Dual Coil touching?

[Caterpiller]

Really quick question.

I've been building dual coils on a Derringer RDA, plenty of room, no problems.

Thinking of building a dual on the KFv4.

Less room.

Does it matter if the coils are touching?

Does it matter if a leg from one coil touches the other coil body on it's way past?

Does it matter if the legs from two coils are touching each other?

when the coils or wire from the coils touch anything metal it's called a short or termination point...... The terminal point should be the posts. The only metal the coils should EVER touch is the wick if the wick is metal.

Yeh, I understand the coils or coil legs would short if touching the deck or the casing, just not sure if they will short against each other?

There's not a lot of room, and I thought I'd seen pics of other people sending both positive legs to the same post. In that case I wondered if it was okay for the legs to tough a few millimetres before the post, or a leg from one coil to brush against another coil on the way to a post?

The legs of the coils can touch each other, but only the legs and only right where they enter the post. many people twst the legs of dual coils at the post.

Thank you @93gc40

This is exactly the information I was looking for.
