So...for my iClear 16 Dual Coil Clearomizer with 2.1 ohm head I should use the 4.2 ohm line on the chart to figure the setting for my Vision Spinner?

Yes. But many DC users like it on the cool side of the acceptable range. YMMV. Also note that devices have amp limits.
So 2.1 ohms at say 5.5 volts (IDK what range the Spinner has) is about 2.6 amps. So it depends on if the device can handle the amps. Make sense?
Maybe it maxes out a 4.8 volts. If so, try that. If it objects, dial it down a step at a time until it works. However, you may not like DC on that then depending on the voltage that works.
Basically, you're trying to power two 4.2 ohm coils at the same time.
P.S.
lol. Neither chart has a 4.2 ohm range......
Here's another one (not my chart...it's from www.evcigarettes[dot]com):

FWIW: The electronic term that applies to dual coil atomizers is Parallel wiring. It means that both coils are wired as if they are side by side and the leads twisted together making one coil. If two 3 ohm coils were wired in parallel, they would read 1.5 ohms together.
The alternative would be Series wiring. That means the coils would be laid end to end and wired together. I know of no ecig atomizer that does this. If two 3 ohm coils were wired in series, you would read 6 ohms on the assembly.
I looked for a blowup of a dual coil atty and found only a couple that were confusing to look at the way the wiring was done.

Don't you love it when you get a straight answer!
The answer is yes.
To have a total resistance of 2.1Ω, they will have two 4.2Ω coils in the head. The confusion comes from people taking it to mean that it's two 2.1Ω coils in there. I wish vendors/manufacturers would list the resistances as "Total Resistance" with dual coil devices to clear up some of the confusion, but unfortunately, they just list it as "resistance."
Courtesy of Madvapes.com. Between the two coils the wire connects to the negative terminal. It's a little confusing because the two coils are connected in an arrangement that suits a cartomizer, but the remaining two terminals go to positive. If each coil were 3.2 ohms, the total resistance would be 1.6 ohms. This is what I meant by confusing diagrams.
If you follow each wire, you'll see that the center connection between the coils goes to negative (ground) and the outside of the coils both go to the positive connection on the adapter.

I believe that's what I indicated. They list it at 2.1 ohm, which would be a total of 2.1 ohms.
They are 4.2 ohm coils. So you would use the 4.2 ohm row, not the 2.1 ohm row, to find the appropriate voltage.
Right, but you have to treat each coil separately when looking at how much current it needs and how much current it can take. That's the point of the power chart. Coil A doesn't care that Coil B is there. If you don't send Coil A enough current by setting the voltage high enough, it's not going to get hot and produce much vapor. The reverse it true, as well. Coil A isn't going to care that Coil B is there if you try to send it too much current, either.
Each coil is going to handled the voltage independently.
Now, the total resistance will tell you how much wattage (power) is produced by the unit as a whole. This can be useful for checking to make sure your battery can produce enough watts to actually send the voltage to all the coils hooked up to it, but assuming the battery is powerful enough, you just need to make sure the voltage is correct for the resistance of each coil.
