Thanks that's great BUT I never feel obliged to recoil them. I just love doing it. Please send complete coil heads if possible as I'm now finding that some I'm getting back to be recoiled after months of use have damaged threads that screw into the device.
The only bit I don't need is the O ring. I ordered 500 red replacements so I can tell which heads have the NR leg coils.
Your wish is my command smifee ! I've been coiling like a man possessed. As fast as I build up a stock one of 'my vapers' returns their stock for replacements.
Did a stocktake and found I have over 100 BVC bodies waiting to be drilled so I don't think I'll run out of replacements soon.
Sooooooo grommets only is good as it will save on postage. Royal Mail want a 'Large' stamp if whole coil bodies are posted.

I can start collecting aspire coils too. I don't have anywhere near that number (think I have 4, haha) Out of interest, what do you use the used coils for? I only keep them when I think they have slight life left but the flavour isn't quite what it was. I've binned a load of them! Will remember not too in future! I recoil them with a horizontal coil so that they can be rewicked easily hopefully for several months until a new coil is needed.
The rubber grommets, that the bottom pin goes into, eventually fail and I can't find a supplier of them. This is the only way I can get the grommets.

I am a real 'anorak' about norty coils and can bore for England about them. When trying to identify the cause of the flooding the size of the wicking holes was one possible. In this case size doesn't matter.

Great pic and it gives me a chance to show how to spot a clone. From the top count round 6 and compare the grommet,on the pin at the bottom, with the next one. The genuine has twice the depth. When recoiling them I need all the space available and the clone grommets put the top of the pin too close to the new horizontal coil. Doesn't change the deal though Pepperty. I'll post the Cleito coils Mon or Tues.

Hi Pepperty One pack of 5. I paid £8.75 per pack so that's 24p per used coil. You pay postage to me & I pay postage to you. Deal?

Have you got a hoard or friends who use them?
I will be offering to trade various items for quantities of used coils:- Boxed Kabuki 510 clones, 5 pack Cleito .4 ohm coils, Mor Crann mechanical mod, Provari 2.5s, spares for Nautilus & Mini, & 5 pack Nautilus BVC coils.
Please note I only want genuine Aspire coils. No clones or BDCs.
To give those interested time to collect I'll give a couple of months before posting items for trade.

The problem is that as more of 'my vapers' are using recoiled heads I am selling less stock coils. This means I am not getting enough used coils to get the grommets from. I'm collecting a bundle for you smifee to use for ' parts ' . . . . so you don't feel obliged to recoil them, having already done a lovely batch for me - I'll just send you the grommets when I've got a few more gathered up. Thanks that's great BUT I never feel obliged to recoil them. I just love doing it. Please send complete coil heads if possible as I'm now finding that some I'm getting back to be recoiled after months of use have damaged threads that screw into the device.

Thanks for all your suggestions. As Get Off My Cloud pointed out if I wanted them in the hundreds of thousands I could get them easily. Postmodern Smoking the clone bvc coils grommets are not as good as the real thing. I was having 5000 made before finding out the cost of the production tool. Tomo I've tried quite a few companies and only one was prepared to make them. I think I ought to make clear that I'm not looking to make a profit from this. Explanation:- I am a retired old fart who has always been a cackhanded practical numpty. I can't even assemble flat pack furniture. Encouraged by several forum members I decided to have a go at mixing & recoiling. This was met with much hilarity by family & friends. To everyone's surprise I did it but soon ran out of new people to mix & coil for. A car boot sale led to about 30 'customers'. As I didn't want or need to make a profit I found ways to get rid of it. Free cases, vape bands, lanyards, drip tips, seals, liquid samples and recoiled heads. The problem is that as more of 'my vapers' are using recoiled heads I am selling less stock coils. This means I am not getting enough used coils to get the grommets from.

I want to identify the manufacturer of the rubber grommets used in Nautilus BVC coils.
A formal request for the information would probably be rejected as they won't want vapers recoiling the coil heads.
I had arranged to get some made in silicone in the UK. Price was 36 pence each but they wanted £4000 to make the production tool
I doubt they would tell you who produces them and even if they did the manufacturer probably wouldn't sell you any there's probably a design patent on them which is owned by Aspire. Might be worth a shot asking Aspire if they can sell you a box though. I'm sure they wouldn't tell or sell. I'm hoping to get the info unofficially.
If no luck with an insider I'll contact silicone /rubber manufacturers in Shenzhen.
China & design patents!!! Where do all the clones come from?

Hi smifee How long do your rebuilt coils last you? And where do you get your fresh grommets from? The coils last for months with rewicking.
I get fresh grommets by selling stock BVC coils to people I make liquids for who recoil ( see what I did there ) at the thought of rewicking. They give me 10 used coil heads in exchange for 1 stock coil. What I make on selling the coils is gone when I give them a new one. I then recoil them and give them to others, I make liquids for, who are prepared or unable to rewick.
I used to get used coil heads from forum members until the recoiled ones started leaking in shirt pockets. Your shirts in fact. When I've finished redoing my vapers coils, backlog down to 150 now, I'll offer to do some for forum members again.
