Are Handmade Coils Really Better?

I’ve been vaping for the past 10 years and I’ve seen a lot of incarnations of the industry but the last few years I’ve noticed a particular group of vapers making their own coils. I get the allure, manufactured coils are terrible and often burn out within a day or two, but is the taste and longevity of your home made coils actually better? Or is this just something they say to justify the work involved in making them at home?

Are they really better than manufactured coils?
