GeekVape coil compatibility comes down to one rule: each GeekVape tank or pod takes one coil series, such as Z, M or B. So once you know your tank, you know your coils. This guide shows which GeekVape coil series fits each tank and kit. It also covers GeekVape coil resistance, wattage and coil life, so you can pick the right pack.
The short version
- Every GeekVape tank or pod takes one coil series. For example, Z coils fit the Zeus Sub Ohm, Z Fli 2 and Z Subohm Tank 5.
- Names can trick you, though. The Zeus Max takes M coils, the Z Nano 3 takes B coils, and the B100 takes P coils.
- Boost Version and XM coils fit the same tanks as the classic coils in their series.
- Z coils are our best-selling GeekVape coils, and the 0.4Ω is the most popular Z coil.
- Pick your GeekVape coil resistance by draw: lower for bigger clouds, or higher for a tighter draw.
- Let a new GeekVape coil soak for about 5 minutes, then start at the low end of its wattage range.
GeekVape coil compatibility chart
Your coil goes in the tank or pod, not in the mod. So to find the right coils, start with the tank or pod on your kit. GeekVape lists each coil series for its own set of tanks and pods, and the chart below follows those lists.
Here’s our GeekVape coil compatibility chart, by tank or kit. The letters across the top are GeekVape’s coil series, and a check means GeekVape lists that series for the tank. We’ve also linked every tank and kit we stock:
| Tank or kit | Z | M | B | P | J | G |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zeus Sub Ohm Tank, now sold as the Z Sub-ohm Tank | ✓ | |||||
| Z Fli 2 and the first Z Fli | ✓ | |||||
| Z Subohm Tank 5 | ✓ | |||||
| Aegis Legend 5, L200 and Aegis Solo 3 kits | ✓ | |||||
| T200 (Aegis Touch) and Aegis Legend 3 kits | ✓ | |||||
| Zeus Max Tank, now sold as the Z Max Tank | ✓ | |||||
| Z Nano 3 Tank, as in the Aegis Mini 5 kit | ✓ | |||||
| Aegis Hero 5, Aegis Hero 2 and Aegis Force | ✓ | |||||
| First Aegis Hero, Aegis Boost and Boost Plus | ✓ | |||||
| First Zeus Nano (Z Nano) tank | ✓ | |||||
| B100 (Aegis Boost Pro 2) and E100i (Aegis Eteno i) | ✓ | |||||
| Digi Max and Digi Pro, with JR pods | ✓ | |||||
| Aegis Pod and Wenax Stylus | ✓ |
Is your kit missing from the chart? Then look up the name of its tank or pod instead, because that decides the GeekVape coil series. For example, the Aegis Legend 5 comes with one of two Z tanks, depending on the kit, but both take Z coils. We don’t stock the unlinked kits right now, such as the T200 and the first Z Fli, but every tank and kit we’ve linked is in stock.
GeekVape coil cross compatibility
Some GeekVape coils swap freely between versions, while others only look like they should fit. Here’s what crosses over between GeekVape coil series and versions, as well as what doesn’t:
| Coil | Fits? | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Z coils, Boost Version and XM | ✓ | GeekVape says any device that takes Z coils can also use the Z XM Boost Version. |
| B coils, Boost Version and classic | ✓ | GeekVape says the two versions are fully interchangeable, so either one works. |
| B coils in the first Aegis Boost | ✓ | GeekVape lists the Aegis Boost and Boost Plus under its B coils, not its G coils. |
| Z coils in the Zeus Max | No | The Zeus Max takes M coils only, so Z coils won’t fit it. |
| Z coils in a Z Nano tank | No | Despite the Z in their names, Z Nano tanks take B coils instead. |
| B coils in the B100 | No | Despite the B in its name, the B100 takes P coils instead. |
| J coils in J pods | No | J pods have their coil built in, so J coils go in the empty JR pod instead. |
| Z0.25Ω Dual in the P Subohm Tank | No | GeekVape lists this older tank for its Z coils, but not the 0.25Ω Dual. |
In other words, a tank’s name doesn’t always predict GeekVape coil compatibility. The Zeus Max, for example, sounds like a Zeus tank, but GeekVape says its M coils fit the Zeus Max alone. So when in doubt, check the coil series in your tank’s manual before you order.
Pick by GeekVape coil resistance and wattage
GeekVape coil resistance, measured in ohms (Ω), shapes the draw. A lower number gives bigger clouds, but it also needs more power. A higher number, on the other hand, gives a tighter draw. Here’s the GeekVape coil wattage range for every coil we stock, from GeekVape’s own ratings:
| Coil | GeekVape rating |
|---|---|
| Z0.15Ω | 80W to 90W |
| Z0.15Ω XM, also in Boost Version | 70W to 85W |
| Z0.2Ω and Z0.2Ω XM Boost Version | 70W to 80W |
| Z0.25Ω Dual | 45W to 57W |
| Z0.4Ω, Z0.4Ω XM and XM Boost Version | 50W to 60W |
| M0.14Ω | 60W to 80W |
| M0.15Ω Quadra | 85W to 100W |
| M0.2Ω Triple | 70W to 85W |
| M0.3Ω Dual | 55W to 65W |
| B0.2Ω | 50W to 58W |
| B0.3Ω | 30W to 38W |
| B0.4Ω | 25W to 35W |
| B0.6Ω | 15W to 25W |
| B1.2Ω, classic | 10W to 14W |
| P0.15Ω XM | 70W to 85W |
| P0.2Ω | 60W to 70W |
| P0.4Ω | 50W to 60W |
GeekVape rates every Z, M and P coil for direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping. Its B coils cover more styles, though. In the Boost Version, the 0.2Ω and 0.3Ω are DTL coils, while the 0.4Ω and 0.6Ω give a restricted DTL (RDL) draw. GeekVape labels the classic B line MTL to RDL as a whole, and its 1.2Ω is the tightest B coil we stock.
Among our customers, 0.4Ω is the most popular GeekVape coil resistance for Z tanks. The 0.2Ω comes next. GeekVape also notes that the 0.2Ω uses more e-liquid than the 0.4Ω, because it runs at more power.
Match the coil to your mod and e-liquid
For the tanks and kits we stock, GeekVape coil compatibility goes by series, not by resistance. So you can try a new resistance in the same tank, as long as your mod reaches its wattage.
Your mod also has to reach each GeekVape coil’s wattage range. For example, the Aegis Hero 5 tops out at 50W, the bottom of the B0.2Ω coil’s range. The Aegis Mini 5, on the other hand, can run the same coil at its full 58W. Our Aegis Hero 5 review and Aegis Mini 5 review cover both kits in more depth. Going above the range won’t help, though, since GeekVape says too much power burns the cotton and shortens coil life.
Your GeekVape coil resistance also guides your e-liquid. For the 0.2Ω and 0.3Ω B coils, GeekVape suggests freebase e-liquid of 3mg or less. It lists nic salt for the 0.4Ω B coil and up. Not sure which kind you use? Our freebase vs salt nicotine guide explains the difference, and our sub-ohm vaping guide covers low-ohm coils.
GeekVape pods with the coil built in
Not every GeekVape kit takes coil heads. Some pods have the coil built in, so you swap the whole pod when the flavor fades. That keeps GeekVape coil compatibility simple, because if the pod fits your kit, so does its coil. Here are the ones we stock, with the kits GeekVape lists for each:
| Pod | Fits | Resistance |
|---|---|---|
| Q pods, 3 per pack | Sonder Q2, Wenax Q Pro and Digi-Q Vista | 0.4Ω to 1.2Ω |
| N pods, 2 per pack | Aegis Nano 3, AN2 and the first Aegis Nano | 0.6Ω or 1.2Ω |
| J pods, 2 per pack | Digi Max and Digi Pro | 0.2Ω to 1.2Ω |
| GO pods, 2 per pack | GeekVape GO | 0.8Ω |
Each pod’s GeekVape coil resistance is fixed, since you can’t change its coil. A few of these are sold out right now, though: the 0.6Ω N pod, the 2ml 1.2Ω Q pod and the 0.2Ω J pod. GeekVape also lists the 0.2Ω J pod for the Digi Max only, and it puts the coil life of a J pod or a GO pod at about 30ml of e-liquid. The Q pods, meanwhile, come in 2ml top-fill and 3ml side-fill versions, and we stock the 0.4Ω in the 3ml size.
Other GeekVape pods come empty, so they need a coil. The JR pod takes J coils, while the B100 pod takes P coils. Likewise, the Aegis Hero 5 cartridge takes B coils, and so does the 4ml first Aegis Hero pod, which comes with two B coils. The Kloud is the odd one out, since GeekVape lists no spare pod for it. Instead, you refill its 10ml pod up to 3 times.
How to prime and replace a GeekVape coil
A new coil needs time to soak before you fire it. GeekVape warns that a coil used before its cotton is full can burn, and that shortens its life a lot. So follow these steps, taken from GeekVape’s own guides:
- Take out the old coil: unscrew or pull it out of the base of your tank or pod.
- Prime the new one: drip 3 to 5 drops of e-liquid into its top. You can also drip a little onto the cotton through its side holes.
- Fit it firmly: push or screw the coil in all the way, so it makes good contact.
- Fill and wait: fill the tank, close it and wait about 5 minutes, so the cotton soaks through.
- Start low: set your mod to the low end of the coil’s wattage range, then work your way up, as GeekVape suggests.
So how long does a coil last? GeekVape says its Z XM and B Boost Version coils last about 50ml to 60ml of e-liquid. That’s about twice the life of GeekVape’s older coils. GeekVape coil life still depends on how you vape, though. Chain vaping, high power and thick, high-VG e-liquid all wear a coil out faster. GeekVape adds that very sweet e-liquid can gunk up a coil, too. So swap in a fresh coil once the taste turns burnt or the flavor fades. Not sure how thick your juice is? Our guide to PG and VG explains it.
The GeekVape coils we stock
We carry six GeekVape coil series, with our best seller first. Each card names the tanks and kits a coil fits, so you can check GeekVape coil compatibility before you buy. Then pick a 5-pack by GeekVape coil resistance.
Z, B and M coils
Z coils are our best-selling GeekVape coils. They fit the Zeus Sub Ohm, Z Fli 2 and Z Subohm Tank 5, plus our Aegis Legend 5, L200 and Aegis Solo 3 kits. GeekVape also says its XM Boost Version coil has about twice the life of its older Z coils.
Best for: DTL vapers with a Zeus, Z Fli or Z Subohm Tank 5.
Good to know: GeekVape’s wattage range for these coils runs from 45W to 90W, so your mod needs to reach at least 45W.
B coils fit the Z Nano 3 Tank, as in our Aegis Mini 5 kit, as well as the Aegis Hero 5 and Aegis Force cartridges. We stock both the classic and the Boost Version, and GeekVape says the two are fully interchangeable.
Best for: Aegis Hero 5, Aegis Force and Aegis Mini 5 owners.
Good to know: The Aegis Hero 5 tops out at 50W, so it only reaches the bottom of the 0.2Ω coil’s range.
M coils fit one tank, the Zeus Max, which GeekVape now calls the Z Max Tank. They’re GeekVape’s high-power coils, and the M0.15Ω Quadra has the top coil wattage, at 85W to 100W.
Best for: Zeus Max owners who vape at high power.
Good to know: They don’t fit the Zeus Sub Ohm, the Z Fli 2 or any other tank that takes Z coils.
G, P and J coils
G coils fit older pod kits, such as the Aegis Pod and Wenax Stylus. GeekVape rates them from 13W to 18W for the 0.6Ω down to 10W to 12W for the 1.0Ω.
Best for: Aegis Pod or Wenax Stylus owners who want an MTL or RDL coil.
Good to know: We don’t stock a kit that takes them right now, so check your kit’s name first.
P coils fit the B100 (Aegis Boost Pro 2) and its spare pods. GeekVape also lists them for the E100 and E100i (Aegis Eteno) kits.
Best for: B100 owners who want a DTL coil from 50W to 85W.
Good to know: B100 pods come without a coil, so add a P coil before you fill one.
J coils go in the empty JR pod, which fits the Digi Max and Digi Pro. That way, you change just the coil instead of the whole pod.
Best for: Digi Max and Digi Pro owners who’d rather swap coils than pods.
Good to know: The 1.2Ω is sold out right now, and J coils don’t fit J pods, because those have their own coil.

GeekVape coil compatibility FAQ
Are Zeus coils and Z coils the same?
Yes. GeekVape’s store calls them its Z (Zeus) series coils. They fit the Zeus Sub Ohm Tank, which GeekVape now sells as the Z Sub-ohm Tank, as well as the Z Fli 2 and Z Subohm Tank 5.
Do Z coils fit the Zeus Max?
No. The Zeus Max takes GeekVape M coils, so Z coils won’t fit it. GeekVape now sells it as the Z Max Tank.
What coils does the Z Nano 3 use?
It uses GeekVape B coils, despite the Z in its name. That includes the Z Nano 3 Tank in our Aegis Mini 5 kit.
Does the B100 use B coils?
No. The B100 (Aegis Boost Pro 2) takes GeekVape P coils, from 0.15Ω to 0.4Ω. Its spare pods come without a coil, so add a P coil before you fill one.
Do Boost Version coils fit older tanks?
Yes. GeekVape says any device that takes Z coils can use the Z XM Boost Version. Likewise, it says its classic and Boost Version B coils are fully interchangeable.
How long does a GeekVape coil last?
GeekVape rates its Z XM and B Boost Version coils for about 50ml to 60ml of e-liquid, which is about twice the life of its older coils. However, chain vaping, high power and high-VG e-liquid can shorten that. So change the coil once it tastes burnt or the flavor fades.
How long should I prime a new coil?
Wait about 5 minutes after you fill the tank, because GeekVape says a coil fired too soon can burn and lose much of its life. GeekVape’s own guides give anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes, so about 5 sits in the middle. After that, GeekVape suggests starting at the low end of the coil’s wattage range.
