Understanding Alien Coils
Alien coils are a popular choice among vaping enthusiasts due to their unique design and enhanced performance. These coils are crafted using a complex method that intertwines multiple wires, creating a visually striking appearance and superior heating characteristics. The combination of different wire materials, such as Kanthal, stainless steel, and nickel, allows users to customize their vaping experience based on preferred resistance and flavor profiles.
The primary advantage of alien coils lies in their ability to provide a larger surface area for vaporization. This increased surface area contributes to more efficient e-liquid absorption, resulting in denser clouds and richer flavors. Additionally, the intricate construction of alien coils often leads to a smoother throat hit, making them an attractive option for both novice and experienced vapers.
Customizing Your Alien Coils
Customization is key when it comes to alien coils, as it allows vapers to tailor their setup to meet specific preferences. One of the most significant factors in coil customization is the choice of wire types and gauges. Different wire combinations can alter the resistance, ramp-up time, and overall flavor output, enabling users to fine-tune their vaping experience.

Another important aspect of coil customization is the number of wraps and the diameter of the coils. Vapers can experiment with different wrap counts and diameters to achieve desired resistance levels and airflow characteristics. A smaller diameter may enhance flavor by concentrating airflow, while a larger diameter can improve cloud production by allowing more air to pass through the coil.
Maintenance and Safety Tips
Maintaining alien coils is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and longevity. Regular cleaning and re-wicking are essential steps that help preserve flavor quality and prevent burnt hits. Vapers should clean their coils by soaking them in a suitable solution and gently scrubbing away residue before rinsing and drying thoroughly.
Safety is also paramount when using customized coils. Users must be aware of their device’s specifications and ensure that the resistance of their alien coils is compatible with their vaping equipment. Proper battery management is critical, as sub-ohm coils can draw significant power, necessitating the use of high-quality batteries that can handle the load safely.
