So I am having some problems with my dual coils I am building. 1 side always constantly runs out of juice before the other side or produces more vapor than the other side does.

I have done everything I can to eliminate the problem. Both coils have the exact same number of wraps, I try to build them exactly the same. I try to use the same amount of cotton in each one. I do a dry burn before I place the cotton & liquid in. They both heat up from the center out, both seem to heat up at relativity the same speed & with the same intensity. I place the same amount of liquid on both sides, the air holes are exactly the same.

I am trying everything I can to get them exactly uniform on both sides, yet one side always seems to run out & dry burn while the other side is still reasonably damp.

What else can I do to eliminate this problem. Is there something I am doing wrong or is it all about technique or .... Whats the issue here?

Mahalo.

Sorry. It is an igo-w

It is not 1 particular side, its both it just switches. Might be the left side but i rebuild the coils & now its the right side.

I place a cotton bed. They both use the liquid, just one side uses it faster. Does not matter size of coils I am using or how many wraps. Its done it through several coil builds of varying size & wraps to get the correct build.

Just wondering if I am doing something wrong or if this is normal or...what.

Thanks

I wonder if the juice is running down hill when you tilt to vape, causing the uphill wick to get less juice. Otherwise I got nothin.:unsure:

∆∆∆ My thoughts exactly.

Try to keep the mod vertical when you vape, if that solves your issue then you have found at least one factor in the equation of your issue.

Aside from that; are your coil legs all the same length? Minor differences can make a measurable difference in performance between the coils, as can minor differences in how far the point where your leads are from the battery (if one of the negative posts is closer than the other for example). You can check this by swapping a single coil from one position to the other and checking the resistance change, you want zero difference in both positions. If you get a repeatable measurable difference between positions I'd fault the RDA. It should go without saying this test must be done with a single coil and tales a lot of in and out work. But if your issue is persistent it may help you identify what's going on.
