Why do you use single coil vs dual coil?

[Don29palms]

Let me start off that I'm not saying one is better than the other. I personally prefer dual coils. I like bigger clouds and I make my own juice so flavor is always there. When I do make single coils they are huge coils that are comparable to a dual coil anyway. I'm just interested why you prefer single vs dual coils? Enlighten me!

My reason for single coils--actually because I pretty much despise building. I don't mind winding the coil, but I'd like to hire out the coil mounting. I have other things to do that I really like doing, such as restoring cast iron and other piddly stuff.

I'm still using a coil I made last July.

Do you really get that much larger clouds?

I prefer single coil attys.

Lower Juice consumption
Longer battery life.

I'm about staying off the stinkies and not trying to impress people.

Yes I get much better clouds and a more satifying vape for me with dual coils. I'm not trying to impress anyone either.

I use both. All depends on the tank. Some are best with dual, some with single.

There is no right or wrong answer.

Its all about doing what is necessary to stay off the stinkies.

What really ticks me off us these young Bucks that never smoked but blowing clouds like they are in a cloud comp.

I prefer single coils. I haven't tried my hand at duel coils yet and not sure I ever will, then again I didn't think I'd like TC mode and turns out I really enjoy it. That's one of the things I like about vaping, so many choices.

Like @Eskie said it depends on the topper. My Griffin and drippers only work good with dual coils. My KF5 is designed for single coil. I've been building so long that making two coils isn't really an issue. I've got 12 18650s, plus two lipo mods, so power isn't an issue .

Uno ... I'm lazy

 

[Grimwald]

Just simplicity. I started building on Kayfuns and igo-L and have stuck with that type. I've tried some dual coil builds, but most of those devices are STL types that just don't fit my style.

I also still rebuild Protanks coils and Joyetech CLR coils and those are single coil devices.

I Heart my Dual Coil builds, it took me a long time to find my perfect vape and i started teeny tiny low watt single coil builds. Found my ideal vape at Dual coil 26 awg 4mm ID 6 wrap at ~50 watts (using TC replaced with SS316L same style at 400F now )

 

[sorrynomore]

Single coils in Kayfun lite clones for me.

Well just to let you know I am not a youngster. I'm an old man. I agree if you want to toodle vape or blow huge clouds or anything in between do so. I'm all about freedom of choice.

 

[dobroeutro]

I like simple & a single 24g SS316L 3mm coil around .3-.5ohms @ 25-30W/400-450F gives me everything I need...

Careful i got the run around when i said something like this, granted i titled the thread after it because of noob non smokers coming in wanting all the tips and tricks to blowing huge clouds and it really erked me

 

[Don29palms]

I started building ego clearomizer coils and nautilus coils to get better vapor production. When I got my first mech mod and RTA I was hooked on the clouds and haven't looked back since. I have matured and now really like tc but I still like clouds.

I like single coils - less mass to heat up and less juice consumption (all the vapor I need). Less winding, wicking, complicated and up keep.

If a single coils works for you why bother with duals?

If a single coil tripped my trigger i would never have evolved to where i am now
i started with 34 gauge worked my way to 28 single coils was never enough then tried (succeeded in) putting dual coils on single coil rta's (kayfuns) noticeable improvements yet still lacking needed better attys so moved on I chain vape (similar to how i smoked i hotboxed the hell out of cigs to down a 100 in 2 min or less)

I used to prefer dual coils to singles back in the mech mod era, ohhhhh a couple years back . To get the watts I wanted back then I had to run low enough resistance and duals helped with that.

These days I vape regulated exclusively. With these resistance doesn't affect watts so that's out of the picture. Yes, wire gauge is a huge factor, but I generally like the robustness of thicker wire. But my opinion on that has changed over time too

These days I use both dual and single coil builds depending on the atty. My two favorite atties right now are the Rose V3 and the Boreas. They are very different beasts. The Rose is a single coil atty I've currently got set up using 28 gauge Kanthal at 1.5 ohms and vape it between 15-20 watts depending on the juice and my mood. The Boreas is a huge atty that IMO needs dual coils to work well. I've got a 24 gauge build in it right now at 0.25 ohms I vape between 35-40 watts that gives me absolutely exquisite flavor. I'm pretty sure I could tone down the Boreas for a bit less power and tone up the Rose for a bit more, but for now I like both where they are. I also really like my Aqua V2 with dual 31 gauge Kanthal coils at 1.3 ohms between 14-18 watts.

IMO you can get pretty much the same clouds, flavor and TH from both single a dual setups ... but not in the same atty. It's really atty specific. For me the number of coils don't matter, they are just different ways to get a good vape if they are done right.

So I guess I prefer both single and dual coil builds. I know, I'm weird

I have`nt vaped a single coil in like two years. I like the "action" a dual coil set up produces.
