Hi what causes one coil to heat up faster than the other? I've checked all my terminals, leg lengths are pretty much the same. I'm using tri core fused Clapton's, ohming at .13 using a vault rda on the Tesla invader 3. The material is all ka1

If one Coil's loops are touching each other and another Coil's aren't, that can effect the way the Coil Heats Up.

Current takes the shortest route.. One 'route' is shorter than the other, most likely due to leg lenght like these guys abive have said. If your legs are stacked on one another in the clamp/hole, thatll do it too (but not by much). Did you wrap the coils yourself? One may be wrapped tighter than the other, and when youre talking .13 Ω that little bit can mean a .2 difference between coils

I have that happen when I accidentally twist one coil leg a little too much.

Indeed, in a multicore wire, this causes slight difference in the way the cores contact on another, and if the other one is not the same, at a .13 Ω, it makes a difference. But i dont think this is his problem on the Vault RDA..

Well, uneven glowing means the coils aren't even. How you even them up is gonna depend on what's wrong.

I will say, probably, unless you're wanting this for TC or something, contact coils MIGHT be easier. Did you wrap them yourself? I'm going to guess it's either leg length or how evenly wrapped your coils are, this is one reason I don't particularly care for dual coil atomizers frankly. But by trial and error, you should be able to figure it out.

Oh that's right, we're talking about a different build of deck. I have the Zeus Dual RTA with the most cantankerous and difficult screws ever.

Not to Split Hairs. But Current (and Voltage!) actually follows All Possible paths described by Kirchhoff’s Current Laws.

Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) | Divider Circuits And Kirchhoff's Laws | Electronics Textbook

It just Doesn't do it with the Same Rate of Flow.
