant flavours and potentially even damage your device.

However, it can be hard to know when it's time to replace your coils and how to do it properly. At I Love Vapour, we bring our customers a range of Aspire PockeX kits and accessories, including replacement Aspire PockeX coils. In this post, we’re here to tell you more about how to tell when your coils need replacing for your PockeX, along with tips for replacing them, and how to choose between 0.6-ohm and 1.2-ohm coils.

3 Signs That Your Aspire PockeX Coils Need Replacing

Replacing the coils of your Aspire PockeX is essential to keep your device running smoothly and delivering intense flavours and big clouds, but it can be challenging to know when your coils need to be replaced. By keeping an eye out for these 3 common signs of a worn-out coil, you'll know exactly when it's time for a coil change:

Burnt Taste: One of the most obvious signs that your Aspire PockeX coil needs replacing is a burnt or unpleasant taste. This occurs when the coil is no longer efficiently vaporising the e-liquid, often due to the wick being dried out or damaged.

Reduced Vapour Production: If you notice a significant decrease in vapour production despite charging your device and adjusting the settings, it could be a sign that the coil is worn out. As the coil deteriorates, it struggles to heat the e-liquid effectively, leading to less vapour.

Flavour Loss: Another indicator that your coil needs replacing is a noticeable reduction in flavour quality. When the coil starts to degrade, the flavour will become muted or taste "off," as the wick and coil lose their ability to deliver the full taste experience.

How Often Should I Change my Aspire PockeX Coil?

How often you need to change your Aspire PockeX coil depends on a wide range of factors, including how much you use your vape, the type of e-liquid you use, and your vaping style. If you’re a heavy vaper, especially one who enjoys chain-vaping, you will need to replace your coil more often as it’s constantly working to vaporise your e-liquid and this causes it to degrade and dry out faster.

If you use a lot of sweet or high VG e-liquids, this can also cause your coil to wear out faster due to the sticky residue they leave on your coil and their thicker consistencies. Also if you vape on a more powerful setting, the coil heats up more intensely, which can also cause it to wear out faster.

Tips for Replacing your Aspire PockeX Coil

When replacing your Aspire PockeX coil, you want to make sure to do it correctly so that it can continue to provide you with a satisfying and powerful vaping experience. Here are 3 of our top tips for replacing your coil;

Prime the Coil Properly

Before installing a new coil, it’s important to prime it by applying a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the cotton wick. This ensures the wick is fully saturated, preventing a dry hit when you start vaping. Proper priming helps your vapes coil to work efficiently and prolongs its life.

Ensure the Coil Fits Properly

When replacing the coil, make sure it fits securely into the tank. Align the coil with the threads and twist it gently to screw it in. If the coil is misaligned or not installed correctly, it can lead to leaks, poor performance, and potential damage to your device.

Start at Low Wattage and Gradually Increase

Once the new coil is installed and primed, start vaping at a lower wattage to allow the coil to adjust. Gradually increase the wattage to avoid overheating the new coil, which can cause it to burn out quickly. This step ensures optimal flavour and longevity from your coil.

Choosing Between 0.6 and 1.2 Ohm Aspire PockeX Coils 

The Aspire PockeX is designed for MTL (mouth-to-lung) vaping, but offers users flexibility with two coil options - 0.6-ohm and 1.2-ohm - to suit different vaping styles. The 0.6-ohm coil is the one that comes pre-installed in your PockeX, providing warmer vapour and bigger clouds. It offers more airflow and allows you to inhale directly into your lungs, resulting in more vapour production and a more intense flavour.

The 1.2-ohm coil is designed to offer cooler vapour and smaller clouds, with smoother flavours. This coil provides a tighter draw, offering a more controlled vaping experience with satisfying throat hits. We stock both the 0.6-ohm and 1.2-ohm Aspire PockeX coil options, so you can choose the ideal one to match your vaping preference.
