I've rebuilt a couple using a single coil, just add a flavor wick on top to take up the space of the other coil. I was told they vaped great.
I ran out of duals for my aerotank and am currently using stock single coils. Just get a grommit from a dual coil and use that or get a 2nd grommit from another single coil and put it upside down on top of the first one to avoid leaks.
My daughter and I are using Kanger single coils on Kanger Protank 2 Mini bases for our Evod Glass clearos. Works fine.
Ive been vaping my Kanger Aerotank Mega on T3S coils for weeks now. The stock dual coils are low life products. The T3S has had its problems too, but not as bad as the dual coil heads. The T3S screws right in a vapes like a million dollars. My problem has been with Nautilus, Aerotank Mega, and generally all the Kanger heads I've bought lately. The QC problem is in the silver solder joints where the non resistive legs are soldered on to the coil itself. These are breaking down and rising in resistance as you vape, then finally opening up when the joint fails and the leg is no longer attached to the coil.
I'm not a high voltage vaper. I vape a 2 ohm coil at 3.4v until the new wears off. Then, I crank it up about .2v at a time until I can't hack the flavor anymore or it goes open on me. The 2 ohm T3S coil I installed this afternoon was great for a few hours. It's almost midnight and it's up to 3.1 ohms and getting weaker by the minute.

i wrap a single coil around swiss army knife tweezers. i call it a radiator. its tricky to make but works great. using 30ga nichrome 6 coils i get 1.4ohm or less. same design with 30ga kanthal a-1 gives around 1.8 ohm.
Here are some great videos/written instructions on rebuilding kanger Protank coils:
1. Mini Protank Micro Coil Rebuild - 1.8ohm = 12 wraps of 28 gauge kanthal on 5/64" drill bit
2. Nano Micro Coil build for Kanger Protank 2 - 1.1ohm = 12 wraps of 28 gauge kanthal on 20 gauge syringe needle
3. Protank Diamond Coil Build - For crisp fruit taste - 1.2ohms = 12 wraps of 28 gauge kanthal on 20 gauge syringe needle
4. Aerotank / PT3 Rebuild - Dual to Single Part 1 - written instructions
5. Aerotank Build Using a Zip Tie - 6wraps = 1.4ohms 9wraps = 2.0ohms
I know Rip Trippers also did a video on rebuilding a single coil for an Aerotank but I didn't bookmark it. If anyone has the link please post.

This is the best way I've found to make perfect coils. You can even make split coils like the Kanger style where there are 3 coils on each side with a space in the middle. The 1.83mm rod is just right for Protank coils. It's also easy to make custom diameter coils in between the standard rod sizes. You just have to find a clothes hanger wire or other suitable rod, make two right angle bends for a crank.

I lovre my Gizmo, makes the best tight coils. The second smallest winder is the same as a 1/16th drill bit and the next largest is the same as a 1/8th bit. I use the 1/16th one for Kanger coils and the 1/8th fro making coils for my RBAs and RDAs. Hobby Lobby has a 40% off coupon on their website so you can get one for about $7 if you go to a store to get it. Great invention. They also have a wire twister for about $5 that will twist up to 5 wires for those really twisted coils for your drippers.
I am really hoping to be able to use the single coil kangers in my aero tanks and PT3 cuz I have about 80 coils left and I rebuild with cotton wick and love the flavor ..... can't imagine having to give that up and revert back to only EVODS and regular Protanks and unitank.
I'm using my stock of Kanger T3S coils (long tube, single coils) in my Kanger Aerotank Mega and I actually like them better than the duals. Right now, I'm trying to evaluate the coils that I have on hand and it looks like all my single coils are apparently counterfeits (white box). The pack of duals for the Mega are in a white box and Kanger is saying that all their coils are black box packaged.
Haven't tried it yet, but will shortly. Just got my Aerotanks and started out with what came with it.....not bad but not super either.
my new Kanger BDC came in a white box from a co-op....hope they are originals. But still think I will mostly use my old rebuilt singles if they work out ok. I have always had good flavor with them.....never a problem after I rewicked with cotton anyway
