Hi sub. Many people like single coils, and that's perfectly fine. However, if your dual coil atty produces less vapor than a single coil, you're doing something wrong. Whatever you may say about dual coils, they do produce much more vapor than singles--due to increased surface area. In other words, you should be be getting two-coils worth of vapor out of a dual coil.
I haven't tried the DC ProTank, but I love my Aerotanks.

Me, too. I prefer the flavor of a single coil Protank II to the duals in my Aerotanks.
Same flavor juice, out of the same bottle. Better draw and twice the vape plume out of the Aerotanks, but the flavor is just - different.

Have you tried using your PT 2 with the Aero base? Really nice draw.
Kanger Upgraded Stainless Steel Original Aerotank Base. Compatible with Protank I, II, 3, Aerotank.

Not into dual coils I use a lot of kanger gear and I rebuild all mine to single vertical micro coil with cotton wrapped around the coil after reading the huge thread on hear about them and they work like a dream.
There's a lot of explaining to do regarding coil ohms, watts of power, and heat in a coil. But, the easiest way to discover the real differences between a single and a dual-coil device, it to use a variable power battery. A regulated mod that will deliver 20 watts to your coils will go a long way in allowing you to discover the differences between coils and devices.
Me too. I got an igo-w for my LP Reo and I just cant get into duals. Singles are much simpler and for the hassle I reallyvdont notice that much of a difference. I just dont care anything about it.

Kayfun 3.1 and single 28ga coils are more than enough for me.
I like the Aspire Nautilus BDC dual coil and the new BVC vertical coil. Kangers are good when QC is maintained and they last more than a day or two.
WInd your own and know that they are right. I spent enough money on bad Kanger and Aspire coils this year to purchase several years worth of DIY materials for Kayfun coils. A little Kanthal and cotton goes a long way.

I'm using the same exact liquid and same voltage setting recommended by the coils resistence. I've tried the 1.5 and 2.0 ohm dual coils the only way I can get a decent amount of vapor from the dual coils is to turn the voltage way up which of course makes the liquid taste burnt. If I set my battery at my normal vaping voltage it will barely even heat the duel coil and produces only small amounts of vapor and metal taste.

I have a single coil all glass FAA tank which works great, I also use H2 tanks a lot and those work really good for me with lots of vapor and flavor, and they use inexpensive replacement coils. I wanted to try another all glass tank with a duel coil but it just doesn't produce what I expected. My H2 tanks work much better.
The problem (as far as I can tell) is that two coils in parallel (with the same resistance) don't heat quite as fast and thus don't get to the vaporization point of the liquid quick enough to produce a nice plume. This can be overcome by a stronger mod with stronger batteries.
I would theorize that a single coil, twice as long but thinner and feeding from two wicks run dragon coil style, would produce roughly the same effect. You'd need to kick your voltage up to hit the flashpoint of the liquid, but could probably output a huge cloud.
Or I could be horribly mistaken...Been out of the game for a bit and trying to catch up with a brain full of old theorycraft.

I am afraid it’s not as easy as it sounds. When you use the same wattage on a single and dual coil things became rather complicated and difference in vapor production could be not really big.
I'm in no way after big plumes of vapor, I don't care about that. I was told the duel coils would last much longer and provide better taste, however I'm satisfied with the taste I'm getting now. I suppose I just wanted to try the duel coil to see if other was a noticeable difference but the only difference I noticed was reduced vapor and less taste. Maybe I was expecting to much.
And that's the problem. Right there.
Dual coils can be tricky.
A 1.8Ω dual coil atty consists of two 3.6Ω coils. But your battery reads the combined resistance of the atty--it doesn't know that there are two coils joined on the same circuit. That's why you need to know what the resistance of each coil is and tell your battery to supply more wattage than you would need to supply to a single coil of the same resistance. A 1.8Ω single coil atomizer will run much hotter than your 1.8Ω dual coil atty, which splits the load between two 3.6Ω coils (thus producing a cooler but more voluminous--due to increased surface area--vape).
The main reason DC cartomizers were invented in the first place was to decrease the heat of the coils to prevent burning of filler in cartomizers (the first dual coils were used in cartomizers).
It will also increase the demand for amps the battery needs to supply and decrease the overall heat (power) of each coil, thus requiring higher voltages.
This is how I see it. Let's say I like to vape at 6 watts (on a single coil). If I tell my PV to supply 6 watts to two coils, my atomizer will not vape the same as it would if it only had to apply 6 watts to one coil--a single coil would be working at 6 watts, two coils--at 3 watts each, more or less. In theory, at least.
In the real world, the realized, true experience would be probably somewhere between the two wattage figures--when using a dual coil device.
In my own experience, I can't put a 1.8Ω single coil stock cartomizer much above 4 volts (8.9W) and enjoy the vape--it's too hot and harsh for me. The highest I can comfortably go with a single-coil 1.8Ω atty is maybe 3.6 volts or so (7.2 watts). However, I have absolutely no problem vaping a 1.8Ω DCC at 4.0v and up and I have no issues with dry hits or burnt taste whatsoever.
Imagine vaping two 3.6Ω atties attached to the same battery at the same time. The battery will have to work much harder and will drain much faster than it would with just one 3.6Ω atty, right? That's why dual coils mow through your battery--and your juice--like crazy.
I prefer single coil cartomizers, myself. I always know if I got a dual coil mixed up as a single... No where near the vapor I'm used to at 3.8v, or 8 watts, and I use VV/VW devices. I prefer vaping at lower voltages/wattages, I like a cool vape, and I can definitely notice a significant difference between dual and single coil cartos.
