Mesh coils have been the standard for six years now, and for good reason. A mesh strip has roughly 3x the surface area of a round-wire coil at the same resistance. More surface area means more juice in contact with the heating element at any given moment. That means more vapor, faster ramp-up, and noticeably better flavor.
Round wire heats unevenly. The center of the coil runs hotter than the edges. Mesh heats evenly across the entire strip. That's why mesh coils almost never give you that "hot spot" burnt taste that round wire coils are famous for.
The trade-off is juice consumption. A mesh coil at 0.4 ohms will burn through a tank about 20% faster than a round-wire coil at the same resistance. If you're budget-conscious, stick with higher-resistance mesh — 0.8 ohms or above. You'll still get the flavor benefit without the juice drain.
The real innovation nobody talks about: mesh coils fail gracefully. A round-wire coil goes from fine to burnt in about three puffs. A mesh coil gives you a full session of muted flavor before it turns. You'll know it's time to change before you get a mouthful of Satan's armpit.
