GTi serves tanks, and GTX serves pod mods, and VAPORESSO states plainly that they do not interchange. If your device is an iTank, an Armour, a GEN or a Target, you are in the right place.

(Not sure it is the right one? Message us on WhatsApp with a photo of the coil you are replacing rather than of the device), and we will tell you which family it belongs to before you order. The resistance is printed on the side of the coil itself. On most platforms, it is the pod that decides which coil fits, not the model name.
A narrow platform that does one job properly
GTi is VAPORESSO’s sub-ohm tank coil, and it is deliberately narrow: four resistances, all mesh, all between 0.15 and 0.5 ohm, all direct lung. There is no mouth-to-lung GTi, and there never has been. VAPORESSO describe the range in a single line as designed for thirty to ninety watts.
That narrowness is the point. A tank coil on a two-hundred-watt mod is doing one thing, and every coil in this family is tuned for it rather than compromising towards a tighter draw.
Choosing between the four
Work backwards from the power your mod will actually be set to. At ninety watts, the 0.15 ohm is the only sensible choice; at thirty-five, the 0.5 ohm. Fitting a 0.15 ohm coil and running it at forty watts wastes it; the mesh never reaches temperature, and the flavour stays flat.
The 0.4 ohm is the one most people settle on. Fifty to sixty watts is a comfortable place for a five-millilitre tank; the coil is worked less hard than the two below it, and the draw is still wide enough to feel like a proper lung hit.
Which tank the coil actually lives in
On this catalogue, the relevant device is the Armour Max, which arrives with an iTank. Everything else in the fitment list is a VAPORESSO tank or a kit built around one, and the coil is identical across all of them.
A note on the Armour Max specifically: it runs on two 21700 cells rated 25A or better, which the Vapcell P42A 21700 4200mAh 30A Battery now meets at 30A. A matched pair of those supports around 173W of the mod’s 220W ceiling. Two bundles exist, one with the eight-millilitre iTank 2 and one with the six-millilitre iTank T. Both take GTi, so the coil choice is unaffected by which bundle you have. Whichever one reached Kenya, the four coils above are the ones that fit it.
GTi and GTX look alike and will not swap
VAPORESSO are unusually blunt about this on their own store, calling the wrong coil the leading cause of poor flavour and device returns, and warning that a GTX coil will not seat properly in a GTi tank and may damage the device.
The distinction is easy once you know it. GTi is for tanks: iTank, Armour, GEN, Target. GTX is pod mods: LUXE, Target PM, SWAG. GTi runs 0.15 to 0.5 ohm and thirty to ninety watts. GTX runs 0.15 to 1.2 ohm and eight to seventy-five, because it has to cover mouth-to-lung as well. A third platform again covers the XROS pod range, where the coil is sealed into a VAPORESSO XROS Replacement Mesh Pods cartridge.
One more correction worth having: an older shopping guide on this site names GTL coils for the Armour Max. GTL is a third VAPORESSO platform again, and no GTL coil belongs anywhere near this device.
Fitting and the first tank
GTi coils press into the tank base rather than screwing in: VAPORESSO call it a press fit, and it is a firm push until it clicks. Wet the wicking ports first, fill the tank, and leave it standing for ten minutes before the first draw.
Then start low. A 0.15 ohm coil taken straight to ninety watts on its first puff is likely to scorch the cotton in the middle, where the liquid has not reached yet. Sixty watts for the first few pulls, then work up.
The lifespan VAPORESSO is willing to quote.
VAPORESSO estimate five to six tank refills per coil, or one to two weeks of daily use before flavour noticeably declines. That is phrased as an estimate rather than a specification, and it is worth reading it exactly that way.
A six-millilitre tank refilled five times is around thirty millilitres of liquid, which is a fair benchmark to judge your own results against. Falling well short of it usually means the wattage is set above the coil’s band rather than anything wrong with the coil.
One answer on liquid, and it is not negotiable.e
A 70/30 freebase at three milligrams. Every coil here is sub-ohm and direct lung, and at seventy-five watts the volume of vapour makes anything stronger unpleasant very quickly. Six milligrams is the realistic ceiling, and most people do not want it.
The Ultimate Juice 120ml range comes pre-mixed at that strength, and the Doozy 100ml shortfills reach it with their supplied shots, both built for exactly this kind of tank. A nicotine salt does not belong in a GTi coil at any resistance.
