I recently built a dual coil on my igo-l the ohm reading is 1.5 and it worked really good. Today i noticed that i wasnt getting as much flavor or vapor. I took out the cotton and dry burned it. I realized that one of the coils barely lights up. The other coil lights up fast and glows red (inside to out) and when its fully glowing the other one starts to glow. The bad coil takes a while to heat up. Please help me :)

Try screwing down the screw in the negative post of the coil that you are having the problem with.
Thank you so much that fixed the problem insanely, the screw had 2 full rotations before it was fully tightened down and the lead was barely making any contact with the post. Thanks a bunch :) also it lowered my ohms from 1.7 to 1.3 is that bad? Thanks again for the solution :)

If it helps at all- if you are using a mech, even a 14500 can handle 1.3 Ohms - you are only at 3.23 amps :)

(voltage (4.2 for mech) divided by ohms=amps so 4.2/1.3=3.23 amps )
Im using a vamo v5 right now but thanks ill remember this when i buy a mech soon :) Thanks again
