Popping my dual coil cherry

[Vapingmonkey]

Hi guys

So finally starting to get the hang of coils and wire gauges, after finding out that America use AWG for their wire thickness

Whenever I watched a youtube Vid I couldnt understand why they kept saying .20 was thicker than .32 and why it kepts coming out crap whe I built them lol

Anyway i'm thinking of venturing into dual coils and have a question, which might sound a bit silly

Example:

2 coils at 1.8 ohms each = 3.6 ohms output

Are you running a 1.8 ohm setup or are you running 3.6 ohms?
What I mean is would my Vamo register 3.6 ohms or 1.8 ohms, and if it was 3.6 ohms would it run at 3.6 ohms or would it run at 1.8 ohms

Or

do you halve the ohms of the coils to get your ohm rating

Example:

2 coils at 3.6ohms each = 1.8ohms output

(oh no i've gone cross eyed)

two coils at 1.8 would come out at 0.9 robin...or so is my understanding of it

but then again i cant coil for shit

robin

indeed when coiling you have to half each time. so single 3.2 coil would be 1.6. quad coil would be 0.8 ( and for arguments sake a triple coil would be around 1.3 ) so 2 coils at 1.8 ohms you are running at 0.9 ohms output ( which wouldnt work on your vamo! )

haha no prob...advice still stands

Ah so lowest I can go on my Vamo would be:

Dual 2.4 coils giving me 1.2 ohms per coil, and seeing as I am currently running a single 2.4 ohm coil, the battery should not be affected as it is the same ohms, the only plus is that there is more wick coverage giving more vapor

Is that right??

 

[clint]

Yep

Blinding, So now I gotta figure out how I can get dual coils in my RSST with one hole . . . . . . unless I use the refil hole and do horizontal coils?

ok next question

would it be right to assume that the 2 negative legs and the 2 positive legs can and in fact would be touching, and that the coils should not touch each other?

Perhaps rather than having the wick go through the coil have it sitting on a bed of cotton?

 

[clint]

Thats right. You could also put 2 coils round 1 wick.

negatives shouldnt touch, the positves go to a single post hole so thats fine, thats why you have 3 posts on a dual coil. 2 negatives and 1 positive post.
no idea what woul happen if you put two coils on same posts . may just act as one large coil or send ohms all over the place
