Cannot understand the concept of dual coil.

[Dan011z]

Hello, good morning everyone.
I currently run Petri Atty with a Snow Wolf 200w.

Local vape shop built me a dual micro coil build which reads 0.49 ohms on my Snow Wolf.
Does this mean they used two 1.0 ohm coils to net out 0.49 ohms?

Or have they used two 0.5 ohms? If they used two 0.5 ohms, shouldn't it read 0.25 ohm ish on my Snow Wolf?

Thanks in advance.
I am just really confused.

Yes, two coils would halve the resistance. So to get the .49 reading they would have used two 1 ohm coils.

A 1 ohm microcoil ? 30awg wire might do it.

I think you mean contact coil. A microcoil is s coil with a ID between 1.5-1.9mm spaced or contact.

Yes, two 1.0 ohm coils will make an overall resistance of 0.5 ohms. The mod and battery can't tell how many coils there are, it only sees the overall resistance.

Alrighty, I finally get it now.
Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate it.

Awesome link with lots of helpful info! Dumbs it down for newbs like me.

if the coils are set up in a parallel manner.... 2 1 ohm coils will give a net resistance of .5 ohms... if those same 2 coils are put in series, they will give a net resistance of 2 ohms.... so if you think about it, a coil with 7 wraps is in all actuality 7 single wrap coils in series...
