kerk Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Is that like burning the candle at both ends? What's the beni of dual coils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernGirl Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I'd be interested in hearing the answer to this. I just ordered and received a box of 5 Vision Clearomizers and i was surprised to see that they're dual coil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffb Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Twice as much coil area, twice as much vapor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerk Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Twice as much coil area, twice as much vapor. But, does it kill your battery twice as fast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcartervol98 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I wouldn't think so, I would think the voltage would be constant in draining the battery and just be split between the two coils but that's just a theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, the battery is 'sending' the voltage, the coils aren't pulling it. But if that's the case, I would think being split between two coils means half voltage to each, thus = to full voltage to one, so what's the diff? We need an electronic geek to chime in on this.

Jeffb Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 All things being equal I would think a 1.3 ohm dual coil would drain a batt twice as fast as a 2.6 ohm coil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Yes but you would have to factor in less "on" time for the dual coil....unless you're a glutton for vapor, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerk Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) All things being equal I would think a 1.3 ohm dual coil would drain a batt twice as fast as a 2.6 ohm coil Don't you mean twice as fast as 'one' 1.3 ohm coil? I hope this gets resolved soon, it has my next order on hold. Edited August 10, 2013 by kerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffb Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 The number of coils isnt the issue its the overall resistance (ohms) of the coils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerk Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 The number of coils isnt the issue its the overall resistance (ohms) of the coils Well yes, but I assume 2-1.3's = 1-2.6 in resistance, so it wouldn't drain 'twice' as fast, it would drain equally as fast.

Jeffb Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Its the overall resistance thats the issue. A dual coil with an overall resitance of 1.3ohm is not equal to an single coil at 2.6 ohm. When you order a dual coil they are listed by the overall ohm not the ohm rating of each individual coil.

IMEDICx90 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 ok a dual coil does NOT drain your battery faster. In fact it will save your battery life by about 1/4 of the time. Your creating the same resistance with less strain on the battery. It uses more surface area to heat therefore it fires and heats up quicker and uses less amperage out of the battery. The increased surface area also improves the vapor and throat hit. most people that build RBA's and the like prefer a dual coil because it responds faster but allows them to get the same warm vape that they get from a 2.4 ohm single coil with two 1.2 ohm dual coils. does that make any sense?

kerk Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Okay, Its the overall resistance thats the issue. A dual coil with an overall resitance of 1.3ohm is not equal to an single coil at 2.6 ohm. When you order a dual coil they are listed by the overall ohm not the ohm rating of each individual coil. Okay, got it. I was thinking that the ohm rating was for 'each' of the 2 coils, not the total. So a dual coil simply puts more wire in contact with the juice, but doesn't require anymore voltage. I would think the same result could be had from 'one' coil, twice as large. Now I can order. Edited August 10, 2013 by kerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMEDICx90 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 it requires less voltage to produce the same as its single coil counterpart. it has less resistance overall. a 1.2 coil + a 1.2 coil equals about 2.0 ohms overall. I dont understand the math but something about the dual negatives cancel out the need for the current to travel equally through both and activate the positives at the exact same time... lol im still learning it. maybe i need to go into electrical school for all this crap. haha!
