bad pack of coils?

seems strange but this last pack of coils I bought for my TFV4 micro are just poor. half of them aren't fully packed with cotton so there is visble gaps/pockets where the cotton isn't really in contact with the wires. Anyways they're shitting the bed too soon. Not from gunk and use but they're getting "burnt out" and hitting harshly I have had to swap at least two or three of the five wayyy before their time. It's annoying and a bit of a rip off. Is it possible I just got a bad pack or is smok's manufacturing standards dropped? I may have had the same problem with other packs in the past.

First question... where did you buy them?

it's not uncommon to have a bad coil but the whole pack has the said issues.

Do they guarantee no clones?

Well then I guess my first step would be to contact the shop... see if they are getting a lot of returns or reports of these coils being bad. If they won't make right on it maybe you could try to contact Smok.

I'm the type to let things slide..I have a 2nd pack that I bought along with these. If they suck too I'll definitely contact the shop. Good thinking.

Yes, Steve is right.
You need to Check the authenticity code with smok's website.
Sometimes these clone coils look so close to the legit ones that even the shop owners get burned.
There have been major large vendors who have gotten burned with clone coils and fake batteries before so it can very easily happen to the best of them.
