FreeMax MX Coils Review: 4 Honest Options

Reviewed by Ismail Hossain, Product Specialist — Last reviewed: September 28, 2026
This review is based on the product listing and manufacturer information published on our own site, not on hands-on testing — Vapor AE is both the reviewer and the seller here, so treat this as an informed buying guide rather than an independent lab test. The FreeMax MX coils are high-power, plug-in mesh replacement coils for FreeMax’s MX-platform devices, including the Maxus series from 2021 onwards. They come in a pack of 3 with four options: 0.12Ω MX1 SS316L, 0.15Ω MX1, 0.15Ω MX3 and 0.2Ω MX2, rated from 40W to 110W. They cost AED 60 per pack at Vapor AE, with delivery to all seven emirates.

| MX1 0.15Ω | 50–80W (best at 70W) |
| MX2 0.2Ω | 60–90W (best at 80W) |
| MX3 0.15Ω | 80–110W (best at 100W) |

| Brand | FreeMax |
FreeMax’s official MX Mesh Coil page describes the design and compatibility but gives no resistances or wattages, so those figures come from retailer listings that agree with each other. FreeMax’s page mentions both its CoilTech 4.0 (tea fibre cotton and mesh) and a newer CoilTech 5.0 Double-D mesh; the version depends on the batch, so we do not name one.
MX1 vs MX2 vs MX3: Which FreeMax MX Coil Should You Choose?
FreeMax describes the MX coil as the plug-in version of its M Pro mesh coils. All four options are sub-ohm, direct-lung coils for cloud vaping; the choice comes down to how much power you want to use.
0.12Ω MX1 SS316L and 0.15Ω MX1
The 0.12Ω MX1 SS316L (40–80W) uses SS316L stainless steel mesh; it can run in normal wattage mode, and because SS316L suits temperature control it can also be used in a TC mode if your device supports it (retailers list 400–550°F). The standard 0.15Ω MX1 (50–80W) is a good all-round choice, giving dense vapour at around 70W without the battery drain of the MX3.
0.2Ω MX2 and 0.15Ω MX3
The 0.2Ω MX2 (60–90W) is a step up in power, with retailers quoting a sweet spot of about 80W. The 0.15Ω MX3 (80–110W) is the highest-power option in this pack, best at about 100W — it needs a strong device and uses e-liquid quickly.
Which Devices Do FreeMax MX Coils Fit?
FreeMax says the MX platform applies to its Maxus series products launched in 2021 and later. The coils do not fit FreeMax pod kits or other FreeMax tanks that use different coils — the coil code printed on your old coil tells you which one you need. Other FreeMax products in stock at Vapor AE include the FreeMax Onnix OX DVC coils (dual vertical mesh, 5 per pack, AED 49), the FreeMax MS mesh coils for the Marvos T (5 per pack, AED 49), and the FreeMax Rexa Pro Kit 30W.

How Long Does an MX Coil Last, and How Do You Fit One?
Coil Lifespan
High-power coils wear faster than low-power pod coils, because they move much more e-liquid through the cotton. Sweet e-liquids caramelise on the mesh faster; tobacco and menthol flavours are usually gentler. Running a coil at the top of its range also shortens its life. Replace the coil when the flavour turns muted or burnt even after a refill, the vapour becomes thinner at the same wattage, or the tank starts to gurgle or spit.
How to Fit and Prime It
- Empty the tank or pod and remove it from the device.
- Pull the old MX coil straight out and push the new one firmly into place.
- Drip a few drops of e-liquid onto the cotton through the coil’s wicking holes.
- Reassemble, fill with e-liquid and wait about five minutes so the cotton soaks.
- Set the power at the low end of the coil’s range, for example 50W for the MX1 0.15Ω, and raise it slowly towards the recommended setting.
Never fire a dry coil. At these power levels, a dry coil burns in a single puff.
Best E-Liquid for MX Coils and UAE Rules
MX coils are sub-ohm, direct-lung coils. Use a low-strength freebase e-liquid with a higher VG ratio, which vaporises cleanly at high power; nicotine salts are not suitable at 40–110W. Browse our UAE e-liquids. Replacement coils contain no nicotine themselves — the rules apply to the e-liquid you use with them. Electronic nicotine products in the UAE must meet UAE.S 5030:2018, the technical regulation set by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT), which caps e-liquid nicotine at 20mg/mL (2%). From 1 September 2026, a minimum excise price of AED 1 per mL also applies to e-liquid. Sale is restricted to adults 18 and over — see our guide to vaping laws in Dubai and the UAE for the full picture.
