Are single coils heads being discontinued? On purpose?

[p.opus]

People laughed at me when I suggested to new vapers to hold onto their spent coil heads in case they ever decided to rebuild or the manufacturer stopped making the model.

The thing is I am not sure this is going to accomplish what the companies are trying to do. I can see people who rebuild protank heads moving on to actual rba and RBD devices rather than going back to disposable vaping.

It's funny you should say that. Ironically I have been collecting coils faster than I use them. I bought 2 mini protanks, so I had 4 heads, bought 3 5-packs of replacement heads...now 19. Then retired the mini protanks to backup and purchased 3 mini protanks and had 25 heads. Long story short, I have 24 heads as spares.

Just last week, I threw away one, and then had second thoughts. I took it out of the trash, boiled it in water for 15 minutes and put it aside.

I have Kanthal and wick coming on Monday. I'm a little nervous about what the FDA must do so I'm turning into a bit of a doomsday prepper when it comes to my vape gear.

I'm going to try to recoil a head next week to see if I can do it. If that is successful, my next step is to purchase a high quality mod with replaceable batteries, like a provari, so that if the FDA limits e-cig batteries, I'll have a mod that uses an actual standard LiIon battery that they can't regulate since they are used in other applications.

Now to learn how to mix my own e-juice. I'm already cutting back to zero nic juice to save myself from the tobacco user surcharge with my insurance company and I figure PG, VG and flavorings should be pretty easy to buy since they have other uses outside of the vaping industry.

I refuse to be at the mercy of Big Tobacco and their proprietary systems to get my vape on.....

It kind of feels like the marketing for razors (the shaving kind). For years they all had one blade, then 2...I've long given up on what is the newest now: 5, 6, 21? People who sell stuff will always want you to buy more stuff.

Simple solution, don't buy dual coil clearos. The slump in sales will force them back to single coil. Better yet, quit using clearos. Even back when Vision first came out with the CE4, they always had a new version in the works before they released the current version.
