PRODUCT DETAILS
These are sold as G18 coils on most sites, which undersells them. They are Geekvape's G Series, and they fit considerably more than one device — the Wenax Stylus, Wenax C1, Wenax SC, Aegis Pod, AP2 and the G18 Starter Pen all take the same coil.
Five to a box, mesh throughout, in five resistances. The number you pick decides the draw, the wattage and which liquid suits it, and getting that choice right matters more than the brand does.
Which Geekvape devices these coils fit
The G Series was designed as a shared platform rather than a per-device coil, which is unusual and works in your favour if you own more than one Geekvape pod.
- Geekvape Wenax Stylus
- Geekvape Wenax C1
- Geekvape Wenax SC
- Geekvape Aegis Pod
- Geekvape AP2 (Aegis Pod 2)
- Geekvape G18 Starter Pen Kit
- Digiflavor DU Pod
One caveat worth reading before ordering: some retailers list the 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω Aegis Pod versions as not fitting the G18 Pen specifically. If you run the G18 Pen and want a lower resistance, check the packaging carefully rather than assuming.
Choosing a resistance — Box of 5
Each box contains five coils of one resistance. The wattage ranges below are Geekvape's own, and staying inside them is what keeps a coil alive.
| G0.6Ω | 13–18W · restricted direct-lung · shortfills at low nicotine |
| G0.8Ω | 12–15W · loose mouth to lung · 50/50 or shortfills |
| G1.0Ω | 10–12W · mouth to lung · 50/50 and nic salts |
| G1.2Ω | 9.5–11.5W · tight mouth to lung · nic salts |
| G1.8Ω | 7–9W · tightest draw · nic salts at 20mg |
If you moved across from bars and want the same cigarette-like pull, 1.8Ω or 1.2Ω with a 20mg nic salt is the closest match. The 1.8Ω is the tightest coil Geekvape makes for these devices and the one most switchers settle on.
At the other end, 0.6Ω with a shortfill at 3mg gives more vapour and a looser draw. It also burns through liquid considerably faster, which is worth knowing before you commit to a box of five.
How to know which one you have been using
The resistance is printed on the side of the coil itself, and the device usually reads it when fitted. If you are replacing a coil that worked well, matching the number is more reliable than guessing from memory.
Fitting a G Series coil
- Empty any remaining liquid from the pod before removing the old coil.
- Pull the spent coil straight out — these are press-fit, so there is no thread to unscrew.
- Push the new coil in until it seats fully. A partially seated coil leaks.
- Refill the pod, then leave it standing for five to ten minutes.
- Take three or four gentle draws without firing, then vape at the lower end of the wattage range for the first tank.
Step four is the one that decides how long the coil lasts. Cotton that has not fully absorbed will scorch on the first proper draw, and a coil burnt on day one never recovers — you can taste it for the rest of its life.
Priming with a few drops of liquid directly onto the exposed cotton before fitting speeds this up, though it is not essential if you are willing to wait.
How long a coil should last
Somewhere between one and three weeks, and the liquid decides far more than the vaping does.
Dark, sweet liquids — desserts, custards, anything heavy on sweetener — caramelise on the mesh and shorten coil life considerably. A coil that would run three weeks on a light menthol might last five days on a dessert. If you are getting through coils faster than expected, the liquid is almost always the reason rather than the hardware.
The other common cause is running above the stated wattage. These are low-power MTL coils; pushing a 1.8Ω past 9W will cook it.
What to fill the pod with
- 1.8Ω, 1.2Ω and 1.0Ω want 10ml nic salts or 50/50 blends — thinner liquid, tight draw, higher nicotine.
- 0.8Ω and 0.6Ω handle shortfills at lower nicotine, where more vapour is the point.
A thick 70VG shortfill in a 1.8Ω coil is the most common mistake with this series. The wick cannot draw liquid fast enough and you get dry hits on a coil that is otherwise perfectly good.
Where these sit against the rest of the Geekvape coil range
Geekvape runs several coil families and they are not interchangeable. The G Series is the MTL platform for its pod kits; the others belong to tanks.
- B Series — for the Z Nano MTL tank
- M Series — sub-ohm, for the Z Max tank
- Z Series — for the wider Zeus tank range
Matching the letter to your device is the whole trick. Every Geekvape coil stocked here is the full list if you are unsure which family yours belongs to, and the wider coil range covers the other brands.
Questions about G Series coils
What is in a Box of 5?
Five coils of a single resistance. No pod and no device — these are the consumable part only.
Are these the same as G18 coils?
Yes. Geekvape's G Series is what fits the G18 Starter Pen, and the same coil fits the Wenax and Aegis Pod ranges. The G18 name is how they are commonly listed rather than what they are.
Which resistance should I pick?
1.8Ω or 1.2Ω with a 20mg nic salt for a tight cigarette-like draw. 0.8Ω or 0.6Ω with a shortfill if you want more vapour and a looser pull.
How long does one coil last?
One to three weeks depending mostly on the liquid. Sweet and dark flavours shorten coil life sharply; light fruit and menthol stretch it.
Why did my new coil taste burnt immediately?
Because it was fired before the cotton had absorbed. Fill the pod, wait five to ten minutes, take a few draws without firing, then start low.
Can I run these above the stated wattage?
Not for long. These are low-power MTL coils and pushing them past the range will cook the cotton within a tank or two.
Do G Series coils fit the Z or Zeus tanks?
No. Those take the B, M or Z Series depending on the model. The letter identifies the family, and the families do not cross over.
Is the coil replaceable inside the pod?
Yes, on these devices. The coil presses in and out of the pod, so you replace the coil rather than the whole pod — which is what makes them cheaper to run than a sealed system.
