Carto Question

[kgoallthewaygo]

single coils vs. dual coils. any pros n cons? ive only dealt with dual. lookin to find my sweet spot as it were.

Neither work for me. I know from experience that dual coils drain your battery quicker than a single coil. Both work well....when they work.

I believe dual coils burn a bit hotter so a warmer vape.

actually what drains your battery is a low resistance cartomizer. whether it's dual or single coil or not has nothing to do with it. it's the total resistance that tells you whether or not your battery is going to work hard.

for example, a 1.5ohm single coil carto will drain your battery faster than a 1.7ohm dual coil carto.

and actually, dual coil's do not necessarily burn hotter than a single coil, here's how a dual coils resistance is figured.

if you have a 1.5ohm dual coil carto that means that you have two 3.0ohm coils running in parallel for a total resistance of 1.5ohms. 3.0ohm coils do not burn hot unless it's on a higher voltage device, but you can't really run 1.5ohms on a 5v battery (very effectively anyways), so at 3.7v (which is what a 1.5ohm carto should run at) the vapor from a dual coil 1.5ohm carto is really just like sucking in the vapor from 2 3.0ohm coils which is not hot at all.

the advantage of dual coils is not that they produce warm vapor, it's that because they have more "coil surface" they produce more vapor.

if you want lots of vapor on a low voltage device use a dual coil carto.

if you want warm vapor (and a decent amount of vapor) on a low voltage device, use a single coil carto with low resistance.

hope that clears it up for ya.
