Recoil Alien Coils Ni80 Thundercloud × Grimmgreen

What Are The Recoil Alien Coils Ni80 By Thundercloud × Grimmgreen?

The Recoil Alien Coils Ni80 are high-end prebuilt coils crafted from nichrome (Ni80) alloy, handmade by ThunderCloud and curated by GrimmGreen to deliver premium quality. These coils follow the “alien” style—multiple core wires wrapped with a wavy textured outer wire—offering enhanced surface contact, rapid heat distribution, and excellent flavour retention.

What Are These Coils Used For?

These coils are intended for rebuildable atomizers such as RDAs, RTAs, and RDTAs, particularly in direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping set-ups. Since they come ready to install, they are ideal for vapers who want top-tier performance without having to build coils from scratch. The result is dense vapor and rich flavour with less effort.

Advantages Of The Recoil Alien Coils Ni80

• Handmade quality: Each coil is hand-crafted and individually tested to ensure consistent performance.

• Ni80 material: Provides fast ramp-up time and excellent conductivity, ideal for use in wattage mode.

• Alien-style wrap: Increases surface area for better e-liquid evaporation and stronger flavour.

• Easy to install: No building skills required—just install, wick, and vape.

• Available in "Straight" and "Opposite" versions: Typically 0.6 Ω for Straight and 0.65 Ω for Opposite, depending on airflow and draw preferences.

Comparison With Other Coil Types

Compared to simple wire coils, the Recoil Alien Coils deliver superior flavour and vapour due to their complex build and larger surface area.

While more aggressive multi-core coils may provide heavier cloud output, these Alien coils balance performance with power efficiency and are more forgiving on e-liquid consumption.

One possible limitation is their sub-ohm rating, which requires careful pairing with regulated mods and adequate battery output.

How To Install And Use The Recoil Alien Coils Ni80

1. Check compatibility: Ensure your mod supports ~0.6 Ω resistance and that your atomizer can accommodate these coils.

2. Install the coil: Insert the coil legs into the posts, tighten them, and trim excess wire.

3. Wick properly: Thread cotton with the right density—not too loose or too tight.

4. Dry burn test: Briefly pulse to verify that the coil heats evenly from the centre out.

5. Prime the wick: Saturate the cotton with a few drops of e-liquid before your first use.

6. Set your power: Start at a moderate wattage, then increase gradually to find the optimal balance.

7. Monitor performance: If flavour fades or dry hits occur, it may be time to re-wick or replace the coil.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these compatible with regulated mods? Yes, they are optimized for wattage mode (VW).

• What wattage range should I use? Between 45–80 W is recommended depending on set-up.

• When should I replace them? Replace when flavor quality drops or repeated dry hits occur.

• Straight vs Opposite? Straight provides linear heating; Opposite creates a more diffused airflow sensation—choose based on personal preference.

• Are they compatible with all rebuildables? As long as your RDA or RTA supports 3.0 mm ID coils and similar resistance, they should fit without issue.

• What cotton should I use with these coils? You can use any cotton you like, but we do stock Recoil Wicking Cotton, as well as over 40 other types of vape cotton.
