Dual coils vs single coils

I would be curious to hear others on this. I don't know much still kinda new but from my experience with dual coils is its more for the sub ohmers(you half your resistance with dual coils) so you basically will get a warmer more in your face vape that personally can overwhelm me pretty quick.

I am new, but what I gather is the positive is better taste but your firing two coils. = use more juice, drain batterys faster.
I started with .7 28ga single coils built on a 5/64 then went to a .5 dual 28 on the 5/64. Went back to the single
Now im using a .59 24ga single coil on a 5/64 and its awesome. Im happy with singles and personally find no benefit of a dual (for me)
my brother and friends like dual coils

Bought a couple of Nautilus tanks last week (Dual coil atomizers). Was very disappointed. After all the whoopla about them I expected a new high in vaping. Crap, I have single coil Protanks and Puritanks that vape rings around the mighty Nautilus and use a third less power doing it.
SIL wants one so now she'll get two.

dual coils in the pre-built coils is nothing totally different then Rebuildable dual coils.... but I am a single coil guy personally

Dual coils look SO COOL.
Nah, but really. As others have said dual coils tend to go through juice faster. It's more of a matter of preference really. I feel like a dual coil also hits harder.

it hits harder it you have the mech with a full battery charge or DNA device to put the wattage to it but yeah it hits harder because it's lower ohm.... so you push more power to it to get it going... high powered vaping

Pretty spot on. I was so unimpressed by stock coils going through them twice as fast never seemed worth trying. Dual coils chucks out more vapor but not worth the effort in building or battery loss. If you're looking at a RBA I say go for dual. You can always choose to just use a single coil if you dislike the dual.
Dual coils....more surface area applied to the liquid soaked wick.....more liquid vaporised...denser, and many say, more flavorful vape.
You can get plenty of vapor and flavor from single coils. Unless you really enjoy tons of vapor and sub ohming stick with single coils... basically if you enjoy a kayfun type of vape I would go for single coils in your drippers if you crave more vapor and want to go cloud chasing give dual coils the go

I definitely run single coils in my Kayfuns....I also use single in my drippers. But...I run duals in my drippers too. Believe me...I know you can build a great single coil .....but you can also run a great dual coil and the experience is different. I am not going to say its better but it is very different when built correctly. There is an impact on the flavor profile that is significant.
When I was vaping clearos there were no dual coil models to chose from. When I was vaping cartos, there were dual coil cartos but I just didn't like the idea of trying to keep two coils in that device properly wet with juice. Either way, with regulated PVs and mods you need enough power to make both coils work well.
Now that I vape almost exclusively rebuildables on mechanical mods I use dual coils 90% of the time. I find the vape at higher power better with dual setups and like the fact that the power is split between two coils for a little added safety margin.
But that's just me. YMMV as always.

what ohm do you usually dial in at on your drippers?

If you have a vv/vw type battery with a good capacity, the duals are always better. Much higher wattage while putting less strain on each coil. The aspire 2.1ohm bdcs for instance are rated for 6v. I currently use the 1.8ohm aspire bdcs at 4.5v on my spinner 1300mah, would go to the 5v max rated, but my battery drains too fast. Hence why I'm going for mod with a 3100mah 18650 now.... I also find better flavor and hit with the duals. I'll never go back to singles!
Do not make blanket statements like that. Especially if your experience is limited to rebuilding Aspire coils. It just isn't true if your talking about RDA/RTA builds and high end mods.
That is 30 gauge Kanthal, twisted wire, in a 1.4ohm chimney coil build. That works FANTASTIC at 19.5 watts and rivals most dual coil RDA builds that I have tried for both flavor and vapor production. It's not even worth comparing it to any Aspire build, I can take mouth to lung hits that look like straight lung hits when I exhale, and the flavor is amazing. I usually change flavors 2-3 times a day, but when I first built that coil and got it working properly I spent the next 2 and a half days vaping Custard's Last Stand because it was just that good.
But something like that isn't even worth trying unless you've got a regulated mod that does at LEAST 20 watts. It takes a lot of power to get that much metal hot.

Just for kicks, and its been a while, I just built a single coil on my atomic. Its a 28 ga, parallel coil build at .65 ohms. Frankly, its amazing how it is producing. Its also huge....7 wraps.....which is 14 wire diameters wide. Big...fun...dense vapor. BTW....running it at 29 watts. My Kayfun has a single coil at 1.2 ohms that I run at 17 to 19 watts.

You guys are so wayyyyyyyyy over my head. I simply vape to quit smoking. Tired of all the leaks and crap, I invested in a Provari) and boy do I mean invested!!! Anyway, I bought one along with a Nautilus tank. I am so ignorant to all the stuff you guys talk about. Anyway, I like it except its too frkn big!
