Imeo I have few questions:

Why did you drop the idea of having 2 holes of air in center post?

Which dual coil setup you think its best x or parallel?

When using dual coil the x way, basic feeding cannot feed both coils at the same time if it is move to one channel. It will feed 2 wicks of the same coil right?

Great questions aal

1. 2 and 4 holes didnt work well for a simple reason. The air couldnt come with the nessesary speed to hit the coil because it was whipsawed, so it had much less strenght

2. Both coils works exellent if you make them in the right way. And the right way is to close the gap between the 2 coils when they are parallel. When they are in X style you dont need to do anything.

3. You are absolutely right on this. So you just put basic feeding to both channels:)

I've seen all 4 videos Imeo :) Ithaka looks awesome and can't wait to get my hands on it. Any chance of getting brass parts for Ithaka later on?
Thanks Imeo and a great job. Can't wait to get hold of your other creations in the pipe line :toast:

A brass drip tip would look nice with brass parts on a mod....:)

thanks raj.:)
Ithaka cant have brass on her because its an atomizer and brass cant come in touch with liquid, except we talk for very small areas

As in touching in the middle? Doesn't this ultimately just lead to current traveling down one or the other? e.g.

yeah, i would think youd have to isolate them with a piece of wick in the middle or something. i dont think youd ever want the 2 coils touching, but maybe imeo can explain better.

Well, im not an electrical engineer or anything, but the way I understand it is, electricity travels the path of least resistance. Just because the two wires touch, doesnt mean they actually have a solid electrical connection. It would still travel along its own wire because its easier than jumping to the next wire...

but i would think if they touch, there would be a short where the 2 wires touch, just like wrapping a single coil and having the coils touch by being too close together...no?!

Not necessarily. As was stated above, the current will follow the path of least resistance. Considering the ODY/Penny set ups can run even when poorly done, shows this (as compared with those crappy gennies). The more I tinker with various atomizers, the more I'm convinced that the GG atomizer line is dummy-proof and VERY efficient (current-wise).

Look at the genny coils where all the R wires are touching--they work.
