In fareness they are top quality. I used one for around 4 months all day every day. And Jonco will tell you himself his coils aren't as robust as the nvape coils because the wire isn't as thick. But having used both Jonco's vape just as well.

They really are super little tanks mybad I use mine a lot and the vape quality from the fastech one was just as good (with a naturevape coil in it) One of the reasons that the naturevape coils work so well is that they remove the plastic/rubber cap from the coil head, this doesn't work in all tanks (I've tried ) But in the naturevape mini it works superbly, allowing juice and air to circulate more freely around the wicks (I'm guessing) I was planning to get another mini at some point but since trying the innokin gladius I won't be. Why? ... the vape quality isn't quite as good, but it's close. I'm confident that I can recoil or at least rewick the heads in order to fix this (but I can't experiment yet as the OH "tried" it and now won't give it back ) I'll be getting another one soon to mess with BUT having a sealed 510 connection means no wiping the battery connection! The naturevape mini doesn't "leak" as such (unless you mess up the rewicking) but it does get a damp bottom (a problem we all like to avoid ) Mine is very leaky, and often a bit spitty too. I find I have to put the grommet back on but tend to use the coil heads in a Davide anyway as I found the mini a bit flimsy really. I wasn't massively enamoured with the nature vape coils in all honesty, yes they are better than a stock Kanger single coil but I prefer the flavour from an Aspire BDC (assuming its not one of the many dodgy heads of course) or the redesigned duel coil Kangers in an aerotank mini or mega. And of course since I got the mini nautilus and the BVC coils they barely get a look in. I only really use mine to sample juices as you can change flavour dead easy by rewicking - they are a bit temperamental for normal use in a tank for me. And they are hideously over priced for what they are - it was a good business idea so all credit to them but £6 for a single head is taking the proverbial a bit

I dunno why, but i am always facinated and watch threads about NV. I brought a coil earlier this year and just couldnt get on with it, it made my juice taste harsh and well...strange so i PIF. With all the recent talk and debate about their coils and the general concensus that they are better than even a diy coil I thought I would try them again. Received my coils x2 yesterday,this time i ordered the aerotank ones. Fired it up last night. The taste was again off, I dunno if it is my juice or wick, so I changed the wick this morning to a rayon wick and it still tastes off! I know this is not common and more than likely user error but I am wondering if there is a coil bed in time or if I am just sensitive to the taste of the wire. Will try another juice maybe but for me, if it continues to taste like this for me, then no matter how perfect the coil or how long they last, i may have to pass

They may just not be for you. Happens will all things in vaping doesn't it. You'll see a product be raved about by so many. Try it yourself and wonder what the fuss is about. You were kind enough to send me the nvape coil and I loved it. Used it daily and it lasted till end of last week. They do tend to be a bit marmite don't they naturevape haha. I think the coils are great. I could never build one to that standard. But then I'm impatient and cack handed. I don't mind paying £6 for what is clearly a top quality product that lasts months on end. Say I got three. Going by the last one that would do me for a year. I can't say enough good about the coils personally. What I do mind (and I've said this before) is paying £3.50 first class post for a kanger head. Which means I haven't bought another coil from them. I know it seems petty but it's just my personal opinion. I'm currently using one from Jonco. It's a lot more faf to recoil. But if it lasts half the time I'll be happy.

Must be nice to be in such a good position to lose customers...

I don't use cloud9 either for that reason. It sounds so petty I know. Especially given how much I praise the coil. They really are fantastic. But I just can't bring myself to pay that price postage for something so tiny. Other vendors have different postage for different sized things. I don't want it expect free postage. I don't want a vendor to take a loss on postage. I just don't want to be ripped off on postage. In fairness their postage has come down. It used to be £6 first class.

Its not petty... if they are doing it to every customer then they are raking it in... i contacted House of Mods and complained so he said he would post the item for a £1.00 but i would have to send them an email requesting it and state in that email that i would accept full responsibilty if it got lost in the post.....lol.. and i stopped using cloud9 also because of the same thing, i aint used them for around 2 1/2 years now... last time i ordered from them was when a £2.50 510 adapter turned into £6.00 at checkout... oh and did i mention princples.......lol

I agree I would rather wait 3-4 weeks from slowtech than pay extortionate postage costs

Thing with Fasttech is, as soon as you mention the name a lot people immediately think "Clone"... and that's all its good for, they have a mountain of other goodies too tho ... .. I love the place, i actually feel a little bit addicted ...lol

Going to try the coil with a different juice tonight to see if that is the problem but i definately think it is down to the coil itself that i am tasting. If i cant get on with it, the two i have will have to move on. I have also two of Jonco's coils that i got for comparisson as they are a decent price and i also use a guy on ebay who does 2 microcoils for 99p and they are always good. Me thinks I am not being cost effective as i keep changing the actual coils before they are done with

There are plenty of vendors milking the P&P charge.
They can s** off.
It's not funny, they are taking the proverbial.

I make my own coils Mrsmac and find that when they are brand new they taste a bit strange, I can't describe it but they make red astaire taste funky, this funky taste lasts from half a dozen pulls to a tank full before they settle in, changing the wick (cotton wool for me) brings some of the funky taste back but not as much and not for as long. Micro-coils are really worth persevering with though as they are, in my opinion the best and cheapest way to get a decent vape.
