Smok's building quality is getting worse every year with their coils.
This time I've ordered this coils pack and when I tried to use them my mod (Smok alien) wasn't detecting it in the tank. After an inspection and trying a second coil from the same package, I noticed the build quality was so bad, the lower part of the coil wasn't touching the metal connector in the Smok tank properly, so there was no way any electric circuit was being able to exist.
I had to cannibalize an old used Smok coil and replace the badly built metal part to make it work. I think this is time to move away from Smok products.

I've used these coils for years and, beside the odd leaking issues, I've never had any problems with them. Recently though, I'm seeing more and more "Atomiser not found" issues due to the coils not being assembled correctly.
In the last 3 packs (15 coils) I've had at least 5 DOA and probably 2-3 that needed fixing to solve the aforementioned, that's around 50% that exhibit some issue.

These are great coils - but they currently have a few issues, biggest one being quality. You must leave these to absorb your juice as the wadding is very tight and assuming you have nailed that just beware of potential leaking issues with these.
I thought it was me being fairly new to the scene but having checked online - there are too many posts and videos to mention that detail the "potential" issues with these coils.
If you check the packaging before you pop a new coil, you may notice the bottom seal on some is not flush - with the bottom end sitting at an angle - this is causing the leaking issue so be sure to try and level off bottom part and ensure the seal is intact and tight to the main housing.
I had 3 just like that in my new batch so come on Smok - sort it out please.

These coils are better for people with mods that don't have a high watt output.
Personally the flavour isn't anywhere near as good as the 1.5/2.0 stock coils.
I broke in every coil as you should do, yet despite that these coils performed worse then pretty much any other coil I've ever used. At this point I'll put them away for a rainy day, but I cant reccomend them unless your desperate for coils as VC seem to have trouble getting other kinds of tfv8 baby coils.
I don't chain vape and use clear juices generally with tanks, so they shouldnt be burning out in 48 hours while. After using each coil I took them apart to find the coils black and the cotton completely burnt threw.
1st coil lasted 2 days - 70vg juice @ 55w
2nd coil lasted 2 days - 80vg juice @ 50w
3rd coil lasted 2 days- 65vg juice @45w
I've been vaping for 2-3 years and one a range of tanks and drippers and I really can't see this to be down to user error.
Smok need to address these poor quality coils asap.
