Dual coil clearomizers

[calvinguy]

I went ahead and ordered myself an aspire bdc. I don't know too much about dual coil devices. Do they require more power to get a good level of performance? Is an APV recommended?

What does increasing the voltage/wattage do anyways? Does it increase the temperature of the vape, the taste, and the amount of vapor?

Hope someone will chime in- great questions!!!

Dual coils do required more power, lower temp, more throat or lung hit, and more vapor.

Dual coils lower the total resistance. Each of the coils should read 3 ohms. In paralles, the have a total resistance of 1.5 ohms. If it is a 1.5ohm dual coil, it is 1.5ohms, same as a 1.5 ohm single coil. You have more surface area in the dual coil, so it will theoretically produce more vapor and flavor, but I have not personally found that to be the case with the Smoktech dual coil cartomizers. I prefer the Boge single coil. YMMV. I also find that they drained my battery faster but that may be my impression. Good luck and have fun!

I would recommend an APV because dual coils pull twice the amperage and an ego type battery won't handle it well. This will result in lower performance and shorter charge life and lifespan.

Higher wattage gets you a warmer, thicker vapor so long as you aren't burning your juice. Higher wattage can be achieved by increasing the voltage or lowering the resistance of the coil.
