Believe it or not, this post is not inspired by the fact that we now sell Coilology coils. Coilology was decided upon by us based on their reputation, quality and value for money, not because of their wholesale price.
Neither is it inspired by our juices. None of our juices contain any Chinese sourced ingredients, they are European and USA sourced.
It is inspired by the fact that in my search the past few months for coils that I can live with the old 'Chinese products are crap' mantra reared it's familiar head once too often. Because I mention our products, I will post it in our forum and not the general forum.
The latest was about Chinese steel vs Sandvik. After some lengthy discussion about why the more perfect Swiss steel was so much better than the imperfect Chinese steel, someone kindly pointed out that if this was true, the Chinese steel should perform better in the flavour and clouds department precisely because of it's imperfections. The Swiss steel may last longer, but the coil costs 10+ times more, so where is the value?
In the line about Chinese crappy products, you will find me standing somewhere close to the front for sure. But this is for specific products, blanket statements are seldom universally true.
When it comes to vaping, I find a different story.
The e-cig originated in China, and maybe this gives them some pride in the development of their e-cig products, I don't know. What I do know is that I have - as have most of you - been vaping on Chinese-made equipment for more than a decade, and I have found very little to complain about.
My current mods were all made in China and have performed flawlessly for years, as are my RTA's and RDA's. All good products.
When I was living in Asia I vaped Chinese e-liquid. Pretty good in general. The most famous of all e-liquids, RY4, was designed and made there. Some of the largest - probably THE largest - e-liquid companies are there.
So when it comes to vaping products, gimme a break and let's tone down the superiority complex. Give credit where credit is due. We in the vaping community owe a lot of gratitude to the Chinese IMHO.
Handcrafted coils have their place in the market, and like any well-engineered handmade product will be considerably more expensive than their mass-produced counterpart. But denigrating Chinese made vaping products when 99% of the good quality vape products you use are made by them is poor form.
