I keep building sub ohm coils.. ;(

[jclay1192]

I'm trying to build a dual coil for my Igo-w but the only thing i can get to fire is a single coil no matter if i do 6 wraps or 3 and honestly i think im doing a good job on the wraps!! The problem with this is i can't use sub ohm on my current mods v_v

single coils are showing up as 1.4ish...- 1.8 ;/

honestly considering cold turkey since the amount of cotton and kanthal i'm going to be using at this rate will cost me fortunes.. and i'm not getting a nicotine fix with no working coils ;(

jclay, just posted some info for you in your other thread. Here it is again:

Here's a nice short video by Super_x_drifter that should help you get started with micro-coils. The video is specific to the RM2 but the same techniques work with most rebuildable drippers.

There is also some very good info here:

You may have better luck getting advice by posting in the RBA thread (link above).

What size kanthol are you using and whats the diameter of ur coil or what are you wrapping it around?

Well if you want the dual coil to meter out at 1.5 Ohm, both your single coils need to be 3.0 Ohm resistance individually. If your singles are 1.4 to 1.8 Ohm the resultant dual coil setup will meter 0.7 to 0.8 Ohm.

I'm not sure if I read this right.. But didn't you say that the sub ohm coils wouldn't work with your mods? What are they all VW? If that's the case. Just pick up a cheap mechanical.. And vape the s%$@ out of that sub ohm coil.. I been vaping only sub ohm coils for 8 months now and love it.. A lot more flavor.. And much bigger clouds.. And if you can't find a really cheap mechanical.. Shoot me a pm.. And I can see what I got sitting around that I could sell ya for really cheap.. Or you could even mail me your rba.. And I can build it and send it back.. With my silica.. And kanthal.. I use ekowool.. And 28 gauge kanthal.. And if you build a coil right.. One coil should last you like a whole month.. And if your tired of the flavor.. Just burn the flavor you have off.. And put your new flavor on and your good to go

To build dual coils to fire on a regulated mod, you will need at least 32 gauge Kanthal, but 34 would be even better. You have to wrap each coil to at least 2.6 ohms because the total resistance will be half of the coils. You need to make sure that the resistance of each coil is as close to the same as possible. Otherwise, one coil will get more power than the other.
