HorizonTech Falcon 2 Coils 0.14ohm: what you are actually buying

The HorizonTech Falcon 2 Coils 0.14ohm are replacement atomiser heads for the Falcon 2 sub-ohm tank. They are a consumable part rather than a standalone vape. You fit one into the tank, fill the tank with e-liquid, and the coil is the component that turns that liquid into vapour. When the flavour fades, the vapour thins out or you start tasting something burnt, the coil is the part to replace, and this listing is for doing exactly that.

The headline number is the resistance. At 0.14 ohm this sits at the low end of what sub-ohm vaping uses. Low resistance lets a lot of current through the coil and heats it quickly, which is why it suits higher wattage and a big, airy draw rather than a tight, cigarette-style pull. If you are used to a 0.8 ohm or 1.0 ohm coil in a pod or a small tank, this is a very different experience, and the rest of this page explains the differences plainly so you can decide before you spend any money.

The facts that matter, in one place:

• Brand: HorizonTech, a Shenzhen-based hardware maker best known for its Falcon line of sub-ohm tanks.
• Type: replacement coil head (an accessory), not a complete vape.
• Resistance: 0.14 ohm, a low-resistance sub-ohm build.
• Construction: mesh, designed for direct-to-lung inhaling.
• Fits: the Falcon 2 tank. Confirm against your tank before ordering, because coil ranges are not interchangeable between brands and are sometimes not interchangeable between generations of the same brand.
• Pack size: check the product listing for the quantity in the pack. The per-coil price is the figure to work out.
• Use: nicotine or zero-nicotine e-liquid for adults aged 18 and over, within the UK rules on tank size and bottle size.

No spec sheet replaces reading the pack. Wherever this page gives a range, such as a wattage window, treat it as a guide and defer to the numbers printed on the coil head or the box, because those are the figures the manufacturer tested to. We would rather tell you that than invent precision we cannot back up.

Mesh coil construction: how a 0.14 ohm head works

A vape coil has two jobs. It holds a wick, usually cotton, that soaks up e-liquid from the tank, and it holds a heating element that raises the temperature of that liquid until it vaporises. The way those two parts are arranged is what separates one coil style from another.

Older sub-ohm coils used round wire wrapped around a cotton core. A mesh coil replaces the wire with a flat sheet of fine metal mesh, folded or rolled so that the cotton sits against it. The mesh is a grid of tiny metal strands, so the contact area between heating metal and wick is much larger than a wire coil can manage. That has three practical consequences:

• Faster ramp-up. A large, thin heating surface reaches working temperature in a fraction of a second, so the first puff after a pause is not noticeably weaker than the tenth.
• More even heating. Heat is spread across the whole surface instead of concentrated along a thin wire, which reduces hot spots and the harsh, scorched notes they cause.
• More liquid vaporised per second. Surface area is what lets a low-resistance coil turn a lot of liquid into vapour without cooking it.

Resistance is set by the geometry and the alloy of the mesh. A shorter, wider path for the current means lower resistance, and 0.14 ohm is a very low figure. The physics is simple. Power equals voltage squared divided by resistance, so for a given voltage a lower-resistance coil draws more current and produces more heat. In practice you do not choose voltage directly. A regulated device lets you choose wattage and works out the voltage for you. At 80W, for example, a 0.14 ohm coil is being fed about 3.35 volts and drawing about 24 amps.

The wick matters as much as the metal. Mesh heads of this type normally use cotton, and the wicking has to keep pace with a fast-heating surface. If liquid cannot reach the cotton quickly enough, the coil dries out and burns. That is why the liquid you choose, particularly its thickness, has a direct effect on how long the head lasts. We cover that in the nicotine and e-liquid section below.

We are not going to claim a specific alloy or cotton grade on this page, because the one thing worse than leaving out a detail is stating one that turns out to be wrong. If the exact material matters to you, for instance because of a metal sensitivity, check the markings on the pack or contact the brand directly before buying.

Performance and vapour delivery

A 0.14 ohm mesh coil is built for people who want volume. It produces a lot of warm vapour per puff and it does so quickly, with an open, relaxed draw that you inhale into the lungs rather than hold in the mouth first. If your idea of a satisfying vape is a dense, billowing exhale, this is the sort of coil that delivers it. If you prefer something discreet and tight, it will feel like overkill.

Power is the lever that controls everything. The manufacturer prints a recommended wattage window on the coil, and mesh heads of this resistance are typically run somewhere in the region of 60 to 100W. Always follow the figure on your pack. The list below shows what the electrical numbers look like across that sort of range for a 0.14 ohm load:

• 60W: about 2.9 volts at the coil, drawing about 20.7 amps. A cooler, more flavour-led setting.
• 70W: about 3.1 volts, about 22.4 amps. A balanced middle setting for most people.
• 80W: about 3.35 volts, about 23.9 amps. Denser vapour and a warmer draw.
• 90W: about 3.55 volts, about 25.4 amps. Heavy vapour, shorter coil life, higher battery drain.
• 100W: about 3.7 volts, about 26.7 amps. The top of the typical window, and not where most people stay.

Those figures are straight Ohm's law, not marketing claims, and they are useful because they tell you what your battery has to cope with. They also explain why low-resistance coils are unforgiving of weak batteries and low-power devices.

The practical advice is to start low and climb. Fit the coil, prime it properly, set the device towards the bottom of the printed range and take a few gentle puffs. Raise the power in steps of 3 to 5W until the draw feels right. Most people find a comfortable setting a little below the middle of the window and stop there, because the extra wattage past that point mostly adds heat rather than flavour. Running the coil at the very top of its range all day will shorten its life noticeably.

Airflow is the other half of performance. The Falcon 2 tank gives you adjustable airflow, and with a 0.14 ohm head you will generally want it fairly open. Closing the airflow right down on a coil like this concentrates the heat and can leave the vapour hot and the flavour muddy. Open it up until the draw is smooth and the vapour feels cool enough to inhale comfortably.

Expect consumption to rise too. A coil that vaporises this much liquid per puff will get through e-liquid faster than a pod or a low-power tank, which is worth keeping in mind when you work out running costs later on this page.

Flavour profile: what the coil does and does not change

A coil does not have a flavour of its own. What it does is decide how faithfully the flavour in the bottle reaches your mouth. Mesh coils have a good reputation here, and it is deserved, because the large and evenly heated surface vaporises liquid at a steady temperature instead of scorching some of it and barely warming the rest. The result is flavour that tastes rounded and consistent from puff to puff.

There is a trade-off to be honest about. Flavour is strongest at moderate temperatures, and a 0.14 ohm coil can easily be pushed beyond moderate. At the top of its wattage range the vapour is hotter and denser, and delicate notes such as fresh fruit, light tobacco or subtle floral flavours can get flattened. Bolder profiles such as dessert, rich fruit mixes, cola, menthol and sweet candy-style liquids tolerate high power better.

A few practical points on flavour:

• Break-in. A brand new head can taste faintly of cotton or metal for the first few puffs. Priming it properly and taking a few low-power puffs clears this. If a taste persists past the first tank, something is wrong, and the troubleshooting section below will help.
• Peak window. Most coils taste at their best from roughly the second day to the middle of their life, then flavour slowly fades as residue builds up.
• Sweeteners shorten flavour life. Heavily sweetened liquids leave a sugary film on the mesh that dulls taste and darkens the cotton faster than unsweetened liquids do. This is the biggest single reason coil life varies so much between users.
• Ghosting. Cotton holds on to the last flavour you vaped. If you swap from a strong menthol to a delicate strawberry in the same coil, you will taste menthol for a while. The clean fix is to change the coil, or to keep one tank and coil per flavour family.
• Throat hit. At low nicotine strengths the throat hit on a sub-ohm coil is soft. Menthol and ice flavours add a sensation of coolness that many people read as a stronger hit.

If flavour is your priority over cloud size, run the coil toward the lower part of its printed range, keep the airflow open enough to stay cool and use a liquid in the 50/50 to 70/30 VG to PG region. You will notice the difference straight away. If you want volume above all else, go the other way, and accept that the flavour will be a little less nuanced.

Design, build quality and compatibility

A coil is a small part and there is not much to say about its looks. What matters is how well it is made and whether it seats properly. The HorizonTech Falcon 2 coil sits in the base of the tank, with the cotton exposed to the liquid through slots or holes in the side of the head, a central chimney that carries vapour up to the drip tip, and a base that makes the electrical connection to the device.

Things worth checking when the pack arrives:

• Packaging and sealing. The pack should be intact and the coil should not be pre-wet or dirty. Buy from a reputable UK seller, because counterfeit coils are a recurring problem across the vape market and a fake head can behave unpredictably.
• Seals and rings. Look for the small silicone seals around the head. Make sure they are present, sit flat and are not split. A damaged seal is the most common cause of leaking.
• The wick. The cotton should look clean and white or off-white. Do not touch it with your fingers more than you have to, and never pull it or compress it.
• The contacts. The base should be clean, dry and undamaged. Bent or dirty contacts cause patchy firing or error messages.

On compatibility, this coil is designed for the Falcon 2 tank. Do not assume it fits other HorizonTech tanks, including the original Falcon or Falcon King, or any tank from another brand, even when the shape looks familiar. Coil ranges are tank-specific, and forcing the wrong head into a tank is a quick way to cause leaks, poor contact or damaged threads. If you are unsure, check the tank listing or the markings on the base of your existing coil, which usually show the resistance and the series.

It is also worth knowing the UK context. Tanks sold for nicotine vaping in the UK are limited to a capacity of 2ml. A UK-edition Falcon 2 will therefore hold less than the bigger-capacity editions you may see sold overseas, and you will refill more often as a result. The coil itself is the same job either way. If you imported a larger-capacity tank from elsewhere, be aware that it sits outside the capacity limit for UK retail sale.

Finally, treat the tank as part of the system. A cracked glass section, worn threads or tired seals will undermine even a flawless coil, so inspect the whole tank each time you change the head and replace worn parts rather than blaming the coil for a problem it did not cause.

Battery and device requirements for a 0.14 ohm coil

The coil has no battery, but it is the part that demands the most from one. A 0.14 ohm load pulls a lot of current, so the device you pair it with needs to be chosen with care. Get this wrong and the best case is a weak, disappointing vape. The worst case is a safety problem.

Requirements in plain terms:

• A regulated device. Use a variable-wattage mod or box that controls its own output and has built-in protections against short circuits, over-discharge and overheating. Do not use a 0.14 ohm coil on an unregulated mechanical mod. At a full 4.2 volts a fresh battery would be asked to deliver roughly 30 amps into this load, which is outside what most cells can safely supply.
• Enough output. The device must be able to run comfortably in the range printed on the coil, typically in the 60 to 100W area. Many compact pod devices are capped at 25 to 40W and will not fire a 0.14 ohm sub-ohm head properly.
• The right batteries. For a removable-cell device, use high-drain cells from a reputable maker with a continuous discharge rating comfortably above what you will draw. At 80W from a single battery you are asking for something in the region of 22 to 25 amps once conversion losses are counted, so a rating of 30A continuous or more is the sensible floor. A dual-battery device shares the load between two cells, which is easier on each of them.
• Matched, undamaged cells. In a dual-battery device use two cells of the same model, the same age and the same charge level. Never mix. Reject any cell with a torn wrap.

How long will the battery last? A rough calculation helps. A typical 3,000mAh cell holds around 11 watt-hours. A four-second puff at 80W uses about 320 joules, which is roughly 0.09 watt-hours, so a single cell gives somewhere around 100 puffs before it needs a charge once real-world losses are included. A dual-battery device gets about double that. Heavier use or higher wattage shortens it, and lower wattage lengthens it. These are estimates rather than test results, but they set expectations correctly: a 0.14 ohm coil drinks battery.

On charging, charge removable cells in a proper external charger rather than leaving them in the device on a cheap cable. For a device with a built-in battery, use the manufacturer's cable and a plug from a reputable brand, and do not charge unattended or overnight on a soft surface. If a battery is dented, hot, swollen or smells odd, stop using it and take it to a proper battery recycling point.

Nicotine strength and e-liquid choice

The coil sets how you vape. The liquid sets how it tastes and how much nicotine you take. With a 0.14 ohm coil the choice of liquid is more important than it is for a small pod, because the coil is moving a lot of liquid very quickly.

First, the UK rules. Under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016, nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK is capped at 20mg/ml, bottles of nicotine liquid are capped at 10ml, and tanks are capped at 2ml. That 20mg limit applied to the liquid in disposables when they were still on sale, and it applies to pods and refill liquids today. Single-use disposable vapes were banned from sale across the UK from 1 June 2025, so refillable systems and replacement coils are now the mainstream route for adult vapers, and that is part of why a listing like this one exists.

Second, strength. Sub-ohm vaping at 60 to 100W delivers a large volume of vapour per puff, so the nicotine strength you use should be much lower than the 10mg to 20mg nic salt strengths people use in pods. General guidance:

• 0mg: for people who have finished with nicotine or who enjoy the flavour and the hand habit.
• 3mg: the usual starting point for a 50ml shortfill topped up with a single 10ml nicotine shot, which gives roughly 3mg/ml. Suited to former light smokers.
• 6mg: for people moving away from a daily smoking habit who find 3mg unsatisfying at first. Many people drop down again after a few weeks.
• 10mg and above: usually nic salt territory. At 0.14 ohm and high wattage it tends to feel harsh in the throat and delivers a very large amount of nicotine per puff, so we would not recommend it as a starting point for this coil.

If you are coming from a pod and the first sub-ohm sessions feel unsatisfying, resist the urge to jump straight to a much higher strength. A sub-ohm setup delivers nicotine differently, with far more vapour per puff, so give your body a few days to adjust before changing anything. If you feel dizzy, queasy or get a headache, you are taking too much, and the answer is to lower the strength or the wattage.

Third, thickness. Mesh coils cope with thicker liquids better than older wire coils, but there is a limit. A 70VG/30PG liquid is the sensible default for a coil like this. 50/50 works well for flavour and keeps the cotton wicking easily. Very thick 80/20 and max-VG liquids can starve the cotton at 80W and above, which causes dry hits and burnt coils. If a liquid looks as thick as syrup, either keep the power down or choose something thinner.

Finally, remember that nicotine is addictive and these products are for adults only. If you do not already smoke or vape, there is no reason to start. If you are trying to stop smoking, local NHS stop smoking services can give free advice and support alongside vaping.

Who these coils are for, and who should look elsewhere

Coils at 0.14 ohm are a specialist item. They suit a particular kind of vaper very well and suit others poorly, and a sensible buying guide should say which is which.

Good fit:

• Existing Falcon 2 owners. If you already own the tank and like how it vapes, this is a straight replacement and the obvious purchase.
• Direct-to-lung vapers. People who inhale straight into the lungs and want a lot of warm vapour, rather than a tight mouth-to-lung draw.
• Adult smokers who want a bigger sensation than a pod. A well-set-up sub-ohm system can be satisfying if you have the right device and a low nicotine strength.
• Hobbyist vapers. People who enjoy tuning wattage and airflow, and who are comfortable handling batteries sensibly.
• People using freebase shortfills. The typical 50ml shortfill with a nicotine shot is made for this kind of coil.

Poor fit:

• Mouth-to-lung vapers. If you want a tight draw like a cigarette, a 0.14 ohm coil at an open airflow is the wrong tool. A higher-resistance coil of 0.6 ohm or above is better.
• Owners of low-power devices. A compact pod or a device capped at 25 to 40W will not run this coil properly.
• People who want something discreet. Large clouds are conspicuous and the batteries needed are bulky.
• First-time vapers with no battery knowledge. A simple, low-power pod system is a gentler starting point, and you can move to sub-ohm later if you want to.
• Anyone on a tight daily budget. High power burns through coils and liquid faster than low-power setups.
• Non-smokers and anyone under 18. Nicotine products are not for you, and it is illegal to sell them to people under 18 in the UK.

If you are undecided, ask yourself how you want the vapour to feel. If the answer is warm, full and airy, this coil fits. If the answer is tight, light and quiet, look at a lower-power system instead, and if you are not sure which sort of device you own, check its maximum wattage before you add a sub-ohm head to your basket.

Fitting, priming and using the coil

Getting the first ten minutes right adds days to a coil's life. Skip them and you can burn a head out on its first tank. The steps below apply to most sub-ohm tanks. Always follow the instructions inside the pack, which are specific to this coil.

• Empty and remove. Switch the device off or lock it, then empty the tank, unscrew the base and take out the old coil. Wipe any liquid off the threads and the contacts with a dry tissue.
• Check the new coil. Make sure the seals are fitted, the wick is clean, and the resistance marking reads 0.14 ohm.
• Seat it properly. Fit the new head fully into the base. If it threads in, tighten it only until snug with your fingers. Overtightening damages seals and threads and can cause leaks.
• Prime the wick. Drip a few drops of your liquid directly onto the exposed cotton through the side holes, until it looks evenly wet but not flooded. This is the most skipped step and the most important one.
• Fill the tank. Re-assemble, fill the tank with liquid, and let it stand for about five to ten minutes so the wick saturates fully from the inside.
• Set low. Set the device to the bottom of the printed wattage range, take a few gentle puffs without firing for long, then increase power in small steps.

Day-to-day habits that extend coil life:

• Keep the tank at least a quarter full. Vaping on an almost empty tank starves the wick.
• Avoid chain vaping. Give the cotton a few seconds between draws to re-wet.
• Do not fire the device when the tank is empty or the coil is not seated. That is a dry fire, and it ruins a head in seconds.
• Keep the tank upright when you can. Lying it on its side lets liquid flood the airflow.
• Rinse the tank, base and drip tip when you change a coil. Residue left behind taints the next one.

Refilling in the UK is straightforward but fiddly, because the 10ml nicotine bottles and 2ml tanks are small by design. Fill slowly along the side of the chimney, keep liquid out of the central airflow tube, and wipe up spills straight away. Store spare coils in their packaging in a cool, dry place away from children and pets.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with a mesh coil have simple causes. Work through them in order before you decide a coil is faulty.

• Burnt or acrid taste. The commonest cause is a coil that was not primed, or that has dried out because the tank ran low or the liquid is too thick. Take it out, re-prime it and drop the wattage. If the cotton is already dark brown or black, the head is spent, so replace it.
• Dry hits. Hot, harsh vapour with little of it points to a wick that is not saturating. Check the liquid level, open the juice flow if the tank has a control, pause between draws and move to a thinner liquid.
• Gurgling or spitting. Usually condensation or flooding. Blow gently back through the drip tip to clear the chimney, wipe the airflow, and check that the head is seated and the seals are in place.
• Leaking. A damaged seal, an overtightened base, a cracked tank or overfilling are the usual suspects. Dismantle, dry every part, inspect the seals and rebuild.
• Weak flavour. If it was fine and is now fading, the coil is wearing out. If it is weak from the start, check that you are not running too hot or with airflow closed too far, and that you have not gone for a very thick liquid.
• Check atomizer, no atom or short circuit message. Unscrew the tank, clean the contacts and the device's connector, refit, and make sure the coil is properly seated. If the message persists on a known-good device, the head may have failed.
• Device will not fire or fires weakly. Check the battery charge first. A 0.14 ohm load drains a half-flat battery and the device may cut out or limit its output.
• Hot vapour. Lower the wattage and open the airflow. Hot vapour is a sign you are demanding more than the coil and liquid can comfortably deliver.
• Short coil life. Sweet, sugary liquids, high wattage, chain vaping and low liquid levels are the four things that shorten it. Change one at a time and see what helps.

If you have tried these steps with a freshly primed coil, a charged battery, a clean tank and a sensible liquid and the problem persists, you may have received a faulty head. Keep the pack and the packaging, and contact the shop with a description of the problem rather than discarding it.

Coil life, running costs and value for money

Coil life is where value for money really gets decided, and it is also the part most listings dodge. A coil does not last a fixed number of puffs. Its life depends on your wattage, your liquid and your habits, so any single figure is an estimate.

As a rough guide, a sub-ohm mesh coil run sensibly typically lasts somewhere between one and three weeks for a regular daily vaper. If you assume 150 to 300 puffs a day, that is a very approximate range of 1,000 to 4,000 puffs per head. Heavily sweetened liquids and wattage at the top of the range push you toward the short end. Moderate wattage and less sugary liquids push you toward the long end.

To work out what the coil really costs you, use a simple formula:

• Divide the pack price by the number of coils in the pack to get the cost per coil.
• Divide the cost per coil by the number of days a head lasts for you to get the daily coil cost.
• Add your daily e-liquid cost, which on a high-power setup is often larger than the coil cost.

E-liquid is the real running cost. A coil that vaporises this much liquid per puff can use several millilitres a day for a heavy user, so a 100ml shortfill might last somewhere between one and three weeks depending on how much you vape. Stocking up on bigger bottles is cheaper per millilitre than buying small ones, and the same applies to buying coils in packs rather than singly.

Compared with the disposable vapes that are now off the market in the UK, a refillable tank with replacement coils is generally the cheaper way to vape over a month, even allowing for the up-front cost of the device. It also produces less waste, because you are replacing a small head rather than throwing away a complete device and battery each time.

On recycling, do it properly. Never put batteries or devices in your household bin or recycling, as damaged lithium cells cause fires in bin lorries and waste sites. Take them to a household waste recycling centre or a retailer take-back point, and use the Recycle Your Electricals locator to find your nearest one. Spent coils are small metal-and-cotton parts. Wipe off residual liquid and check your local council's guidance on whether they can go in general waste or should be taken to a recycling drop-off with your other vape waste.

Is this coil good value? It is if you own the Falcon 2, you vape at sub-ohm power and you buy at a fair per-coil price. It is poor value if the coil does not suit the way you vape, because a cheap coil you hate costs more than a dearer one you use. Check the per-coil price against alternatives for your tank rather than just the pack price.

Honest comparison with other coils, and our verdict

Coils are tank-specific, so the real choice is rarely between this coil and one from another brand. It is between the different resistances available for your Falcon 2, or between this tank system and a different one entirely. With that in mind, here is how a 0.14 ohm mesh head compares fairly.

• Against higher-resistance coils in the same range. A coil in the 0.2 to 0.4 ohm region runs at lower wattage, lasts longer on a battery, uses less liquid and is easier on cheaper devices. You give up some vapour volume and some of the warm, airy feel. If your device tops out at 50W, one of these will serve you better than a 0.14 ohm head.
• Against mouth-to-lung coils at 0.6 to 1.2 ohm. These are tighter, quieter and far more economical, and they suit nic salt liquids at higher strengths. They are a different style of vaping, not a lesser or greater one.
• Against mesh coils from other brands. Lines from makers such as Voopoo, Uwell, Freemax and Smok also sell mesh heads in the 0.14 to 0.2 ohm region for their own tanks. In general terms the mesh principle is the same, and real-world differences come down to build consistency, wicking quality and how long a head lasts under your use. We would not claim this coil outperforms those. It simply is the one that fits the Falcon 2, and a coil that fits your tank beats a theoretically better one that does not.
• Against disposable vapes. A refillable system gives you more control over flavour, strength and cost, but asks more from you in setup, charging and maintenance. With disposables no longer on sale in the UK, this is the practical alternative for many adult vapers.

Pros and cons in short. On the plus side, mesh gives fast ramp-up, even heating and good flavour at moderate power, and the 0.14 ohm resistance delivers dense vapour. On the minus side, it needs a capable regulated device and high-drain batteries, it uses liquid quickly, it is unsuitable as a first device for a new vaper, and coil life at high power is modest.

Our verdict. These are a sensible, honest replacement for Falcon 2 owners who vape direct-to-lung at sub-ohm power and have a device that can handle them. They are not the right pick for mouth-to-lung vapers, for compact low-power devices or for anyone new to vaping who wants a gentle start. Match the coil to your tank, your device and your habits, start at a low wattage and step up carefully. Do that, and a pack of these should serve you well.
