Coil Porn: A New Way to Appreciate Coil Builds

What the Hell Is Coil Porn?

Coilporn arose out of appreciation rather than titillation. Nobody knows who first coined the term "porn" to describe images of fused Clapton, Alien, and other sorts of vape coils, but it was unavoidable.

Vapers have never been shy about photographing and sharing their rigs. That bravado, along with the reality that vapers already gather in huge numbers on the Internet, should have been a foreshadowing of things to come.

Coil porn, on the other hand, is more of a display of pride in a job well done than anything more. It has also aided in the popularisation of coil constructions and materials that aren't often used outside of the maker community.

Where to Find

The greatest place to look for coil porn is on the internet. There are countless Facebook groups, subreddits, and Instagram pages dedicated to the technique of creating insane coils and then utilising them with the greatest box mods.

These social media platforms are arguably the finest places to observe what builders are up to. It will require more skill and expertise to make your own coilporn. Popular coil builders produce step-by-step films detailing how they achieve their constructions on a few YouTube accounts.
