Hi. I bought my first sub-ohm tank (Triton v2) last week and it's the best vape I've ever had but the coil heads only last me a few hours. I've been using the 0.5 ohm clapton coil heads at 45 Watts. So to save money, I just bought the dual coil Aromamizer with velocity style deck and some 26/32 gauge clapton kanthal wire.
I've never built or vaped a dual coil before. Can anyone tell me about how many wraps I would need on each coil to get a similar experience as I got on the Triton? Also what size drill bit to wrap the coil around (2.5mm or 3.0mm)? I didn't buy much clapton coil so any info that can help is much appreciated.

The thing that gunks up coils is the liquid

Anyway, with the rebuildable you will be able to clean your coil and change wick instead of tossing the old coil.

Thanks. I assumed this but wasn't sure. Are there any signs to look out for to tell if a juice will be bad for coils (before buying)?

thick, darker liquids have a reputation for gunking up coils.
unflavoured is the least likely to gunk.

most flavouring found in eliquids come from the food flavouring industry; they are not really designed for vaping so-to-speak.

Winding your own coils will save you big bucks. A couple of rolls of wire and a box of Sally's cotton coil or cellucotton rayon will easily last you a year or two and only cost about $25.

In not much more than the time it takes to replace a factory coil, you can just dry burn the coil, replace the cotton or rayon wick, and restore everything to like new condition.
