What is Vape Coil

Vape Coils Definition

Technically the coil is the metal part within any atomizer attachment. The term is used loosely and is often used to describe the entire component that holds and heats the wax. But the entire component itself is the atomizer and the coil is really the metal part that spirals around either a piece of wick, ceramic or quartz. The coil is connected to the battery and receives the energy given off. When the coil receives the energy it becomes red hot and will heat anything it touches. Simply, the coil is the metal rod that heats up but you should understand what people mean when they say wax coil, or herb chamber or some other variation and meaning of the word coil.
