What you will experience is a much harder/harsher TH with that same nic level. You are burning juice on two coils. Why this is is provided you leave the wires the same as your current setup, you will pretty much halve the resistance.

So, lets take your liking. 1-1.2ohms. You make your wires this way. If you do dual coils, you will pretty much end up between .5-.7 ohms. That will tickle your throat, yes?

Using the same example, if you still want to end at 1-1.2 ohms, then what needs to happen is EACH wire needs to be setup as 2-2.4ohms. Then when you set dual coil, your end result will be about half. You still burn on two coils, producing much more vapor and flavor, your TH is in your zone, thereabouts.

If your eager to test this theory, use an atty you already have and check out videos by bishop. He's done his highlander duals on ody, penny, iAtty. You will see, if you haven't already seen these, exactly what is done. But with Ithaca, it will be easier because there are dual channels already so no stacking coils and sandwiches.

Of course, bish will be quad coiling the Ithaca I'm sure. :)

Ahh, ok, this makes sense! Thanks!

P.S. - it's been bugging me, is that Bruce Willis in your avatar, or do you just seriously look exactly like him?

Actually it has also a more complicated aspect. When you burn 2 coils, the amount of heat produced from both is theoretically the same as one coil (assuming same final resistance on both), however each coil is have the half of the power. So dual coils tend to produce better flavor since liquid will be vaporized at a lower temperature. The amount of heat although theoretically is the same based on physics, I cannot confirm it based on practical results. But the flavor is for sure different and dual coils give me more satisfying flavor. Now for vapor for sure it should be greater, since even it is at lower temperature per coil, the surface area for vaporization is doubled. As for Throat Hit, the major player is the amount of nicotine, I would assume, and that is a function of the quantity of liquid vaporized which is also based on the temperature and surface area, so you go figure it out :D

Oh EVERYTHING has a more complicated side. I was trying to ring the most simple way of putting it. :)
Nicotine factors into the TH dramatically. As does PG. I personally feel a very similar TH on duals as I do singles provided I increase the individual wire to be about double.

fyi/reminder, one could also use thinner gauge resistance wire on the new dual coil setup to achieve similar ohms

28awg single coil
->30awg dual coil
