Hi,
I've been vaping on a regulated mod with a single coil RDA (Dead Rabbit SQ) for a few weeks. Recently, I bought the Pulse BF kit, so I've been experimenting with both the mech world and dual coil setups.
I've tried various wires in various gauges with the pulse RDA, but hardly got a satisfying result. The best build I had is a dual coil 26AWG KA1, 2.5mm 5 half wraps. Of course these coils are spaced, or else the wire would be located right between the two air holes on each side, so the airflow wouldn't really hit the coils.
Out of curiousity, I built a similar single parallel coil on my DR SQ, only it's a contact coil (since the air holes are cyclops, contact coils work really well). Surprisingly, the DR gave a much better vape!
I've compared both RDAs on my regulated mod. The build on the pulse reads 0.33ohm, the DR 0.29 (the legs are shorter on the DR). Turns out the pulse needed more wattage, even though the resistance is a bit higher, to provide a vape similar to the DR.
To confirm the test, I put the BF pin on my DR, and put it on the Pulse mod, and the vape is awesome!
Now, of course the chambers, airflow, etc, are not the same on both RDAs, but I believe the difference is mostly caused by the coil build.
I've always thought of a parallel build as a dual coil for a single coil RDA, so basically it would perform close to, but not as good as a true dual coil. So I'm really surprised to see that the contrary seems closer to the truth.
Would anyone else care to weigh in with their own experience comparing single parallel and dual coils? It'll help me know if the single parallel is actually better than spaced dual coils, maybe it's not and it just comes from the RDAs, or whatever

I’m trying but I just don’t know much in this area yet but working on it. Though I cracked myself up with that one!
