Does anyone know about building coils in series instead of in parallel? Or is that something people don't really do?
Coil Build in Series

I've done it but depending on your target resistance It will not work well with some builds unless you are rocking a VV
Yeah, the setup I have is a VV battery with a 1.2 ohm resistance with a dual post atomizer with 28 awg wire with a 5/64th id. I want to run double coils for better wicking/less frequent fills, but the parallel builds have too low a resistance or too many coils. I'm still new to RBA's, so I might be talking out my .... *shrug*
Running coils in series is easy the diamond coil technically is a quad coil in series with a single strand of kanthal.
That kind a build in IMO is going to be the only practical way to run these coils in a series with.
BTW I made a 3ohm diamond coil, and with 12w from a vamoV5 it was a great vape and my mod lasted for ever

Serial coils should be good for VV/VW devices that are able to push high voltages. I haven't experimented much with it myself, but I feel that I should. 
In theory the reduced current should give you less power loss in the coil legs, and in the "no-res" coil posts, and the points of contact between post and coil. This should in turn give you an atty that is more resistant to becoming hot, cooking your juice.
If the regulating circuit is as effective or more effective at high voltages than at low voltages, it should also lead to better battery life. But that is a pretty big "if", and naturally depends on the design of the particular circuit in question.

funny enough i have a diamond coil on at the moment, 22g gplat 12wrap on 2mm id 0.2Ω, rayon wick, its been a while since i made one, they do vape very nice
Oh wow that's some serious low resistance wire! 12wraps and the bends and its still that low!funny enough i have a diamond coil on at the moment, 22g gplat 12wrap on 2mm id 0.2Ω, rayon wick, its been a while since i made one, they do vape very nice
Bet it has some serious flavor
If you built them in series wouldn't you be splitting the voltage? I know in electronics if you have two equal resistors with a 12 Vdc power supply you will have 6 Vdc across each resistor.
