Dual Coil Blues

[jimivapr]

I recently bought a protank 3 and an aspire dual core. In my humble opinion, they both suck. Do people believe dual coil clearos add any value? Or are they a scam? This industry really has MUCH junk for sale!

Plenty of people like both of those so it must be something other than dual coils or brand.

Plenty of people here lovingly support 'clones' (also known as patent infringement), doesn't mean this forum isn't filled with dry/burnt taste stories that they inevitably cause. I just wonder what it me be that people find better about them than a good old evod. Are they better? If so, why does it seem to me they are not?

IMHO, bottom feeders have enough inherent problems without inviting more with dual coils. That being said, my PT2's perform great, especially with properly rebuilt coils, properly wicked. I am interested in the Nautilus tank, now that I have seen a coil rebuilt for it but I am somewhat apprehensive. Given how a BCC works, there is a fine line to walk to assure consistent good performance. I will wait it out and keep a close eye on these boards before I spend that kind of $$$ on a BDC clearo.

The theory behind duals coil makes sense : V8 engine in a car delivers way more oomph than you run-of-the mill 4 cylinder. It also guzzles way more juice .

Double set-up also has potential for double trouble. Poor design and shoddy assembly will negate all the performance increases. A well-made and carefully pimped 4 cylinder can easily outperform some haphazarly slopped-together V8 ...

Same with coils. If you get to the 'sweet spot' (i.e. where liquid viscosity, wicking speed, air flow, coil temp and coil surface are balanced) you will get amazing results even from low-end clones. It's for a good reason that many vapers chuck out the factory set and tweak it to their own.

Take something and tinker around with it to improve it. Vaping community has been - and continues to be - exceptionally good at that.

And that feedback drives the manufacturers too.... kinks and bugs encountered by the vapers get ironed out in the follow-on model...
which one hand means that manufacturers often put stuff on the market before its really been tested thoroughly ( Well, nothing new there - any window release needs and average of 3 service packs, 60 updates and 400 bugfixes to become moderately stable ).
One the other hand the manufacturers do listen, which is of course in their best - economical - interest. With forums like these, word spreads fast about the good, the bad, and the ugly ...

And the 'spread' in mass produced items is of course enourmous: I remember me ole ego-t at the beginning, some attys lasted for months, others quit after barely a week...

Could well be that u unlucked out on the 'spread'....
