Anyone experience this with a patriot?

[Dominick0311]

I've built 3 coils on my patriot,
First, dual 28g micro coil
The next two were both duals of twisted 28g micros.
Each build, a coil on one side ends up burning less, or vaporizing juice slower than the other. I tried everything, thought maybe my legs on one coil were a little longer, nope. Maybe the other coil wasn't as tight as the other, nope. Thought maybe one coil was twisted more than the other this changing the resistance, so I rebuilt. And it's the same thing. Do you guys have any ideas as to what may be the case? Anyone notice the same thing with their patriot? It's not all that bad, but I want each coil perfect, i can't stand not being satisfied with one lolq

Actually, yes, I have experienced this a few times. In fact the coil setup I am running right now does it. My first setup was perfect though.

I would say when you build the coils, need to make sure they are exactly the same, which is pretty difficult to do. Then when attaching, leave the extra wire on before breaking/cutting it off, lift them and ensure they are not touching anything, test fire without wick (I usually fire and use tweezers to compress the coils anyways), and check for even firing. If one is firing cooler then the other, check connection, and/or adjust the leg length to get them to fire the same. I believe it is the center connection most likely.

Otherwise, just vape it the way it is. Even with mine firing uneven, my current build is .9 to 1Ω and it vapes fine for me, just one side dries out a little faster then the other

I've experienced this with most dual coil RDAs. You can minimize it by starting with two pieces of kanthal cut to the same length. I also use two drill bits and wrap the at the same time and try to have the same leg lengths. If you have multimeter you can measure resistance before inserting the coils.

I appreciate the responses, unfortunately I have done all of these things. Like I said I wrap micro coils, and use a homemade jig so my coils are easily repeatable. Next factor I considered was the legs, but no matter the amount of tweaking it didn't do anything. It's really unfortunate. I've given up and now just vape it like it is, one side drying out a little quicker than the other, it's not bad, but it just means one coil is putting out more than the other, so I'm not getting the most optimal performance out of my build.
