Standard coils aren't obsolete. They're still the workhorse for a big chunk of vapers, especially beginners and budget-conscious folks. If a customer is picking up their first device, a standard coil is easier to prime and more forgiving if they forget to wait after filling. That's worth a lot in the first few weeks.

Mesh coils earn their place when customers care about flavor. The wire mesh heats more evenly, which means you get consistent vapor and less of that burnt taste when you chain-vape. If someone's using a flavor-focused device like the AURA or VERTEX-25K, mesh is often the better recommendation.

So both types belong on your shelf. The trick is knowing who to point at which one.
