This is awesome. It is exactly what I needed to calm my fears and to educate me as I move into mech mods. I can not thank you enough for this.
Thanks ya'll. I hope that one is easier to sit thru than my first attempt last thanksgiving 
I was also shooting for more comprehensive but shorter

Super x it was perfect for me. Being a total newb to rebuilding I was able to understand everything you said. It calmed a lot of my fears. So thank you again.Thanks ya'll. I hope that one is easier to sit thru than my first attempt last thanksgiving

Nobody was born rebuilding coils, but if you have the patience, the ability to learn some simple stuff and an easy to follow method, it's a piece of piss.
Naturally, i have all those things but lack purple eyeshadow.
Any SXD video under 28 minutes would attract attention

One question I've always had but felt stupid asking is, are the amps the same between a 1ohm coil and a dual 2ohm coil that equals 1ohm?
Just the other day I tried a quad coil just cause I thought of it.. was quad 4ohm coils (came out to 1ohm). Was really crappy and took way too long to heat up. Can't remember if I used 26 or 28 gage wire.
Anyways I had a concern if that would be putting a large strain on my aw 2200mah 20 amp battery.

yes.
Your battery sees only a load and cares none if it's a single coil at 3 Ω or 20 coils in series that add up to that, or anything else.

If total resistance is the same, then amp draw is the same doesn't matter if it's single coil, dual, quad or whatever.
With a single coil, all the power is coming from that one coil, lots of vapor. With that quad coil, you're splitting the amp draw into 4 coils which probably isn't enough to produce very much vapor.
Now make dual 1 ohm coils, cutting your total resistance in half. That will give twice the power of a single 1 ohm coil(minus increased voltage drop), you'll get lots more vapor and flavor then.

The amp draw will be the same, for a given resistance, regardless how many coils there are. However, the heat up time will vary, depending on the gauge wire you use. Generally, at the same resistance, the lower the gauge (thicker the wire), the slower will be the heat up time.
I loved this video. I wish I had seen it from the start of using the Reo. Super_X...if you have that written stuff in a file, could you send it to me? I'd like to print it off, and save it. My memory isn't so hot. I don't usually vape below 1.2 ohms, but I may wander down a little below 1 ohm in the future.
It's fair to say SXD used to never go below 1Ω for the longest time, so if you look at some of the earlier Odin videos before he went with dual coils, you'll get the idea.
i'll be very blunt about these things - if you use very low Ohm coils (and i do - i like them) you had better be bloody sure you know your batteries and battery safety well.
or 100m in 9.8s.

Good video, Russ. OT: did I notice a little snow on your whiskers...? Maybe it was powdered sugar....... 
No such thing as a stupid question when it comes to battery safety especially, or anything else really. And.....you can bet that someone else will usually benefit from the answer too. That's why I encourage folks, if you ask something then find the answer. Add the answer to the post but leave the question up. Don't delete it.
