Versatile Coil Compatibility

The Smok Acro stands out for its versatility and wide-ranging Coil compatibility among the best pod vapes in the market, making it an ideal choice for vapers with varying preferences like me. Here’s why: 

Acro Mesh 0.8Ω Pod

This pod is engineered for direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping, making it perfect for users who enjoy substantial vapor production and a more intense vaping experience.

• The 0.8Ω resistance level allows for relatively low resistance, facilitating quicker heating and bigger clouds.
• It’s designed for sub-ohm vaping, which typically requires more airflow and higher wattage settings. 

As for me, this coil produces thick, billowing clouds of vapor that make every puff a truly immersive experience. Whether I’m chilling at home or out and about, these Coils never disappoint. Plus, they handle a range of VG/PG ratios like a champ, making them versatile for various e-liquids.

Acro DC 0.6Ω Pod

• Similar to the Acro Mesh 0.8Ω pod, this one is also intended for DTL vaping.
• The 0.6Ω resistance provides a moderate balance between vapor production and flavor, appealing to vapers seeking a less intense experience than the 0.8Ω coil. 

The SMOK Acro DC 0.6Ω coils are a fantastic choice when I want a more balanced vaping experience. These coils offer a smooth, moderate draw, which is perfect for those moments when I’m craving subtlety and finesse. 

Recommended E-Liquid Compatibility

• For coils between 0.15 – 0.8Ω, including the Acro Mesh 0.8Ω pod, it is advised to use e-liquids with a VG/PG ratio of 70VG/30PG. This ratio is suitable for DTL vaping, offering a balance between vapor production and flavor.
• For coils above 0.8Ω, such as the Acro DC 0.6Ω pod, it is recommended to select e-liquids with a balanced VG/PG ratio of 50VG/50PG. This ratio is ideal for those who prefer a more moderate vaping experience.

I’ve found that the SMOK Acro Kit’s coil compatibility is a game-changer. What I love most about these coils is their versatility. They handle both freebase and nicotine salts e-liquids exceptionally well. 

I find myself switching between different flavors and nicotine strengths, and these coils adapt seamlessly. Plus, the build quality is solid, ensuring they last longer and provide consistent performance.

Coil Replacement

Replacing the coils in your SMOK Acro 25W device is a simple process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the coil replacement process:

• Step 1: Ensure that your device’s tank is empty to avoid any e-liquid spillage during the coil replacement process. You can do this by vaping any remaining e-liquid until the tank is empty or carefully pouring the remaining e-liquid back into its bottle.
• Step 2: To access the old coil, disassemble the tank by unscrewing the base (the section that connects to the mod) from the tank itself. This will expose the old coil.
• Step 3: Unscrew the old coil from the tank’s base in a counterclockwise direction. Be gentle but firm, as sometimes coils can be screwed on tightly. Once removed, dispose of the old coil properly.
• Step 4: Before installing the new coil, it’s crucial to prime it. To do this, place a few drops of e-liquid onto the exposed cotton wicking material on the sides of the coil. This prevents the coil from burning when you first use it.
• Step 5: Screw the primed new coil onto the tank’s base in a clockwise direction. Ensure it’s snug but not overly tight to avoid damaging the coil or the tank. 
• Step 6: After successfully installing the new coil, reassemble the tank by attaching the base back to the tank section. Make sure it’s securely fastened.
• Step 7: Fill the tank with your preferred e-liquid, following the recommended VG/PG ratio for the type of coil you’ve installed. 
• Step 8: If you prefer, you can wait a few minutes for the e-liquid to saturate the coil before vaping. This further ensures that the coil is adequately primed and ready for use. 
• Step 9: With your new coil in place and the tank filled, you’re ready to resume vaping. Start at a lower wattage and gradually increase it to your preferred level to avoid dry hits.

Coil Priming

Priming new coils is a crucial step in maintaining the longevity and performance of your vaping device, such as the SMOK Acro 25W. Here’s why: 

1. Preventing dry hits: When you install a new coil without priming it, the wicking material inside the coil is dry. When you apply power, the coil heats up rapidly, potentially causing the cotton to burn. Priming ensures the wick is soaked with e-liquid, reducing the risk of dry hits and the burnt taste that accompanies them.

2. Enhancing flavor: Properly primed coils deliver better flavor because the e-liquid can flow into the coil’s heating element smoothly. This results in a more enjoyable and consistent vaping experience.

3. Extending coil life: By avoiding dry hits and overheating, priming helps prolong the life of your coils. A burnt coil often needs replacement sooner, so priming is a cost-effective way to maximize coil longevity.

Choosing the Right Coil for the SMOK ACRO 25W

When you’re picking out the perfect coil for your SMOK ACRO 25W, it’s like customizing your vaping to match your tastes and what your device can do. Here’s how to select one considering its resistance: 

• Low resistance (Sub-Ohm Coils): If you prefer direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping with larger vapor clouds, choose the 0.8ohm ACRO Mesh Coil. It operates within the range of 5 to 25W, making it suitable for the ACRO’s power capabilities.
• High resistance coils: For mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping, SMOK offers other coil options suitable for coils with resistance above 1.0Ω, but specific coil resistances for MTL vaping are not mentioned in the provided information.

Always keep in mind that even though I’ve talked about what to consider when picking coils for your SMOK ACRO, the specific coil types, materials, and resistances included in the kit can vary. So, always give those specs a once-over to get the most out of your setup!

Tips for Maintaining Coils

1. Use the right e-liquid: Use the recommended VG/PG ratio for your coil type, it helps maintain coil longevity and performance. 
2. Prime new coils: Always prime new coils with a few drops of e-liquid before use to prevent dry hits and extend their lifespan. 
3. Avoid chain vaping: Taking short breaks between puffs allows the coil to wick efficiently and prevents it from overheating. 
4. Clean your tank: Regularly clean your tank to remove any e-liquid residue or gunk buildup, which can affect the flavor and lifespan of your coils.
5. Replace coils when necessary: Don’t wait too long to replace coils. If you notice a burnt taste or a significant decrease in flavor and vapor production, it’s time for a new coil.

Troubleshooting Common Coil Issues

Cause: One of the most common causes of a burnt taste is a dry wick. When the cotton in the coil isn’t adequately saturated with e-liquid, it burns when heated. 

How to troubleshoot

• If you suspect the coil is dry, prime it by adding a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the cotton wicking material. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before vaping.
• Reduce the wattage or temperature settings on your device to prevent overheating the coil. Refer to the recommended wattage range for your specific coil.
• If you continue to experience a burnt taste despite priming and adjusting settings, it’s likely time to replace the coil with a new one.

Causes: Gurgling or flooding, this happens when adding too much e-liquid to the coil during priming can flood it. Also, incorrectly assembled or loose components can lead to e-liquid leaking into the coil.

How to troubleshoot

• If you suspect over-priming, remove excess e-liquid from the coil by blowing gently through the drip tip onto a paper towel.
• Ensure that all components of your device are properly assembled and tightened to prevent leaks.
• Reducing the airflow can help mitigate gurgling issues by decreasing the amount of e-liquid that enters the coil.

Causes: Weak flavor, coils have a lifespan, and as they age, they produce less vapor and flavor. A low battery can result in insufficient power to the coil, affecting performance.

How to troubleshoot

• If you notice a significant drop in flavor and vapor production, install a new coil that’s within its recommended lifespan.
• Ensure your device has sufficient battery power. Charge the battery or replace it if necessary.

Cause: Leakage or loose sealed tank components, it can lead to e-liquid leakage and can make a mess. 

How to troubleshoot

• Ensure that all O-rings and seals on your tank and coil are properly seated and in good condition.
• Do not overfill your tank. Leave a small air gap to accommodate e-liquid expansion.

These troubleshooting steps are your trusty tools to tackle those everyday coil hiccups and keep your vaping sessions smooth and enjoyable. But hey, if you’re still facing issues even after giving these a shot, don’t hesitate to dive into your device’s manual for more guidance or swing. 

I can say that the SMOK Acro 25W device has become my trusted companion, and choosing the right coils has made all the difference. Whether I’m in the mood for intense flavor, balanced draws, or a classic MTL experience, these coils have got me covered. 

What’s really cool is how versatile it is. They’re particularly handy when I need a discreet and low-profile setup. It’s like having the best of both worlds – the convenience of a pod system with the satisfaction of MTL vaping.
