Sooo on a 0.15 ohm coil, 60watts sounds okay right? then if I use a dual coil automizer and use two .15 ohm coils, am I suppose to boost up my wattage to 120??

I would slowly up the watts from 60. Any reason you think this type of setup would be any better tasting than say just staying with a single coil until you learn more of what you are doing? Bigger or higher isn't always better.
Not for me, I like it just fine.
There is very little difference between watt mode and temp mode at 6.5 watts,both are equally enjoyable for me.I have a few kayfun lites that I still use with full metal jacket and temp mode lets me know when to refill.
The relationship-between wattage and resistance is often not linear. I would not "assume" anything about your new resistance other than you just need to slowly prime it and find a good vape FOR YOU. It may or may not be 120 but the best way to find out is to prime it normally and go from there. Stop when it's good.
I vaped 120 watts ONCE. To be fair, it was by accident and a tiny nautilus coil, long story, but I did not enjoy the vape and my coil was torched in an instant.
Good luck,
Anna

This tip may help you as a guideline. Yes, resistance, juice, airflow all make a difference. But for many people somewhere between 3.8 and 4.2 VOLTS tends to be their sweet spot in regards to flavour, vapour production, and temp regardless of the coil and af. Most mods will show voltage in a smaller font when you hold down the fire button. So adjust your airflow first to get the kind of pull you like. Then play with your fire button putting up or down wattage till you find 3.8. Take a few puffs and see, do you like the taste, heat, production? Put it a bit up or down to see the differences and find what is best for you I need that juice and tank. Again that is a guideline, some folks like 3 volts, some like 6 or whatever. Over time you will get a feel for what works best for you with what juice. For me, I usually like my fruits lower I find they taste more realistic in general where higher they often get more candy/sweet but for coffee juices for example I like them higher and hotter to get that coffee dark roasted flavour. Hth
Oh okay, thanks! I forgot about the flavor haha sometimes when I vape tho, some of the ejuice sparks to my mouth, is that normal?
Thank you for you reply! It definitly helped me to know more about coils and volts. The RDA I currently use has dual 0.15 resistance coils. Can I try to put maybe a 2.0 ohms coils on it and lower the wattage output?? To be honest I thought coils with higher resistance are mainly for pod kits...
Sparks to the mouth = ouch-not necessarily a good or bad thing(but one that needs to be corrected), it means that too much ejuice is sitting on top of the coil not being vaporized. You can correct this problem by upping the watts 1 or 2 clicks to see if that helps to slow/stop it. OR if you are building/wicking your own/pre-made coil there is not enough cotton inside the coil to absorb the juice as it is being fed from the tank.
Hot spitting ejuice is not fun and can burn your lips, tongue, face.......not too enjoyable in my book. lol
Thank you for much for typing all that to answer my questions! I really appreciate it. Like you said, I usually dont use enough cotton inside the coils because it was easier to put through less cotton into the coils.... I will try to work on my skills of customization...I honestly thought the ejuice sparks because the wattage was too high hahaSparks to the mouth = ouch-not necessarily a good or bad thing(but one that needs to be corrected), it means that too much ejuice is sitting on top of the coil not being vaporized.

LOL of course is easier to put less cotton/rayon through the center. What you need to do is thread the cotton though the coil and slowly/gently pull on left leg as you are turning/twisting the right side, compressing it down to the size of the hole in the coil. Once you get a good size tail on the left side, you can stop and proceed as usual to finish up sitting it up to vape.
There are lots of you tube videos showing how this is done.
to You Tube and search "How to build and wick a xxxx". and put in what kind of tank you are building/wicking to replace the xxxx
depends what you like Im using a melo 3 mini at 50W with 0.3 coils (ECL SS314L), a Merlin RTDA on 40 with dual 0.7 Clapton(A1 30GA - N80 26Ga if memory serves..) , and a Zeus single on 23 with a single 0.55 coil N80(26GA) with an asmodus minikin v2. On the other mods i use whatever i want atm, but these are tested out on the asmodus..

LOL even if I had a replay mod (I don't, but it's the latest and greatest TC DNA thing) you can't have it! (I'm just kidding.)
There are many many things that can make a coil spit. Flooding after filling for one, not being at quite the right wattage (oddly to MUCH and TOO little can cause this) coil break in, tank generally, a faulty coil. @Baditude has a nice little review of some of the known offender causes, maybe he can chime in although I should just look and see if there's a link to his blog but I've already you know summoned him etc.
It's usually fixable is the main takeaway.
Good luck,

Flooding is a common occurrence in e-cigarettes. The definition of flooding is getting juice into the air passage of the tank. This can include any point between the mouth piece and the very bottom part that connects to the battery. Each tank has holes in that air passage, where the wicks passthrough. This is required for the device to work properly. Unfortunately, this opens up the possibility for flooding. The trick with flooding, is knowing how to avoid it. I’ll explain a little more, but a few common causes for flooding a tank include: improper filling, over filling, pulling too hard when hitting the device, and the temperature can even play a role and/or damage.
Before I get into the explanation, let me explain how an e-cig works a little more in depth. Nearly every tank has a wick that is used to absorb the juice in the tank. This wick cuts through the air passage. Each wick has a piece of wire that wraps around it in a coil. When you activate the button on the battery, you send electricity through the wire. As the wire heats up, it vaporizes the juice that is in the wick.
Improper Filling: When filling your tank, you have to be careful not to get juice into the center tube of the tank. This center tube is the air passage. When you take a draw, air comes from the bottom of the tank, through the air passage and into your mouth. If you get juice into this passage way, your tank is flooded.
Over Filling: If you over fill a tank (specifically a top coil like the ones that come with the starter kits and gift boxes), the wicks can become over saturated and just like a rain cloud, they will leak into the air passage. Once this happens, you have a flooded tank.
Pulling Too Hard: As I mentioned the wicks absorb the juice in the tank. As you "pull" on the device, you cause a vacuum effect that pulls juice into the wicks. If you pull too hard, you can pull in more juice then the coil can vaporize. If this happens, the juice leaks into the air passage and you have a flooded tank.
Temperature: E-Juice is a viscous liquid. Which means that as it warms up, it will thin out. And in the opposite form, it will thicken when it gets cold. When it thins, it is more difficult for the wicks to hold back the thin juice. This usually causes the wicks to over saturate and, you guessed it, it will leak into the air passage and you have a flooded tank.
Damage: There are o-rings and gaskets used that can wear out with usage. If certain ones fail or get lost, leaking will occur, in turn flooding the air passage and causing you to have a flooded tank. Other than accidentally losing something, damage can occur when its carried in a purse or a pocket or by over tightening the tank to the battery. Over tightening is a very common cause of leaking due to the damage it creates.
High res for salts is kind of a "new fangled" thing as salts are a new innovation. I'm pretty old school, been vaping since 2005 so to ME I still think of a 1.2 ohm coil as low resistance lol. It's a general rule, but most folks who prefer mtl vaping use high resistance and low watts. We get called tootle puffers. To me, I get more vapour from my beloved kayfun or berserker with a 1 ohm ish coil somewhere between 10-20w then I ever did from the old stinkys and I'm happy cause it tastes good and isn't hot. I frankly have so much scarring in my lungs fro repeated bronchitis when smoking that I'll never be comfortable with dl and never be able to put out champion clouds. I can do clouds sure but frankly I'm stubborn and don't enjoy it, I really love flavour and to me, my tastebuds are in my mouth, so I like to let my vapour hang out there before hitting my lungs and I max my taste by exhaling through my nose usually.
For the spitback issue if it's wicking, try to get a neat little product called cotn threads. Only limitation is you need to wrap on 3mm. Not saying you need to use them all the time, but one pack might help you get a feel for how much cotton is the right amount and how it should look, feel and perform. Sometimes a little vg added to juice in the hot summer weather can help the issue too.
Vape happy and vape on!
