E-cigarettes
Guide & History
Welcome to our Guide page.
Here you’ll find some facts and general history about e-cigarettes.
Invented in 2003
The e-cigarette was invented by Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik in 2003 as an alternative to traditional cigarettes. His invention quickly became popular in China and then spread worldwide.
Less Smell
E-cigarettes produce a much weaker and less persistent odor. This is because the vapor evaporates quickly into the air, allowing the user to vape discreetly.
Battery & Tech Improvements
Most modern e-cigarettes are powered by lithium batteries, which have significantly improved over the years. Batteries now last longer, and devices have become more efficient and user-friendly, providing a better vaping experience.
Guide: How to Clean and Replace Coils in Your E-Cigarette
E-cigarettes require regular maintenance for the best flavor and longevity. One of the most important components to monitor is the coil – the small heating element that vaporizes the liquid.
When Should You Replace the Coil?
How to Replace the Coil
1. Unscrew the tank from the battery
Start by disassembling your e-cigarette. Unscrew the tank and turn it upside down.
2. Open the tank and remove the old coil
Unscrew the bottom of the tank and pull or screw out the old coil, depending on your model.
3. Check and clean the tank
Rinse the tank with warm water. Wipe with paper or let it air dry.
4. Prepare the new coil
Drip a little e-liquid directly onto the coil (the small cotton openings) – this is called priming and prevents dry hits.
5. Insert the new coil
Screw or push the coil in place according to your model’s design.
6. Reassemble the tank and fill with e-liquid
Fill the tank and wait 5–10 minutes before vaping, allowing the coil to saturate fully.
Cleaning a Coil (Optional, Depends on Type)
This works best with removable coils that don’t have burnt cotton.
1. Remove the coil and rinse with warm water
Hold the coil under warm water to remove leftover e-liquid.
2. Optional: Use vodka or isopropyl alcohol for deeper cleaning
Place the coil in a bowl with vodka for about 1 hour and rinse thoroughly afterward.
3. Air dry completely (12–24 hours)
Never use a wet coil – make sure it is fully dry before reusing.
