I really have been enjoying this tank, but noticed yesterday that the top coil seems to be dead, while the bottom one is still firing. Has anyone rebuilt one ?

Update: I tried rebuilding the head, but it was in my opinion difficult. The pin pushed out, and reveal a rubber grommet similar to the Vivi Nova (This part was easy enough). I tried five wraps of 34 gauge Kanthal for each coil (Seemed to match up better with the way it came; 32 gauge seemed to be much thicker than the wire present). However, fishing the wires from the top coil through from the coil that sits on bottom was difficult . After an hour of tinkering with this thing, I thought I had done it. However, my Provari said LO. I give up (For a while anyway). Hopefully someone will soon show a way to rebuild this thing easily(For kicks anyway). For now, I'll keep buying replacement heads on this tank.
I am curious if the coils are wired in parallel or serial. I.e. will one coil continue to work, if the other coil is truly burnt out?

I destoryed the top coil while cleaning a head, decided to put it on my PV and noticed the bottom coil did fire up. So parallel.
Does it still show the same impedance when one coil is burned out?
I bought 3 of these things. Opened and filled the 2nd one last night just to find out that it had a short in the atty out of the factory. Luckily I purchased a 5 pack of replacement heads when I ordered the tanks but the heads are like $3 a piece!
Ah D*mn. I was hoping to find some good tips here on rebuilding the coil. Mine shorted out after my first cleaning of the coil.
I have only one spare now. And purchasing another is a costly business right now, since they don't sell them in NL yet. Buying them from Germany add 10 Euros to the cost for shipping

Isn't that the error for TOO low of a resistance? I think 4 wraps with 32ga on a nova is around 2.3ohm. Wouldn't the two heads plus the resistance of the leads make it over 4.6 ohms? That is pretty darn low resistance. I haven't seen the coil myself, but I would think that you would have long leads with the iClear head, causing the resistance to drop. Have you tried using less coils? I'm just curious because I have plenty of cotton/32gau Kanthal and I'm very interested in the iClear after reading about it then watching my buddy vape one.
2 answer the question further up. They are in parallel. Each coil is 4 ohms. It might be possible to do a a single coil but haven't put anytime into playing with it since I'm still figuring out how to get the silicone cap to seal properly to the top cap stem.
This has yet to seal properly for me and causes vapor to come back into the fluid chamber. Thus making it the iDirty 30

Ok, so if I did that math correctly the resistance is 2ohms for the unit. Man you'd have to wind a fairly long coil in 32 kanthal to get 4ohms each haha.
I have been rebuilding me 16s and 30s with hemp and a 30g vertical coil.

cheaper than that at fastech with free shipping, they are the genuine inokin coils too
Has anyone ever successively rebuilt a dual coil on a clearomizer/glassomizer.
EVER!
EVER!
I rebuild my iclear 30 with a single coil after it shorted out. I used cotton and 28ga kathal, its taste way better and more vapor production. This was my second rebuild, with the protank 2 being my first rebuild.
