iKonic Flux Postless Heating Coils Explained
In this iKrusher Education Blog, we will look at one of iKrusher's most loved vaping technologies: iKonic Flux ceramic heating coils. Many of our top vapes and 510 carts feature these postless, wickless, cotton-free heating coils. iKonic Flux coils are a technological marvel that produce excellent vapor, handle almost any concentrate on the market, and are clog resistant.
A Brief History of Vape Coils
The first true vape was an e-cigarette patented by a Chinese pharmacist and inventor in 2003. Many earlier vapes heated their oil with a simple wire coil made of iron-chromium-aluminum (FeCrAl) or similar metal. However, these early devices often became clogged and would burn the oil. However, as technology advanced, manufacturers used newer, more advanced materials for heating coils, including titanium, nickel, and stainless steel. These metals provided better durability and temperature control, allowing for fewer dry hits and better flavor. Early vapes also had cotton wicks below their center posts that would absorb the oil. But these early wicks often dried out, causing a burnt taste and a less pleasant experience. In time, developers created postless vapes that provided a much better experience and eliminated the need for a cotton wick. A revolution in vaping technology had begun: a postless revolution.
How Do Vape Heating Coils Work?
Inside all vapes are small coils that convert electrical power from the battery into heat energy through electrical resistance. When the coils get hot enough, they turn the oil in the vape into inhalable vapor. These heating coils are the hardest working part of any vape. Through their hard work, we enjoy the flavor-rich vapor they produce.
What are center posts?
In traditional vapes, a center post draws oil over the heating coil through small aperture holes. Manufacturers usually make the center post from stainless steel, and they vary the size and number of the aperture holes.
What Are Postless Vapes?
A postless disposable vape has no center post at all. In a postless vape, the oil sits directly on the coil. So, when you activate your postless vape, the coils heat up, and the oil is vaporized directly over the coil. This way, there is a much-reduced chance of the vape clogging, more even heating of the oil, and better flavor production.
What's the Deal with Ceramic Coils?
Ceramic heating coils are a top choice for disposable vapes, offering superior performance and a cleaner, safer operation. They deliver consistent and even heating, enhancing the flavor of your oil for a smoother vaping experience. The porous nature of ceramic material ensures better oil distribution and absorption, which minimizes the risk of burnt tastes or dry hits. Manufacturers build ceramic coils to last, providing greater durability and more hits than most alternatives. Plus, they operate at lower temperatures, making them a safer option for cannabis concentrates. iKrusher's iKonic Flux heating coils truly elevate the vaping experience, making it more reliable and enjoyable.
Postless Benefits
Postless all-in-one vapes and 510 cartridges were game changers when they came on the scene. Here are just some of the many benefits of using a cannabis vape with no center post.
Extended Coil Life - With greater airflow and more space for the oil to move unimpeded, plus the lack of tiny channels or aperture holes to travel through, the oil will clog less, and postless vapes tend to last longer.
Purer Flavor - With no metal center post or cotton wick, the flavor produced by a postless vape is much purer compared to a typical vape with a center post. You get more of the flavor of the oil, the terpenes of the cannabis oil.
Less Dry or Burnt Hits - Because postless cannabis vapes have no center post or cotton wick, they encounter far fewer dry or burnt hits, improving both the longevity and overall flavor of the vape.
Less Clogging - With fewer tiny channels for the oil to travel through and possibly get clogged in, postless vapes clog less often.
More Even Heating - The postless heating coil's larger, flatter heating surface means the oil is heated more evenly.
What Makes iKonic Flux Coils the Best?
iKonic Flux postless ceramic vape coils stand out for their durability and advanced technology. Their increased heating surface creates a more even vapor production, ensuring a more efficient vaping experience with consistent flavor and vapor. The coils heat quickly, maintaining precise temperature control and preserving your cannabis oil's distinct aroma and flavor. iKonic Flux coils minimize the risk of over-burning and brittleness and enhance safety with no metal coming in contact with the oil, making iKonic Flux a reliable, safe choice for your vaping hardware.
What Vapes Have iKonic Flux?
Many of iKrusher's newest and greatest vapes have an iKonic Flux heating coil installed inside. They include our latest in the Nord series, the Nord Pro, our exciting pod-style Nurf Pro, and the Vatra Pro, our all-in-one vape with a digital screen and light-up tank. There's a reason we call all our iKonic Flux vapes and carts PRO. Use one of our postless pro vapes for your oil to find out why—and your customers will thank you.
In Closing
The reaction was incredible when iKrusher first introduced our iKonic Flux ceramic heating coils. Since then, we have sold millions of units, making iKonic Flux ceramic heating coils our most popular postless atomizer coils. These coils are found in many of iKrusher's all-in-one vapes, pod systems, and 510 vape cartridges, providing such incredible cloud and flavor that people often ask for them by name.
Happy vaping!
