It looks just like a regular coil from the outside...inside instead of flavor wick and a coil wick its got 2 coil wicks. I made 2 coils and turned them in a u shape so each wick goes in and out from the same side...I assembled it the same way as normal, but with for wires (2 outside 2 inside) instead of 2

1.5...i need to retry it with more turns so i can get a 2 or so with it...7 turns on a single gives me 3 ish and 5 gives me about 2.5...so there is a resistance increase that doesnt quite half the total resistance...but it should be running as 2 2.5s right now...2 3s pulling the power of a 2...i will take that

Great idea!!! If this reduces the "draw time" then it is worth building! I have some 30AWG Kanthal coming in the mail. I will try this too! I am sure that it will suck more juice and drain batteries faster. I can deal with that! :D PLEASE post some images of this build!

I am gonna try a different design tomorrow I think...there is a flavor lack issue...I'm gonna attempt to put 2 coils on 1 wick and then have a second flavor wick with it...

How do yo prevent the 2 coils from touching each other? Not that they "short" out, but the current might take a shorter path, and not travel all the way through the coils? Did you "dry burn" to see if everything glows?

But very cool idea. Looking forward to a pic, or even a pic of a drawing of it.

Its chemistry...the type of wire used tends to build up an oxide layer anywhere exposed to air...when I dry test my coils...there is only metal air and wick...as long as there is no wrongsided wire touching the body anywhere...no shorts....

Success!

I took the middle wires and put them down to the center contact, and the outside wires are the body contact. I put the coils in so they wrap around the flavor wick. Otherwise assemble as normal.
