China's one child policy failed, enter the Corona virus.
November 2013

In November 2013, following the Third Plenum of the 18th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, China announced the decision to relax the one-child policy. Under the new policy, families could have two children if one parent, rather than both parents, was an only child.

I’m sure one can get sick licking door knobs but we’ve built an immune for many of these germs. That said, the Novel Coronavirus is a virus and a new one with first recorded human infection being this past December. SARS is also a forum of Coronavirus and one (according to Wiki) that has a higher infection rate than the flu. Researchers estimate the Novel Coronavirus has an equivalent infection rate to SARS.

1 employee going to work infected by SARS or the Novel can wipe out a small company. Business may evaluate risk, and or implement a disaster prevention plan which can include shutting down operation until the risk has been reduced. OR...in this case, the Chinese government has implemented a quarantine.
For that matter, the common cold is a corona virus. We still haven't cured that either. This new one, well, it wont be cured either. It's just a test to see how fast it will spread around the world. When they genetically engineer it to be REALLY lethal, that's when the real problem starts. This is my conspiracy theory which ends with "miracle " vaccine that will be mandatory for all humans that actually contains a microchip to mark everyone in the world and if you refuse the vaccine you will be put in mandatory quarantine forever until you starve to death because they wont feed you or worse, they infect you with the virus. I've been watching too many science fiction vids apparently. We're all gonna die and it's the end of the world as we know it.

I just got off my ladder, but it’s your to climb up and buy!
Well, I counted and I have 35 Atomizers.
Each Atomizer lasts roughly about a Week and a half.
The last thing I want to do is hoard because I know how it feels to need stuff and find that it is Sold Out everywhere, especially when it comes to Vape stuffs because it is such a Niche market :(
Hopefully what I've got lasts long enough where I can see what will be what later on down the line :unsure:
If things really get desperate, I do have a couple new Tanks (with an extra Atomizer) I've never used that came with Mods that I bought as well as another Nautilus Kit (which also has an extra Atomizer).
I don't want to be the Person out there doing the Vape Version of the Toilet Paper Frenzy :(
I can't believe that I'm so anxious about this.
This is crazy.

In recent days I decided to go to the movies again. Saw 1917. Beautiful cinematography but no Saving Private Ryan. Didn't vape (although I love to at the movies) and not surprisingly had no urge to smoke. I haven't since I picked up my first blu almost seven years ago. No one coughed, and I've had no compulsion since. The market tanked again today as lower oil prices must signal the end of the world some would have us believe. But the only scarcity I see is in the sense of those who create it.

Good luck. :)

Are you only stocking clearomizers (tanks that only take factory coils)?

Yes, I currently (have been since it came out) use a Nautilus and Nautilus Mini.
I have an RBA and know how to build Coils but I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis along with Carpal Tunnel which makes Fine Work very difficult :(

In that case, you may be better served buying coil heads for the tanks you have.

Practice may help extend the functionality of both winds and digits.

nothing wrong with factory drop in coils.
i have enow for 500 weeks.
i refuse to deal with wire n cotton.
not everyone wants to mess with building coils.

I agree. Rebuilding is optional when coils are in stock and available.

Factory coils are great when the supply is plentiful. As a hedge against faltering China shipments I'd keep an RBA, a roll of 28ga wire, and some Sally's cellucotton around for backup.

I spend about 20 minutes a week recoiling rebuildable atomizers. If you buy the bags of 100 prewound coils it's just a matter of replacement. Two screws get loosened and the coil tightened in place. Slide in a little cotton, trim it, add a few drops of juice to prime the wick, and all is good. If you don't enjoy recoiling, it's still a safety net against faltering China shipments and the Deeming situation.

And it's SO much cheaper than drop-ins! :D

From what I've seen, your options are very limited if you want pre-wound coils that are just plain old round wire coils. Most sold on USA sites anymore seem to be "specialty" coils, like clapton coils and such.

Realize that you still have to mount and wick the coil in your RTA/RDA/RBA. So basically you still have to do 2/3rds the work.

Here's a list of links to plain old round wire coils on FT...

EDIT: But realize ordering from china could take a while to receive the product due to the corona virus.

$0.95 Authentic MKWS N80 Pre-Coiled Resistance Wire for RBA Atomizers (10-Pack) 10-pack - 28 AWG / 0.32mm dia. / 1.4ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

$6.12 MKWS Kanthal A1 Pre-Coiled Wire (200-Pack) - 26 AWG / 0.4mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

$0.95 Authentic MKWS N80 Pre-Coiled Resistance Wire for RBA Atomizers (10-Pack) 10-pack - 26 AWG / 0.4mm dia. / 1ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Here are 2 search links to find others in other resistances. The above are what I bookmarked but their may be others...

Fasttech - 100 packs of pre-coiled wires 100 at FastTech - Free Shipping to major countries

Fasttech - pre-coiled wires at FastTech - Free Shipping to major countries

As someone who has trouble doing tedious tasks, you may find that RTAs, RDAs and RBA's with the following "goal post" design may be easier for you to trap your wire legs as posed to trying to thread the legs into holes or keep the leg under a small screw head without the "goal posts". Lots of MTL rebuildables use this trapping design, but not all (in fact, most don't)...
