So everyone at my favorite vape shop sais they prefer dual coils, but it seems to me that i get better preformance out of singles, keep in mind i build my own...i have a kanger aerotank, after bein sorely disappointed eith the dual coils in it i tried to rebuild it a couple times, both times a success, but with little improvement from the factory coil, so i put the aero base on my protank 2 (single coil) and i have found a single coil is what i prefer...anyone have any tips that might redeem my faith in dual coils, even if not id love to get some other peoples input either agreeing or disagreeing i want your opinions...thanks ahead of time for your responses

My favorite vape these days is a dual coil Trident RDA. I've never tried dual coils in clearos or cartos. My gut feel for those is that I'm better off with single coils. The devil is in the details :)

Its all about surface space and max temp you can keep the juice wicking at and not burn up. I use dual coils over single coils, but I wrap them at the same ohm so each single coil in the dual coil setup gets the same heat/juice that a single coil would alone. If you wrap a dual at 1ohm total and a single at 1.5ohm then the single is going to run warmer, tastier, etc. Your multi coil setups just wont perform well until they are very low ohm or youre running a high voltage


This is also why those dual coil cartos and clearos etc don't seem to work any better, youre running two cooler temp coils in the end yielding the same, or less than satisfactory results

They can work quite well if your use the right power level (wattage or voltage) and have an APV with a good amp limit (5+ amps).

I just recently bought a iClear30 to try out, dual coil. Used the exact same liquid I've been using with my single coil toppers. What I noticed (after boosting the voltage so the wattage was the same) was more vapor but less flavor, much more muted.

A well coiled, well wicked single coil carto serves me very well, the dual coils craze seems to make re-building tougher and selling replacement coils easier.
