I guess its like the same reason people still make furniture by hand instead of using a CNC mill .... its the joy of doing it... 
Not to mention, its way better furniture!I guess its like the same reason people still make furniture by hand instead of using a CNC mill .... its the joy of doing it...
With all due respect to the OP who, like everyone else, has a right to his opinion, I find such threads rather pointless. It is like saying : shouldn't home cooking be dead now that there are so many good restaurants. Pointless.
I like all the choices that are available now-a-days. I am sooooooooooo glad I do not have to rebuild anything. If I got more flavor than I already get I'd have to quit using flavorings at all.
1 DIY juice I make uses .12% flavoring. YMMV P.S. I love all these threads where someone thinks others need to go only with their gear preference.
My idea is in my signature

Not really....those of us who build our own coils need a place we can tell everyone how much better our setups are!
I see a common theme, comparing clouds, which is part of the issue. Take that away and compare raw flavor.
Some of the best flavor devices ever actually fall behind in the size of the clouds quite easily.
In most cases, while smaller in cloud size, i found many are actually denser, thicker and richer for texture and taste. The fact they do not put out massive "looking" clouds has taken them out of popularity with many new vapors, and thats everyones choice. But for pure flavor many of them cant be beat.

HMM how about an auto squonker. A temp controlled squonker with a little pump for juice. If the temp control senses protect then it auto squonks some juice? A little solenoid plunger type of pump would work well and be tiny.
When they make a tank that produces the kind of flavor and Vapor that my rdas do on a REO, let me know.
Yes, including the Starr and Herakles....those do absolutely nothing for me. Not even in the same zip code as a properly built rda. The vape from those tanks is "completely average" at best.
As are the overwhelming majority of coil builders. Including most here among those who think they are elite uber-drippers.
I find loads of people at vape meets who like to talk about how amazingly great their builds are and how awesome the flavor is. I can count on one hand the number of them that have actually been able to deliver on their claims when I tried their builds myself. People often have overinflated critiques of their own abilities, and in my experience the "I did this myself" factor often magically makes juices taste better. (Both in coil builds and DIY juice mixing) Hand the exact same atty to someone else and they aren't nearly as impressed.
Who knows, maybe you can really deliver on your claims. But you're in a very tiny minority if you can.
Believe it or not, there was once a mod that auto-fed an atomizer/cartomizer electronically called the Eclipse EQ. Still before my time, I wanna say late 2010 or early 2011. I definitely remember reading about it and seeing pictures when I first started googling e-cigs. It was long gong by then...
Don't know why it failed. I think a lawsuit, or only a few got made and the company just disappeared. Maybe the price was just way too high for the times and market? Who knows?
Yeah, like, why would anyone nowadays ever use a manual transmission when they could drive an automatic? Control is a big reason why. Better fuel economy too. haha

Ahh that was back in primitive times for ecigs. With the current temp control chips it can work well now.
Hahahahaaa.....uber elite drippers. Ok, if you say so. I have no problem at all with tanks. I own many. They're handy. If you want a tank that will compete with a dripper, get a Genesis. I like tanks and the ones you can buy a box of coils for are great and easy. They've come a very long way.
Based on some of your past posts, and now this one....you struggle with building. It's not for everyone. Why not just say you like tanks instead of your tanks are as good as any rda build? That's just wrong and it makes you sound a little bitter.
hahaha nice1Not really....those of us who build our own coils need a place we can tell everyone how much better our setups are!
a dripper just looks better on anything compared to a tank but that is of course completely subjective
As are the majority of pre-built coils. Average. But let's remember that if a dripper (or rebuilder of any sorts) makes an average coil and it doesn't cut the mustard, what is lost? A few inches of kanthal and cotton? 10 minutes? For solely non-rebuildable tank users, you are actually losing money if it ain't a good coil. At least with being a builder, on the same doggone spool of kanthal (equal to the price of two shoddy pre-built coils), he/she can go from below average builds to above average. No need to go out re-shopping for a better version of what you already paid for. Just do a better job. There is sheer glory in doing it yourself and not having to wait on that next shipment hopefully-good coils.
And no offense, but I have to wonder what vape shops/meets you've gone to (or what people you're connecting with) if you can't find but a handful of coil builders that can "deliver on [their] claims." I am a pretty good builder and I do in fact build to my tastes. And I got no complaints! But at vape meets/vape shops, I am often simply blown away at other builders' prowess with regard to vapor AND flavor. That's why I became a builder. I was impressed. I wanted to do that. Now I do. And my claims only need to deliver to me.
