I'm looking for the The Pros and Cons of Duel Coil vs Single Coil Clearomizers. Top and bottom coil placement also.
The Pros and Cons of Duel Coil vs Single Coil Clearomizers

I've had the opportunity to try about all of them. Top coil vs bottom coil designs. Single coil vs dual coil designs.
Bottom line? I think it boils down to individual preferences based on your own experience. I've not noticed any difference in vape quality between dual vs single. A top coil design may appear to be a warmer vape due to the coils being so close to the mouthpiece and your mouth. A bottom coil design may appear to be a cooler vape due to the couple of inches the vapor travels from the coil to your mouth.
A top coil design (ie iClear 16, iClear 30) may require tipping the tank horizontal occassionally as the liquid level falls in the tank in order to keep the top of the wicks wet; a minor inconvenience IMO. Manufacturerers appear to be going more for the bottom coil designs lately.
Overall, I'm not a fan of clearomizers. They have been designed to appeal to novice vapors who want easy to fill tanks and easy to replace coils. However, the design of tiny wicks and coils lead to inconsistancy and muted flavors. At some point in time, you'll likely grow tired of them and move on to a cartotank or start rebuilding atomizers (RBA's).

I have a Kanger Aero Tank which came with dual coils. I used the two dual coils that came with the unit, but I make my own coils (nothing fancy, just regular 32ga wire at around 1.8 Ohms or so). After using the two dual coils I started putting in my own coils, singles. I honestly couldn't tell any difference. Same taste, same clouds, but I don't think I am going through juice quite as fast.... YMMV
And, BTW, welcome to ECF!

The difference in dual coils v/s single coils can be noticed more by some than others.
I think dual coils give off a warm vape and I really dont like them. I build all my aerotank coils and I have an RTA that I only run a single coil in. Also I think dual coils are harder on batteries.
With a single coil I can actually produce a bit more vapor(NOT A CLOUD CHASER LOL) and still get a good quality of taste but I get the cool vape that I like and batteries last longer.
Give them a try and if you like them get a mod to use with them lol.

Wattage at the coil and battery life. Dual coils divide the wattage between them. So if you are running a single coil at 8 watts, and put a dual coil on, you are running two coils at 4 watts each. This means each coil is producing less vapor and heat, but it's doing it in tandem so you experience the opposite, and you have the possibility of cranking it up as high as 16 watts(assuming your device can do so) and getting twice as much performance as your single coil, which if you cranked up to 16 watts is probably just going to burn up. Dual coils, however, require a lot more amperage to push that wattage, which will kill your batteries faster, and can even flat out kill low capacity batteries. Don't use them on anything under 1000mAh is a good rule of thumb, not if you want the device/battery to keep working.

The pros are they both mute flavor.
The cons are they both mute flavor.
Get a Fogger 4.0 RBA. It will change your world.
If you want---or just ignore my suggestion.

i have just purchased a fogger v4 and omg its amazing, i am running a duel coil at 1.5 ohms and the vapour and flavour production is amazing
I've been using Protank 3 clearomizers for quite awhile. The stock coils are dual coil, and the flavor does seem a bit muted, as well as the temperature being too low. I rewrap my old coils to a single coil wicked with cotton, and the flavor is better than stock. The heat is higher than stock because you can turn the power up higher than stock. I wish I had PT2 to compare, since they are stock single coils.
Yes the fogger is a beast even with just a single coil build in it.
I don't think double coils are needed- they just heat the juice faster and can overheat your juice on longer pulls. The double bottom coil tanks I've tried so far (Kanger Evod glass and Innokin Iclear 16) have a rank flavor- though I've read of various causes on this forum of the rank flavor many experience with Kanger BDC tanks- maybe I can remedy. Maybe I'll convert to a single coil and rewick- if that doesnt do it I'm done with kanger BDC tanks. My top single coil Halo triton tank has pretty good flavor most of the time. I don't agree that clearo tanks can't deliver a good vape. And what other option is there for people who don't want to refill or "drip" often or use something as big as a flashlight?
