How Long Do Vape Coils Last? Signs It's Time to Replace
Key Takeaways
Most tank and pod coils last about 5 days to 2 weeks with daily use, and mouth-to-lung (MTL) coils usually outlast sub-ohm coils.
Tracking coil life by milliliters of e-liquid is a better way than days on the calendar.
A burnt taste that lingers after a few puffs means the coil is done and needs replacing.

Key Takeaways
As of October 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists 48 authorized vape products from five companies: Glas, JUUL Labs, Logic, NJOY, and Vuse.

The usual suspects are a loose or faulty coil, coil legs touching metal in a rebuildable, a crushed insulator, or e-liquid pooled in the 510 connection.
