How single coil with 3 posts

[Ballzley]

Hey all! Long time lurker. ECF has been such a great place for me to find out about anything e-cig related. I don't think I would've came this far, this fast without such a resource. Hats off to all those that made this forum possible.

I Joined a few years back when I had my kr-808d1's from cigeasy... was a nice transition from auto batteries. The small size, sleek and simple design, and customer service was great for me at the time. Highly recommend them for a novice e-cig user transitioning from cheap gas station auto/disposable batteries.

Fast forward about 2 or so more years.. and now I'm tinkering with a vamo v5 and a phoenix v6 Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer (i think that's what RDA means). I wish the backend holes on the posts of the phoenix v6 were sanded instead of sharp-punched out metal sticking out, but I can't complain for what it is compared to cartos and standard LR drip attys. a e-go twist type 510 "vision spinner rainbow" for the wifey. she's lovin it. trying to get her off the analogue crutch with some NETs from naturally-extracted-tobacco (took damn near 3.5 weeks for the package since ordering, but the juices I got did not disappoint). Great stuff, and I am actually enjoying the e-cig experience. although I still continue to enjoy my hand rolled analogues on occasion - haven't had one in about a month now with no issues or mood swings - vaping is my go-to for the nic-rush.

Some background aside, I do have a question

I read from some poster and saw a pic of a single coil in a 3 post RDA build. How exactly can I achieve this; which two posts do the coil ends go into?

Thanks for reading, and Hello ECF

Welcome to the forum!

Hopefully, you'll get some help. Sorry, I can't help with that! If not, after you have 5 posts, you may want to try posting here-

Thank you, and thanks for the link that was fast

No matter the number of connection points, there are always only 2 electrical poles in an atomizer.



You will need to find out wich one is the positive... The positive pole is always insulated from the rest of the device with plastic o rings or something of the sort. The negative is connected directly on the body. Just connect a positive pole with a negative and voila... You can ignore the rest of the connection points.

Be sure to read a lot and understand rebuildables before jumping into them... They are tricky and potentially dangerous.

Thanks you two and thanks for that extra bit about the plastic o-ring on positive posts

Typically the positive post is the middle one, while the outer ones are the negative posts. You just set up one coil to make a single coil in a dual coil RDA.
