See what i like..
Dual coil built parallel.
Not to be confused with two coils wrapped beside each other. Just a simple dual coil... but i like them on the same side so I use the same piece of cotton through both. Dunno why. Just my style. feel it helps if they are close in case one takes a bit longer (Talking like a milisecond) to heat.

Sometimes I do dual parallel coils (Have this in my El Cabron right now). By this I mean two separate coils each wrapped with two 24g wires... so 4 wires total.

Right now my favorite is two standard 22g microcoils (Doge X v2). Sometimes I dual four standard coils with 24g (have this in my Dark Horse, Samurai, and Kennedy Comp right now). And sometimes I dual three standard 24g coils (Stillare v3, Onslaught). And sometimes I use nichrome instead of Kanthal.

Well, a parallel gives more surface area. Its easier to make than a twisted, because you don't need a drill. But two standard coils right next to each other is going to be a lower resistance than a parallel (because the winds for each wire in a parallel are further apart... there is a second wire in-between them). It really is just an additional way to hit a resistance target.

But, at least on a mech (this is all I use), any kind of well wrapped microcoil at low-resistance will give great flavor and vapor production. If you are using one of those high-power regulated boxes, the type of coil matters even less. You can just wrap any kind of coil you feel like and then keep pumping the watts up until you get the flavor and vapor production that you like.
