Question about mesh coil

[Vaperer]

I just got some new coils. The salesman said they're mesh coils. They're made by GT. I don't see no difference between the other coils. Can somebody tell me exactly how does a mesh coil work differently than a normal coil.? Thank you

A mesh coil uses a cylinder of wire mesh rather than a coil as a heating element. They tend to heat quickly and provide a lot of surface area for boiling juice. As a result they tend to use a lot of power and juice, but in turn provide more vapor.

And sometimes more flavor.

Thanks a lot I didn't know that. Do they last longer than normal coils?

I don’t see why they would. That sort of thing varies greatly by juice type and vaping style so it’s very hard to measure.

Not necessarily, i vape mine at 38 watts (default wotofo profile mesh). I did notice more flavor but it's not something id call revolutionary + wicking it is a bit of a pain. Juice wise i can't really tell any major difference tbh but it does require more squonking to saturate well.

Been using it for a month and it's still going strong with no signs of aging.

I believe you are talking about a mesh RTA. The OP was talking about a specific model of coil cartridges.

They don't necessarily require more power than regular coils.It depends at mass of heating element.
Different coil cartridge,different suggested wattage from manufacturer.

Profile is an rda but still get the point.

Profile is an rda but still get the point.

Not sure where you are finding “profile”. The only descriptive term I can see the OP having used was GT. I assumed this was referring to the vapresso GT mesh coil.

What profile? GT coils are drop-in coils.

Good point. The whole thing really isn’t that important and certainly isn’t worth getting bothered about. The concept that there are RDA mesh devices too and that they behave somewhat differently is valid.

 

[Katya]

Right. And mesh drop-in coils are just like any other coils--some are good, some are bad. For instance, I've heard a lot of complaints about Zenith's mesh coils. YMMV

Yes that's the type of coil I was asking about

@Vaperer My Vaporesso mesh coils are fantastic....never had a bad one and they last for ages. I end up changing them just because I think I ought to not because I think they need it

Flavour is better than any other coil in my opinion but nothing beats a decent RDA.

Good luck to you.
