A Horizontech coil is the replaceable heating head that drops into a Horizontech sub-ohm tank and turns your e-liquid into vapour. The range is built for direct-to-lung vaping at higher power.
The wicking is the signature. Where most brands rely on cotton alone, Horizontech blends in wood pulp, natural flax and bamboo fibre depending on the coil.
Those fibres hold and release liquid differently, which is what gives the Falcon range its clean, full flavour. Most heads use a mesh element too, spreading the heat evenly for a faster, smoother draw.
Which Horizontech Coil Fits Your Tank?
Matching the coil to the tank is the whole game here, because Horizontech uses several fittings that do not swap between families.
The one that catches people out sits right at the top: the original Falcon coils do not fit the Falcon 2. The Falcon 2 runs a completely different sector mesh head, so ordering the wrong one is an easy and annoying mistake.
Here is the range at a glance. If you are unsure, the model name is usually printed on the tank base or the coil itself.

Coil series: Fits these Horizontech tanks: Resistances
Falcon F & M series: Falcon, Falcon King, Falcon Legend, Resin, Artisan: 0.15Ω to 0.38Ω
Falcon 2 Sector Mesh: Falcon 2 only: 0.14Ω (also seen at 0.16Ω)
Sakerz mesh: Sakerz, Sakerz Master: 0.16Ω, 0.17Ω, 0.4Ω
Aquila mesh: Aquila sub-ohm tank: see the live grid
Both the Sakerz and Falcon 2 heads press in by hand rather than screwing, so they seat and swap differently from the classic Falcon coils. These sub-ohm heads are made for DTL tanks, so if you are starting a setup from nothing, choose the tank first and let it decide the coil.
F-Series or M-Series: What Is the Difference?
The Falcon lineup splits into two camps, and knowing which you want saves a lot of guesswork.
The F-series are round-wire coils. F1 uses a wood pulp and cotton blend, F2 switches to natural flax fibre, and F3 pairs flax fibre with flax paper. They lean towards a slightly warmer, rounded flavour and sit around the 70W to 80W mark.
The M-series are mesh. M1 and M2 stick with the wood pulp and cotton mix, while M1+, M-Dual and the M6 and M8 heads bring bamboo fibre into play. Mesh ramps up faster and pushes more vapour, which is why the M1 in particular became the crew favourite of the range.
Short version: reach for an F coil if you want a classic, measured draw, and an M coil if flavour intensity and clouds matter more.
What Wattage Do Horizontech Coils Run At?
Every head has a printed range and a comfortable middle. Run near the top for warmth and vapour, or ease off for a cooler draw that lasts longer.
The Falcon range is the useful benchmark:
#table
Coil: Build: Wicking: Best around
F1 0.2Ω: Round wire: Wood pulp + cotton: 80W
F2 0.2Ω: Round wire: Natural flax fibre: 80W
F3 0.2Ω: Round wire: Flax fibre + flax paper: 70W
M1 0.15Ω: Mesh: Wood pulp + cotton: 70W
M2 0.16Ω: Mesh: Wood pulp + cotton: 70W to 80W
M1+ 0.16Ω: Mesh: Bamboo fibre: 75W
M-Dual 0.38Ω: Mesh: Bamboo fibre: 80W
The 0.38Ω M-Dual is the gentler option if you find the low-ohm heads too warm. As a habit, begin near the bottom of a coil's range and creep up until the flavour is right. The Sakerz 0.4Ω sits lower still, happiest around 40W.
Which E-Liquid Works Best in a Horizontech Coil?
These are thirsty sub-ohm coils, so they want thick, high-VG juice. Aim for 70% VG or more so the wick keeps up at speed.
That points you towards high VG e-liquid shortfills, which come at 0mg. Add a nicotine shot to hit your strength and you stay under the 20mg per ml limit. Nicotine is addictive, so match the level to your habit rather than overshooting.
Thin 50/50 liquids and 20mg salts are the wrong fit for a 0.15Ω Falcon head. Push them through a sub-ohm coil and you get a rough hit and a flooded tank. Save those for low-power pod coils.
How Do You Change and Prime a Horizontech Coil?
Swapping a Horizontech coil is quick once you know whether yours screws or presses in.
- Drain any e-liquid and unscrew the tank base from the mod.
- Take out the old head. Screw-in Falcon coils twist free, while the Sakerz and Falcon 2 heads pull out by hand.
- Wet the fresh coil. Run a few drops of e-liquid over every wicking window until the fibre darkens.
- Seat the new coil, threading it up to snug or pressing it firmly home. No forcing.
- Rebuild the tank, top it up, and leave it a full ten minutes so the wick soaks through.
- Draw a few times with the mod off, then vape gently and raise the power in steps.
Natural fibres reward patience on that soak. If you want the process spelled out, the vaping guides cover coil changes start to finish.
Why Is My Horizontech Coil Tasting Burnt?
Nine times out of ten, the coil was fired before the wick soaked through. Flax and bamboo need a proper rest after filling, and skipping it bakes the fibre dry on the first pull.
Too much wattage is the next suspect. Sit above a coil's rated range and you outrun the wicking, which lands as a harsh, toasted note.
Sweet, dark liquids also shorten the life of these heads. The residue coats the mesh, flattens the flavour, then eventually reads as scorched.
And if the tank is leaking or the glass has chipped rather than the coil being spent, that is a hardware fix. A fresh piece of replacement tank glass sorts it.
Are Horizontech Coils Legal in the UK?
Buying Horizontech coils here is entirely above board. The disposables ban that took effect on 1 June 2025 pushed the market towards reusable kit, and a replaceable coil is one of the three things that make a device legal, along with a rechargeable battery and a refillable tank.
You buy the head on its own, carry on using the tank, and refill from a bottle no larger than 10ml at up to 20mg per ml.
To be clear, legal is not the same as risk-free, and none of this is a health claim. It only means the hardware meets the current UK rules. Everything we carry is genuine UK-market Horizontech stock.
