Hey guys I'm wanting to try a dual coil setup on either my IGO or rda. How do I do this? Not home to physically try it myself but in my head im thinking just prepare 2 coil/wick and attach both in the pos and neg post? Im pretty sure its not that easy. Also since it will be running on dual coil does that mean I need to wire both at a higher res and theyll be split in half? (2x 3.0 ohm coil which will be running at 1.5ohm?) Or is it (2x 0.7ohm coils which add up to 1.5ohm?) Someone enlighten me with some info so I know what im getting into when I go home. Thanks in advanced

You would be wiring in parallel, so your resistance would halve (2 x 3.0 ohm coils would be 1.5 ohm).
Be prepared to crank the voltage. It will take more voltage even at a lower final resistance since you have two coils to power. I don't see there being enough room in the RDA to pull off dual coil/dual wick, would be a tight squeeze. Just make sure they don't touch each other.
I tried dual coil/single wick in my RDA, and it was ok. Ultimately a single coil low resistance seemed to work better. I also tried dual coil, dual wick in my AGA-T+, but had to crank up the voltage on my Vamo to get it to perform. It was a juice and power hog, made big clouds of vapor, but it was merely something to play with. I don't see how anyone could vape on a setup like that all day. It was just too much. 0.9 ohm with 28 gauge on my K100 mechanical seems to outperform it. Matter of fact, this setup seems to outperform any VV/VW config I came up with between the Vamo and eVic using the AGA-T+.

Alright awesome. Thats what I needed to know. And yes I know its probably not practical to use this as an everyday vape but im bored and want to play around with it while learning something new.
So I would have to put them on both sides so they dont touch each other? And jus wire em up on their respective posts?

Yeah you could do something like that. Just make sure positive goes to positive and negative goes to negative. Don't daisy chain them, that would be series which would add the resistances.
You're just going to have to play with it. You could do dual coil, single wick, which basically you take two pieces of wire, twist the ends, leave the middle of the wire parallel to each other but not touching, and then wrap it around your wick making sure the coils don't touch. I've seen this done on the Terminator/Odysseus before, and they liked it. On the RDA, it wasn't all that great IMO, and was a real PITA to achieve. Or you could use like some 34 or 36 gauge and wrap two tiny individual coils on the same wick. This is kind of how they do it on DC cartos, but they've got more length to play with (lol that's what she said).

Sorry to ask, but could you possible explain a little deeper or more specific on the dual coil/single wick setup. I'd love to try that
Here's a video where they do it on an Odysseus

Here's a picture of a dual coil setup done by a friend for me. I was able to replicate it when I rebuilt mine. My problem now is that one of the coils light up faster than the other one. Any solutions?

Wires have to be exact same length. Current will favor shortest wire (less "resistance")
Also, you need to drill a second hole in the top cap for duals, that second coil needs air.
That makes sense. I'll try that when I rebuild this thing. Thanks.
I'll let you guys know the result.

Also might be a good idea to change out those screws, unless I'm seeing something different than rust.
