Single coil vs dual coil - wattage and voltage settings???

[Garemlin]

Maybe those of you more savvy when it comes to watts, voltage and coils could clear something up for me. I notice that I need to run much lower voltage on single coil heads than I do on dual coil heads.

Example: I have Kanger T2 with 1.8Ω that I can't even run at 6w on my MVP 2. I have to run it at 3.8v or below to not get a burnt taste. But I also have an Aspire ET-S BDC with a 1.8Ω head and can run at 8-9w with no issues.

So what I was wondering is will a dual coil head take double the power that a single coil head will???

For me, yes. If I like a 1.4-1.6 ohm single coil on a mech, I build around a .8 ohm dual for the same mech.

If on a VV or VW, double your liking for a dual coil. So if you like a single coil 1.5ohm at 8 watts, try a dual coil 1.5ohm at 15 watts. YMMV

Probably should try it at x1.5 what you like the single and adjust from there, since dual coils tend to be a warmer, more saturated, nic overdose kind of a vape.
