BigDan Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I'm new to Rebuildables but I have read a lot and I watch Rip Trippers constantly.Is if I am doing a dual coil build do both coils need to have the same resistance? I would think they would have to be.Can I put two different kinds of coils in a dual coil build? Example- a 28ga micro coil and a tin man coil or a 28ga nano coil and an agro coil? Not sure if there would be an issueLast question for now, should I test my resistance with a multimeter or should I buy one of the 510 connection resistance checker?

Joshuab3687 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 If you're gonna be building dual coil setups, they need to be the same (i.e. same style and/or same number of wraps) If not, one coil could go hotter than the other to the point it melts right off the post and could cause a hard short, which could be very bad for the battery inside you mod! It's best to have an Ohms checker for your coil building. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vispera Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 It would be hard to melt a coil off a post and they dont have to be the exact same but you wont get that good of a vape if one is getting hotter then the other and yes use a 510 ohm checker always when building and make sure your batteries can handle the build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It flared up red before the other one did and instead of glowing from the inside out, it started at the post sides and melted the negative lead off. As soon as it happened, I immediately spun the bottom batt cap off and dropped the batt out to check it. Luckily enough, the battery didn't get ruined or anything, but now that one battery is in my exclusion pile. I've seen guys using two different style coils on the same rda, but until a new builder gets more experience, I wouldn't recommend it.

Vispera Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 No its not and I would also recommend just a single coil to start its always good to start slow wire is cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I love Temco! Cheap wire alll day long! Just ordered another 100 ft of 32,30,28 and 0.5 ribbon each. I've got that RDA itch and I intend to scratch the hell out of it! Vispera 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDan Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Thank you guys so much, I really appreciate it. I guess that's why people twist different wires to make coils rather than having two different coils. I plan on starting with single coil builds, my girlfriend just bought me my first RDA, a Trident V2, which fortunately had airflow for single or dual coils. Again thank you so much.

Joshuab3687 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I just started into the twisted coil builds. I'm gonna be getting into some more tricky twists next w/e. Gonna try the Flat Bast*rd coil next. I'm in the hunt for flavor. If vapor is improved... Great! I'll take it! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
