The Geekvape Z Tank is a popular sub-ohm tank known for its excellent flavor and vapor production. However, like all tanks, it requires regular coil changes to maintain optimal performance. This guide will walk you through the process of changing the coil in your Geekvape Z Tank step-by-step, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.
Understanding Your Geekvape Z Tank Coils
Before diving into the coil change, it's crucial to understand the different types of coils available for the Geekvape Z Tank and what they offer. Geekvape offers a range of coils, each with varying resistance and designed for different vaping styles. Knowing the specifications of your chosen coil is key to optimizing your vaping experience. Check the packaging for the correct resistance and wattage range. Using a coil outside its recommended range can lead to poor performance or even damage to your device.
Step-by-Step Guide to Changing Your Geekvape Z Tank Coil
What you'll need:
- New Geekvape Z Tank Coil: Make sure you have the correct replacement coil for your tank.
- Screwdriver (if necessary): Some users have reported needing a small flathead to help loosen the coil head. However, this is not always necessary.
- E-liquid: You'll want to prime your new coil before using it.
Steps:
-
Detach the Tank: Unscrew the tank from your mod.
-
Remove Excess E-liquid: If there is any e-liquid remaining in the tank, carefully tilt it to empty the excess. This prevents spills during the coil change process.
-
Unscrew the Base: Unscrew the base section of the Z Tank, exposing the coil. This usually involves a quarter turn or so.
-
Remove the Old Coil: Gently grasp the old coil head and unscrew it from the base. Be cautious: the coil may be hot if you’ve just been vaping. Allow it to cool down if needed.
-
Install the New Coil: Screw the new coil into the base. Make sure it is securely tightened; don't overtighten it.
-
Prime the New Coil: This is a crucial step to prevent dry hits and extend the lifespan of your new coil. Drip 3-5 drops of e-liquid directly onto the cotton wicking material within the new coil. Allow the e-liquid to fully saturate the cotton. You can also fill your tank with e-liquid and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the coil to soak up the juice.
-
Reassemble the Tank: Screw the base back onto the tank section and reattach the tank to your mod.
-
Fill the Tank: Fill the tank with your preferred e-liquid, ensuring to not overfill.
-
Wait and Vape: Allow the coil to fully saturate for several minutes before taking your first puff. This will ensure that the wicking material is properly soaked and prevents a dry hit.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
-
Dry Hits: If you experience dry hits (a harsh, burnt taste), it's likely that the coil isn't properly saturated. Re-prime the coil or let it sit with e-liquid for a longer time. You may also need to check that the airflow is not too restricted.
-
Leaking: Leaking can occur due to over-tightening the coil or base, or if the coil isn't properly seated. Ensure that everything is tightly fastened, but avoid over-tightening.
Maintaining Your Geekvape Z Tank
Regular cleaning and proper coil changes will significantly extend the lifespan of your Geekvape Z Tank. Regularly check the coil for signs of damage and replace it as needed. Following the instructions above will ensure a longer-lasting and more enjoyable vaping experience. Always remember to check your coil's recommended wattage range and stay within those parameters.
By following these simple steps, you can easily change the coil in your Geekvape Z Tank and keep enjoying delicious vapor. Happy vaping!
