I just rebuilt my Magma clone with a 1.5 ohm single coil build with Kanthal A-1 28 GA. I formerly had a 2.3 ohm coil with kanthal a1 it had way more surface area but it also took longer to heat. the 1.5 ohm coil heats almost instantly and put off a way bigger plume of vapor. i used the same juice as before and the flavor is way better as well. I lined up the ring to the middle air hole and so far it works great !! I wonder what a single coil 1 ohm build would be like seeing how I can only go down to .9 ohms this things rocks now the Magma its putting out huge flavor I originally had it set at 15 watts I had to turn it down to 13 it was putting to much off and I was getting a slight burnt flavor . I am wondering what other builds would be good for me . I cant seem to figure out a good double coil configuration that will put off a real good amount of vapor maybe the MVP20 W does nt have the balls to heat two coils but it should if I build it right ? Right? What should I do about the double coil it should put off double the vapor and flavor any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Remi Love
Single coils awesomeness double coil flop ?

I'm rocking mine with RiP's suggested build of 1.2 on 28. I like it at 18W or so with either the largest single hole or both middle holes open. I'm currently trying it on the smallest single hole at 12W and it's a really, really nice setup for mouth to lung inhales. I think my wife might even like it. It's becoming my guinea pig for my Erl-clone-again coils. It's just easier to build and try coils on the Magma. The 1.2 just heats up quick. It's almost clearo quick. I like that; hit button, receive vapor.
I've not tried to make a lower wattage setup for duals. Looking at steam-engine, I would think that a 1.2 build on 30 would be too cool of a vape and have poor production. Dual 32s look like they might work. Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators (I can't get the link function to work, sorry.) But I don't know that I would want to commit to any quantity of 32 gauge wire for a purchse.
Unless you have a place that will sell you a couple of feet.
If you can stretch to a 30W device, you have way more options. I'm running a dual setup in one of my tanks that I adore. It's a .6 build. 3mm ID, 5 wraps. Vapes like a boss between 22-28W. Really thick, almost chewy vapor that's just the right warmth.
@Jay: I love the twisted coils idea. My erl clone has a 1 ohm dual-twisted 30 ga setup in it now. It's nice, but power hungry. It vapes rather unremarkably at anything below 24W. at 26-28 she's just about perfect. I just want a good 12-15W setup for just vaping while I'm out and about. Gotta keep that batttery life. 45W vaping all day on my Aqua is a bit hard on the batteries, lol. Next build in the ErlC will be a 1.2 28ga single or a 1.4ish 30 ga build for on the wife's ego. (Yes, I found the spec sheet for it and all is well within amp draw, impedance and voltage specs.)

I've never yet vaped a dual coil ANYTHING that I thought was worth a flip. It's either too hot, or it changes the flavor drastically and definitely not for the better. It takes more airflow to keep it cool, so it's like tryng to smoke a straw. It runs batteries down faster. My opinion, basically, is that dual coils SUCK. Loudly and with great vigor.

I agree with this Andria! With much vigor! LOL! Ive tried dual coils a couple of times. It wasn't for me. My builds were solid and wicked great. I just didn't care for the air flow I had to have nor the heat. My 1.0 to 1.3 single coils are just fine by me!

Lately I rock single coils at around 1.2ohms on my mechs. On my hana clone (30w) I do 1.2-1.6 single in my veritas.
I used my tobh alot up until recently - I'd just build 2 1.4ohm coils and clock in at about .8ohms and it would work great! I generally keep my voltage between 4v and 4.4v on my 30w mod. I wrap with 28ga kanthal most of the time, lately around a 7/64 with JC or 3/32 for 3mm readyxwick.

I run dual 24 ga all the time. It's not that hot and I get instant, press, vapor. I wrap 6/7 micro coil on the Magma, Origen, TOBH, etc. It works out great for me. Single coil is not for me.
+3 for single coils. Even traded a new Reos LP/SP Grand and RM5 for a ProVari P2 and an original Svoemesto KFL, just to get something out of a $240 set up I really did not enjoy, at all. Personally, Vaping is Freedom from 40 years of Tobacco. Not an Olympic Event.
Vaping is different things to different people. I used to be a single coil guy until I finally found a dual coil setup that worked. It takes more attention and maintenance, and you need to spend time learning how to wick it correctly, but it was well worth it for me.
