Hmmmm... haven't tried that.
I was using 32g Kanthal and doing dual coils for a total around 2-3 ohm coils and a Tesla VV/VW mod. It worked out okay, but took a while to heat up.
I switched to 28g dual coils, 0.4 ohm total and put it on a mech... wicked with rayon... vapes like a champ! Uses a lot more juice set up like that, though.
I may have to try your cornstarch plug trick and run a single coil....

I ran into the same problem with my Aqua. Dual coils just took too long to heat up. I switched to a sleeper coil setup and it works much much better.
One piece of 28g kanthal with two separate coils wrapped on it, 1.5 ohm. Heats up as fast as a single coil but allows dual wicks.

That's a cool set-up! Looks nice too!
I'm running duals now, but at .4 on the mech, it gets a lot more power to the coils than the Tesla can provide...
The Tesla is great for carto-tanks and such, but rebuildables of any type are just too much hassle for me... 15W 3A limit is just to confining for me to build for...
