RBA coil question.

[InDaCloud]

If you're using a variable power device and not a mechanical or DNA 20, I would stick to a single coil build on a RDA with smaller air chamber like a Octopus or a single coil UD RDA. With a little modification (drilling out a air hole in the cap: see youtube) the Octopus performs great for me. In fact, it's my go to RDA on my variable devices. Dual coils only make a appreciable difference, to me, when using low ohm or sub ohm builds. The Scar RDA is also good for single coils although it's designed to accept dual coils. Both are under $10 at MadVapes.com. That's where I bought mine. Hope this helps.

What do you mean by gave out? Did the coil pop or is it just gunked up?

Coil popped. It now reads 9.9ohms

Igo-W has 2 air holes. If yours doesn't I'd suspect fakery. There is really no way to say 'x' wraps will be 'x' ohms. It depends on the size/spacing/leg length and of course gauge of your coil. I'd recommend highly that you start with 30 gauge. Doing dual coil (which doesn't always work out so well on regulated device) will (as said) half the resistance, hence double the amp draw on your battery. Find out the amp limitation on your battery. If it does have an over current protection it likely won't fire at all.

What device are you using? This will help us advise you. Also get a multimeter, and learn to use it, and why you need to know how to use it. If you have any questions or any of this sounds crazy just pm or post. Hope this helps.

Vamo V3, and I do own a regular electronics multimeter just not one designed for e-cigs with the 510 thread. Also, I ended up going with a single coil Igo W. It has no arrived yet but the doil coil version was a bit too expensive for my budget at the time I placed the order.
