Asymmetric dual coils?

[Johntodd]

Is there any point to making your dual-coil builds different from one another?

Say a 0.9 ohm coil and a 2.0 ohm coil in the same dripper running at the same time?

I would think one would get more complexity in the flavor due to different heat flux on each coil. I know the box below it would combine the total ohmage and simply fire one amount of electricity, but each coil would respond differently.

I tried the search and found zero topics about this.

Your thoughts?

I would think it would matter if you were dripping, one side would get dry way faster. In an rta I do not know how it would perform.

the coils must be the same OHM rate.. Or the one running the lowest rate will get ALL the volts. They can be of differing gauges, but all coils in a multi coil setup must be of the same resistance.

Would work the same in a Tank, in theory, since the only true difference is the amount of available juice.

Hmmm ... same ohms, different gauges? They would respond differently.

I'm just now getting boxes that can run dual coils. I may try this silly stuff some day soon.

Is there a safety issue here?

you could if your ohms don't vary that much and should work as you wish, but if the difference is too much then by the time the higher one begins to heat the lower one will be burning your wick

Yeah I would not go to far apart in the gauges, maybe 1 or 2 steps. Say 28 with 29 or30. Or a 29 with a twisted 32 coil, ect. Basically you'd target the heat fluxes to ballance out to the heat flux you normally vape..

Sounds good.

What I'm gonna do is master the plain dual-coil builds first (got to learn the fundamentals!) then branch out and try asymmetric builds. It'll be a while.

Thanks!
