Mono-coil on dual-coil RDA

[Frat]

I was asking myself If there was a difference between building Mono coil on a rda that's meant for Mono coiling and on a rda that's meant to be built in dual Coil ?

 

[Izan]

Hi and Welcome,
What devices are you building upon?
Single coil device=?
Dual coil device=?
If you want your final resistance to be .5Ω;
That is one coil at .5Ω for the mono set up and two coils at 1Ω each for the dual.

Cheers

I like single coils in 22mm RDA's. Larger RDA's have a much larger area to heat and perform better with dual coils imho.

 

[Fozzy71]

I am using single coils in all the rda's that I have in rotation, even the 24mm rda's (dead rabbits, pulse 24, and athena) that are designed for dual coils. Single coils give me faster ramp up and better battery life (I am using all single battery squonks, both mech and regulated) and I don't notice any significant difference/decrease in flavor, throat hit or clouds after years of using dual coils in my rta/rda when I was using dual and triple battery mods.

 

[Frat]

So as a box I have the Tesla WYE and the Tesla Invader 3 (regulated mech) and for the RDA's I have the pulse 24 and the dead Rabbit, btw thanks for your answers but is there a real flavor difference between let's say single Coil on pulse 22 and pulse 24 ?

 

[Fozzy71]

is there a real flavor difference between let's say single Coil on pulse 22 and pulse 24 ?

I have both. The pulse 24 is on the pulse bf mech box with a tri-core fused clapton 3-26/36 ni80 single coil ~0.21 ohm, the pulse 22 is on the RSQ regulated box in TC mode with a Tri-Core Fused Clapton SS 30GX3/38G / 3MM / 5 wrap - x1 = 0.35ohm. I don't notice any significant flavor difference between them but they both have 2 different/new juices in them and I probably don't have the best taste buds to be able to tell if a difference even if they were both loaded with the same juice.

I'd say you may notice differences. I notice differences between a 22 mm siren vs a 24 mm one using the exact same coil at the exact same resistance. To me, smaller RTAs are more flavorful and the flavor can be more "immediate."

I'm not entirely clear if that's everything you are asking? It's usually possible to put a single coil on a dual coil RDA, although you'd have to know the correct coil type and how to place it, e.g. are you blocking off one side of the deck vs building a coil diagonally and etc. I don't know too much of the specifics of your devices but it should be possible to coil a dual coil using a single coil and yes, that will probably affect flavor and performance, (in a good or bad way) but it can be and is done.

I really prefer single coil RTAs, but I am talking tanks. I just find the build deck easier to work with but I have a fine motor tremor, so I need space and etc (although I have improved on my skills I have not attempted a dual anything yet. As a MTL vaper though, it tends to not be so necessary for me as far as getting the resistance I want and everything else in not too tiny a space.

I have no idea if any of this was helpful but good luck!

An atty that was designed for dual coils will tend to have a lot of dead space in the chamber if you build it with just one coil. This often leads to less than stellar flavor and vape quality.

Of course there are exceptions. In my (somewhat limited) experience, these tend to be ones that can accommodate a single coil in a central location, right under the drip tip.

I’m using a Hunter Royal X that can be used as a single or dual coil. I’ve only used it with a simple single spaced coil and the flavor is out of this world!

ditto, all my dual coilers I have built with single coils are done this way. The few times I tried single coils on something like the goon or bonza where the coil is off to one side I hated it.

One issue some have with building a single coil on a dual deck is with airflow. If the single coil is on one side next to air intake there is a lot of "extra" air coming from holes, slots, what have you, on the other side. To me it makes a less dense vape but there are probably ways around that.

 

[Frat]

I've just tried building a single Coil on my Pulse 24 and actually there isn't any big differences between single and dual Coil, I have almost the same amount of vapor, the Coil that I've put in it is a simple inowire spaced Coil Reading at .3 ohm. If that makes the battery last longer like fozzy said I think I'm gonna keep up single coiling

That has been my experience Rossum. This is my first try at a single coil in an Aromamizer RDTA, with the coil as high as I could get it and still be reasonably certain it wouldn't short:

I used Rayon because the coil is quite far from the juice delivery holes, but it still seems to be easier to get consistently good wicking than with dual coils. It's a messy coil because I had to bend the tails to get them into the mounting holes, but IMO it vapes just as good as with a dual coil setup. With my next build I got the coils even, but it didn't vape any better than this one . I have enough Rayon in the chamber so it significantly reduces the air volume. It has become my favorite setup for these atties.

I use a Derringer with one coil. It has airflow adjustable to one side only, and overall it is small (short) enough that it doesn't totally kill the flavor. A filler for the empty side would be nice, but I haven't figured that out yet (all I could come up with was using a small pebble, lol).

How do you like it so far? I just received the v2 aromizer and the supreme. Plan on checking them out tomorrow.

The dead rabbit fits that bill perfectly. Ive had a single coil on mine for some time now. I like to use twisted wire and make a larger diameter wrap. I get big vapor and flavor with this setup on a t priv. The coil sits directly under the driptip. I gotta be careful with the wattage because it can be a spitter. Otherwise, i get excellent vape with it this way.

Have been running a single on the Drop and enjoying it.

To answer the main question, I think it will depend on how the build deck is setup and how air flow moves through the rda. For instance if the deck is divided by a solid wall with a coil on each side and the airflow cannot be shut off to the side you leave without a coil, then you will be getting half of your airflow with no vapor at all, greatly diminishing flavor. If the deck is open, OR the air to the unused side can be shut off, OR if a single coil can be mounted in the center, then I think it can still perform pretty good. The bottom line is that single coil performance in a multi coil deck is going to vary greatly from 1 device to another depending on design.

The AR RDTA was my first experience with a tank that performed as well as a RDA and it got me away from squonking. That was a couple of years ago now

The only issue I have with them is I can't get them to stop leaking when they're sideways, while still moving juice to the coil(s) fast enough to keep up. In the end I accepted that I couldn't put it sideways and just vaped it at home.

The vape is great. Different than a Rose V3 or a Doggystyle, but right up there in flavor and TH. The V2 is the same as the V1 but with a metal air flow control. I upgraded one of mine. Vapes the same, just has a nicer looking flow control

I've heard a lot of good things about the Supreme. Hope you like them both!
