Hiya, I was just having a moment of contemplation whilst sucking on my micro coiled Aerotank, blowing out clouds of sweet tasting custard vapour  , we all know that home built coils are the best especially if you've mastered a micro coil type build, so was just wondering if anyone knows how Stock coils are made ? are they factory machine produced ? or is there some poor workforce, forced to hit targets and therefore producing sub par coils ? do people actually make stock coils or is a big fail machine ? now ive typed this it seems like a stupid question but anyone know ?  |

It's not a stupid question, as many people have wondered. (Obviously, I have wondered, because I wonder about everything in the entire universe.....) They must be partly hand done, as I've bought some sh** ones before. So bad, I could have done better in the dark after 5 beers.  |

I suppose it stands to reason that they would be mass produced on machinery, after all only have to pay "honorable wagepacket" to just one person. As for the variation, I wonder if "end of shift, Friday afternoon sheer tedium" could have an effect.

Could a machine really fit a coil and wick into a head ?
I dont think it could, i bet the coils are wrapped onto silica by a machine but surely the rest has to be done by human hand ?

Judging by some of the stock coils I've received I think they're made as part of a government-sponsored scheme to help blind amputees back into work

They are mainly made on machine, I have seen a video of a factory visit to China in the past. BUT some are also made by hand  |

Who's the "we" in "we all know"? Many vapers happily use stock coils. The majority of the ones I used at the start were absolutely fine. I only make them now as it's quick and easier than sending for them.

Many vapers happily use stock coils. I do.  The FT ones though I do give a Bicarb Bath first to get rid of any funky taste . . . Innokin and Kanger I don't find there's the need. |

There's room for everyone. My only concern is someone thinking about giving up cigs reading forums and thinking "it seems like too much faffing". There are many I never look at. The ones where if you don't put a hot coil down your throat and set light to your head you're wimping out.
This forum is the best out there. I've learned a lot, but I enjoy a bit of a faff. Plus it was an interesting question. I've often wondered, on taking a stock coil apart, how they get them so blinking neat.

I've only learnt to coil in case the British Govt. get funny and ban stuff I use, forewarned and forearmed I say! p.s Love the link!!! its a modern assembly line --- cool! |

Just get a tea/coffee cup and fill half way with warm water, add 2 teasoons of Bicarbonte and drop the heads in there. Leave overnight, then rinse the heads thoroughly. Put the heads in a tea towel and give them a good spin in the garden (yes really!) to remove the excess water. They can now be used straight away or left to dry (I don't bother).  |
