Im not much of a dripper but is there a difference having vertical coils in a RDA other then flavor?

I set up some toppers w/ horizontal and vertical coils and vapor quality was similar. I prefer horizontal because mine wick better and are easier to rewick. What makes a big difference is coil position relative to air intake. Most of mine are set up w/ coil about 1 mm to 2 mm from air hole. Too close and air flow is restricted. Too far and vapor quality drops.

Chipotle.
I use IGO-L to try out mouth to lung flavors.
I use drilled IGO-W dual coil to try out lung inhale flavors.
Two different worlds as you probably know.
I'm a lung inhaler, currently using IGO-W modified with 1.8mm dual air holes and dual 26ga micro coils, 8 wraps each and came in right at .50 ohms. Super tasty, really a pleasure to just sit and enjoy. Very simple to re-wick as well, I'm using organic cotton and it takes 3-5 minutes to completely clean and re-wick.

I don't know how weird stuff like this is recieved but here goes. One classic 1.5mm 28g micro, 11 wraps for the th and vapor, and across from it is a 7 wrap .8 ribbon tinman providing a whole different flavor element. Its soaked in Five Pawns "Queenside" and I'm a happy dude right now. Ohms out at .7 Sometimes its nice to take a break from cloud chasing and just put in a flavor build and some good 50/50. :)

How does it vape with using 2 different types of wire? I've always wondered how it does, especially if they don't heat up evenly.

Its one of the best vapes I've ever had as far as flavor goes. Its not super aggressive and the airholes on that igo-w5 are only 3/32 so its not a cloud chaser by any means. The tinman glows up to bright orange (almost yellow but not quite) and the micro glows medium orange. One side will run dry first but I still get 7-8 easy pulls before I need to drip. I don't know how something like this would act as a more aggressive cloud chaser. I will report back on that when I get bored enough to try it. Lol

A Squid with 9/8 wraps of 30 AWG kanthal wrapped around a 1.3 mm safety pin. 1.5 Ohm.

I have a single coil dripper like this one, it's great for flavor testing and actually makes some decent vapor. I drilled the air hole on mine out to 7/64.

I just stuck that 1.3 mm safety pin through mine. :D Aluminium is soft compared to whatever steel they make safety pins from.

It depends. I've got a coil in a Taifun GT (clone) that is over a month old. A good rinse and dry burn between refills keeps it chuggin'.

However, I had a coil on a Kayfun (again, clone) that I had to change out after about 5 days. That lil' bugger was so gunked up, it was CHUNKY. Yikes.


Just a question for you guys. How long do you go on your coils before you change them out?
