Funny you said that cause i made more twisted wire and its twice as tight as the first batch so thank you for you proving it wasnt right. Also one of the coils gets hotter than the other cant seem to tune them fine enough. ...
In the picture now that you mention one firing hotter than the other, the coil in the first picture to the front, the negative lead, going to the out post looks like it could potentially ground at the outer deck there. I'd get the negative legs further into the negative posts, then check the screws were tight, and while pulsing tweek and adjust each coil, sometimes even raising one coil higher or lower than the other can compensate to make even firing, it takes practice. Twisted wire is pretty flavorful, and that space in the wire pulls liquid in, similar liquid flow as soldering a piece of copper pipe, the liquid flows toward the hottest place, in soldering the solder gets pulled toward the flame of the torch, with twisted and other more exotic wires like claptons, the more wire space and contact to liquid or for liquid to occupy really explodes the flavor.
Yes this is my first rda and regret getting a triple coil design as the deck space is compromised. Dual coil would be nice. I really appreciate the tips. Its actually the front most coil that gets hotter. Im thinking its because the one upper left coil isnt as tightly wrapped maybe? will try your advice. I think im gonna twist up some more coils just trying to figure out what wire I wanna make to use. Is my wicking properly setup?
Big difference in wire structure. I guess ill go the easy route an just make a similar coil but just use the new better twisted wire. Was leaning towards a clapton coil tho ....
IMO twisted wire is a waste of wire. Try a simple parallel build.
Twisting the legs keeps the parallel wraps aligned.

Too much cotton for me. It's killing the airflow.

I follow the K.I.S.S. Principle (Keep it simple, stupid).
If you thoroughly enjoy tinkering and experimenting with exotic coil builds, go for it. It's not for me.
I usually build twists. They give about 90% of the vapor improvement Claptons do, and are a lot easier to make. I also think twisted wire is stiffer and stands up to dry burning and re-wicking better than slick wire coils. That said, dual parallels also work and aren't hard to make. I happen to have a set of parallels in my Indulgence MT right now, and twists in everything else.
FWIW, the only way to build a coil wrong.... Is when the resulting coil doesn't work.
I prefer a loose twist of say a 2mm-3mm pitch over parallel or a tight twist. I don't do fancy, but I do prefer the flavor of twisted wire over single strand. BUT, single strand gives me a little more time between rewicking sessions. So, for me single strand vs twisted wire comes down to... When do I want to service the atty next. In my drippers I tend to do twisted wire. On my Kayfuns and tube mech I tend to do single strand. Reason it's easier to service the drippers than it is the tanks.
