I was building my Avocado rta today and for my second coil, I noticed that I must’ve wrapped it backwards as the upper leg went in the lower slot (the other coil had the top leg going in the top slot and bottom in the bottom). The tank reads on the ohm meter just fine. I am just wondering if I should re-wrap the coil so that the legs line up with the slots or if it’s fine as is? I hope this question makes sense. Thanks in advance!

Do the coils heat up evenly?
Do the coils read about what you expected them to?
Does your OCD really get to you at times?

If you answered yes to the 1st two, you're good.
If you answered yes to the 3rd, sorry, can't help ya! ;)

it doesn't matter because it has velocity style pos/neg posts as long as you have one leg in each post that's all you need.

what really? How should it work that way
As long as each coil has one leg attached to the positive post (a Velocity style deck has an upper and a lower hole for each terminal), and one leg attached to the negative post it will work fine even if it doesn't look symmetrical.

just turn the coil inside-out.

So this atomizer has an upper and a lower hole on each post, right? So if you wrap one coil backwards, you'd have two holes with two leads, and two holes with no leads. It becomes good practice for the day that you get an atomizer with only one hole on each post. Those can test your patience for sure.

Yup :cool:

Or, like with my Aqua V2, you would have two posts with two sets of holes, dual coils, but only one screw on each post. It feels a little wierd when you first start working with it, but once you get to know it it's pretty easy and the vape is superb.

Whatever works ... :thumb:
