Aspire BVC Coils: 1.6 and 1.8 Ohm for the K1 Plus, K1 and Spryte
Aspire BVC coils are Aspire’s general bottom vertical coils, five to a pack, for its compact mouth-to-lung tanks: the K1, K1 Plus and K Lite, and the Spryte. We list the 1.6Ω and the 1.8Ω.
We’ve corrected this page. The short description said 0.16 and 0.18Ω: these are 1.6Ω and 1.8Ω coils. And don’t confuse them with Aspire’s Nautilus BVC coils, which share the name but are listed for different tanks.
🔌 Aspire BVC Coils at a Glance
✔ Five coils per pack
✔ 1.6Ω: 3.0–4.2V, 6–11W
✔ 1.8Ω: 4.2–5.0V, 9–13W
✔ Mouth to lung
✔ K1, K1 Plus, K Lite and Spryte
✔ Not Nautilus BVC coils
BVC Coil Resistances, Voltage and Wattage
Aspire gives both volts and watts, because these coils often run on simple 510 batteries. Aspire also makes a 2.1Ω general BVC coil (5.0–6.0V, 11–16W), which we don’t list.
| Resistance | Voltage (Aspire) | Wattage (Aspire) |
|---|---|---|
| 1.6Ω | 3.0–4.2V | 6–11W |
| 1.8Ω | 4.2–5.0V | 9–13W |
Which Tanks Take Aspire BVC Coils?
Aspire lists both coils for the Spryte, K1, K Lite and K1 Plus. Its K1 Plus FAQ also names the original BVC coils for the ET-S and K1, and the Spryte manual says Spryte coils swap with the original CE5 BVC coils.
We stock the Aspire K1 Plus tank, a 510 clearomizer that takes both coils on this page: Aspire’s K1 Plus FAQ says it’s compatible with the original BVC coils for the ET-S and K1, and with Spryte coils. Pair it with any 510 battery that suits the coil’s voltage range.
Will not fit: Nautilus-family tanks, which take Aspire Nautilus coils. Aspire’s 1.2Ω Spryte nic-salt coil is for the Spryte AIO only.
How to Change and Prime a BVC Coil
- Unscrew the tank from the battery and empty it.
- Unscrew the base and unscrew the old coil from it.
- Wet the new coil’s cotton through its side holes, and add a drop to the top.
- Screw the new coil in, refit the base and fill the tank.
- Aspire’s Spryte manual gives the coil five minutes to soak; do the same here before your first puff.
How Long Does a BVC Coil Last?
Aspire doesn’t publish a figure. These coils run at low power, so they’re forgiving; what shortens them is mostly sweet or dark e-liquid and running the battery hotter than the coil’s range. Change it when the flavour dulls or turns bitter.
BVC Coil Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely cause and fix |
|---|---|
| Burnt taste | The coil wasn’t primed, or the voltage is above its range. The 1.6Ω is rated to 4.2V. |
| Weak, cool vapour | The voltage is too low for the 1.8Ω. Turn it up within 4.2–5.0V, or use the 1.6Ω. |
| Leaking from the base | The coil isn’t screwed in fully or a seal is missing. |
| The coil won’t fit | You may have a Nautilus-family tank: those take Nautilus coils. |
Best E-Liquids for BVC Coils
Use nic salts at 10mg or 20mg, or a 50/50 freebase e-liquid at 12mg to 18mg. These are mouth-to-lung coils, so a high-VG shortfill will be too thick for them.
