Quick question: with a dualcoil style, are the voltages the same as for a single thread, or can you go higher?

Just purchased a Aspire nautilus, which is dual coil, whereas all my others are single coil. Unlike the single coil Kangers/Evod's I use, which can go up to 2.5 ohm resistance, the Nautilus coils are either 1.5 or 1.8.

The person at the shop said I could safely go up to 4.0 on the 1.8 coil, which seems a bit high when I compared it mentally to my 'safe zone' on my single thread coils when I use 1.8 resistance.

Thanks-- for now I'm going to keep my voltage low. Have to say the hit off the Aspire is awesome, even at 3.2v settings.

Most dual coil atomizer manufacturers will suggest 4-5 volts with a dual coil clearo/glasso. Vaping charts, and the "plus '2' rule" are simply a starting guideline... not hard, fast, chiseled in stone rules.

From a safety standpoint it should be the same. Also a vv mod with a decent board won't fire something that is unsafe anyway. What exactly do you have?

The difference comes down to the wattage the coil actually produces. For a single coil at 1.8Ω all the amperage and watts go through the one coil. For a dual coil the wattage is split, 1/2 to each coil, so a voltage that produces 8 watts at 1.8Ω will only produce 4 watts to each coil.

A dual coil can use a higher voltage because the wattage is split and lessened to each coil....

I am running a coil in my Nautilus right now that started out reading 1.9 ohm new and is now showing 2 ohm at 4.2v from my MVP2 with no problem. Just try turning it up in small intervals and give it a try. If you start getting a burnt taste back the voltage up a little bit. You'll find your happy medium of flavor and vapor. I just got a set of 2.2ohm nautilus coils that just recently came out. I like them better with my MVP. I was running the one at 4.4v with no problems. I even went a little higher than that and didn't get a burnt taste but there was no noticeable difference so I went back down.

Ah, nice, thanks. I was thinking with Dual meant I could kick it higher-- switched up to 3.8 (my normal vape level on most coils) and it both produces way more vape than my T3S and Evodd BCC and is nice as hell.

90 bucks total spent. Each cent worth it
