I stumbled across something when being a little frustated with trying to position 2 coils into a single post. I can’t be the first to do this, but I’m going to share anyhow. The particular rda I was using is the Hellvape Rebirth, but this could be done on any. First off, wrap your coils in different direction. One will be clockwise and the other will be ccw. Have both legs facing down, and then give one leg a quarter turn more. They will be at 6 and 9 or 6 and 3, whichever way you are looking at it. Now bend the leg that isn’t facing down back so it is facing down. This puts both legs on the same side. Do this with both coils and they will naturally face opposite of each other with the legs lining up nicely in the post holes. It will be easy to get them set into the post and very little adjusting once they are in. Like I said, I can’t imagine this is new territory, but I tried it and it made life a lot easier.

Some pictures might be a good idea to help one understand what you are describing.
I knew someone was gonna say this. Lol. I posted the day after I had built it. I’ll put pics up soon. I hoped the description would be enough, but I know pics help. I almost didn’t even post it at all thinking this just can’t be new information, but perhaps someone sees it and it helps.

From there, give a leg of each coil a 1/4 turn more until you this. You’ll bend a leg down so that both legs are straight down on the same side. I just use the pliers with a light touch so as not to mash up the coil.

And you end up with this. In the pic where they are in the deck, nothing is tightened down or been moved at all. That’s just them dropped in. Tighten down and do whatever little positioning is left. If you’ve built on decks like this, you know it’s a bit of a pain. This makes it pretty easy.
