Read an article, it said the Single Coil requires longer heating time. and another article said building 4 coil in one atomizer is hard to get the coil fully heated. is it conflicted? or I misunderstand it?

No simple answer. A single coil will likely have higher resistance but not necessarily. it depends on wire gauge/size. Your atomizer configuration and most importantly what battery/mod you are suing and how much voltage and current it can supply.
ALWAYS be sure that your battery/mod can handle the current requirements of your coil configuration.
Failure to do so can be dangerous with risk of fire, burns and or even up to an exploding battery.

Depends entirely on the resistance of the coil(s).
I've only seen one build, ever, that had a practical quad-coil build in it (it was a 26650 Cerberus atty), and even then the dude who built it told me it was very finicky, and that he'd often be tightening post screws because a coil would stop firing. Your experience may vary, of course, but I'd stick to single and dual coils.

Depending on the resistance of the coils 4 coils will take a LOT of power to heat up. Again I say be sure that your mod can handle the power requirements of whatever coil/s you use with it.
As that is stated, it's not correct. Dual coil setups generally will tend to have slightly more heat up time than single coils, but it all depends on wire gauge, resistance and power applied (watts) and both can be designed to heat up just as fast or even faster than the other.
This doesn't actually say that it will take longer to heat up 4 coils, but that it's 'hard' to get the coils hot enough. With regard to heat up time, the same thing I said above for dual vs single coils applies here.
As far as 'hard to get the coil fully heated', which I read as 'hard to get the coil to vaping temperature', not if you have the power (watts) required to heat the 4 coils. You will almost always need more power to heat up 4 coils compared to 1 coil though.
Ive tried single double and triad coil builds and honestly if ur not doing cloud comp then definitely stick to single or double builds, i like my 24g kanthal with 8 wraps on 3mm bar single coil, 25.5w -8v, single coil build, great vape great cloud and flavor is intense
Offset quad vertical coils look sooo cool but damn are they finicky. Just getting all the leads through the posts is a pain. Single and dual coils are definitely the way to go.
I don't agree sideburns. AFAIK most cloud chasers use dual coil builds. I'm using a triple coil setup in an Onslaught RDA right now that's giving me really good flavor.
You should be at around 0.7 ohms with that setup. I think that will have noticeable coil heat up time at 25 watts and the mod output voltage will be closer to 4V, not 8V. I may certainly be missing something here, but it doesn't seem too good to me.
Hey, this is my first ECF post... Sorry, my English isn't perfect, I'm not a native speaker.
The heating time does not depend on resistance and it does not depend on the number of coils.
The heat up depends on the power applied (of course), the wire material and its mass. More power means faster heat up and more mass means slower heat up. Regarding the material of the wire, a larger specific heat capacity (a constant) also means slower heat up rates. Actually, specific heat capacities of typical wire materials used for vaping do not differ all that much. Therefore, the power applied and the mass (or volume) of the wire are the main properties responsible for heating time.
So, for a given power, the less wire is used in the build, the faster it will get hot.
