Correct... kind of. If all of your connections are VERY good, you will get approximately the same current/power as having separate coils. It just vapes very differently as your surface area, distribution of wire mass etc is very different.

Mathematically, they're similar. But they are in no way the same.

well yes and no. When doing the numbers of ohm, watts and amps drawn, it doesn't matter whether those 2 or three wires are twisted together or mounted separately. take 2 wires wrapping separate coils measuring 1 ohm each, and mounting them in a dual coil set up, you will get a reading now of .5 ohms. Take the same 2 wires twist them tightly together making one coil, what do you get, a single coil make of 2 stands, each individually measuring 1 ohm each now measure .5 ohms, just like as if they were mounted individually in parallel. Both demanding the same amps from the battery, both delivering the same total amount of watts. Your battery doesn't care whether they are mounted separately or twisted together, all it does is supply the demand that the ohms require.

So far as battery safety, reading ohms and inherently increase danger, both are equal in that respect, both deserve the same consideration, and can have no other relevance when you apply ohm's law. mathematically, they are exactly the same. Two wires, one end of each going to the positive post, the other two ends of each going to the negative post. So yeah, don't believe I gave any misinformation or misnomers or added to any confusion.

If you can mathematically disprove what I am saying, then you would be demonstrating that ohm's law is not valid, and would love to see the proof.

Vape the same, no, never said that, need the same consideration for battery amp draw and safety, the same. mathematically, for watts delivered and amps drawn from the battery, they are exactly the same. Same could be said of a thicker single wire coil of the same ohm reading. Is it going to vape the same a dual or twisted of the same ohm build? no, of course not, not even going to vape the same as a twisted, because a twisted, as you pointed out, will have a different surface to wick distribution then a single strand. But all three need to be given the same due consideration when applied to battery safety.

Yes, the resistance of a twisted 30 coil will resemble that of 2 non-twisted coils. However, it's still not a dual coil... just a SLR single coil. Semantics, I know. But true none the less.
