Ten separate coil families from four manufacturers are listed here. Match the exact coil platform to the pod or tank: original VOOPOO PnP and PnP X do not interchange, and SMOK RPM, RPM 2 and RPM 3 use different fittings.
What you are matching is the platform, not the brand on the box. That distinction is the whole of this category, and getting it right is the difference between a coil that works and a coil that goes in the bin.
The ten coil families and their compatible devices
VOOPOO run three separate coil platforms, and they are the easiest to confuse. Original PnP fits the VOOPOO Drag H40 alone among current devices. PnP X covers a wider spread: the VOOPOO Drag S2 and S3, the Drag X3, the Argus Pro 2, and the Drag 5 by way of its UForce-X tank. TPP is a tank platform of its own and shares nothing with either.
UWELL split at the same point. The Caliburn G2 coil is a separate part that presses into an empty pod, the older generation. On the G3, G4 and G5 families, the coil is sealed inside the cartridge, and there is no separate coil to buy at all.
VAPORESSO GTi serves tanks, the VAPORESSO Armour Max Kit among them; GTX serves pod mods; GTL belongs to Eleaf. VAPORESSO state plainly that GTi and GTX do not interchange.
SMOK run the widest spread: Nord, RPM, RPM 2 and RPM 3 are four different coils, none of which seats in another family’s pod, plus the TFV18 Mini for the tank of that name. RPM 3 is what the SMOK Nord 5 Kit pod takes.
Resistance, wattage and what actually decides coil life
Choose a coil or pod using its supported device, recommended power range, liquid guidance and airflow design. Resistance is one specification to compare; it does not by itself determine draw style or liquid compatibility. Suitable 50/50 liquids are used with our supported 0.6Ω-and-above pod and MTL setups.
Use each coil within its marked power band and follow its first-fill instructions. Keep compatible spares and replace the coil when its condition calls for it.
Match the exact replacement coil to your cartridge or tank, then follow the coil’s marked power range and the device instructions.
What is not a coil
The Caliburn G4, G4 Pro, G5 Koko and G5 Lite SE use GPP cartridges with integrated coils. Novo 5 also uses an integrated-coil pod. Choose the complete compatible pod under Replacement Pods when the coil needs replacing. See UWELL Caliburn G4 Pod Kit, Replacement Pods.
Caliburn G4 uses integrated-coil GPP cartridges. Replace the whole compatible pod rather than looking for a separate G4 coil head.
Product and variant overview
Ten coil families are listed: VOOPOO PnP (original), PnP X and TPP; UWELL Caliburn G2; VAPORESSO GTi; and SMOK Nord, RPM, RPM 2, RPM 3 and TFV18 Mini. Compare each family’s coil variants and marked operating bands; different builds can share the same resistance.
Compatibility and related products
- Every coil family page lists the devices it fits and, where the confusion is live, the devices it does not.
- If your device takes a sealed cartridge rather than a coil, go to Replacement Pods.
- For the liquid to run through it: higher-resistance coils are generally paired with a 50/50 nicotine salt, and sub-ohm mesh coils with a 70/30 freebase. Follow the range printed on the part.
Buying guidance
- Identify the platform before the resistance. The marking on the old coil tells you immediately; the device model often does not, because several devices changed platform between generations.
- Buy the resistance you are replacing unless you are deliberately changing the draw. The exact coil design, supported power, and airflow determine the draw, which changes how the same bottle tastes and how much of it you get through.
- Check coil condition and liquid supply if taste changes; keep an optional compatible spare rather than assuming a flavour category determines replacement frequency.
- If you are unsure, send a photo of the part rather than the device. The part carries the marking that settles it.
Kenya and Nairobi relevance
Coil orders placed in Nairobi go out same-day, and everywhere else in Kenya arrive in 1 to 2 business days. Coils are the one thing worth ordering before you need them, because a device without a working coil is not a device.
If the fresh coil still tastes off, the burnt taste troubleshooting guide walks through every common cause.
If the flavour has gone flat or the vapour is thin, the weak flavour troubleshooting guide walks through every fix.
The replacement schedule guide explains how long each coil type lasts and the signs that tell you it is time to swap.
