vaping_jake Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 So what is your preference on coils do like rda's with vertical builds or horizontal. Any reason why? flavorcloudsease of build For myself; all my builds have been vertical only, i did order an RDA with horizontal build so i will try it then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Interesting topic. I'm looking forward to hearing what others prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeF Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Personally I have only built horizontal coils, but tried one vertical coil in my kayfun v4. I wasn't impressed, probably because I didn't have the patience to fiddle with it to get it set up properly. Now as far as pre-built factory coils without having to build my own,nothing beats the Nautilus vertical coils, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonculp Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I do both. The biggest flavor I have ever got was using a dual twisted vertical .25 ohm coil in a Tobh. The only problem was the wicking. It was a bit slow unless I dripped directly on the wick. I bought the 454 big block to make use of the vertical coil, the only problem is the horizontal seem to taste better in it. I have been tempted to try one in my SubTank Mini. I have read about people doing them, but no one seems to have perfected it. I guess after this long ramble... I guess it just depends on what mood hits me. I do think the horizontal with both ends of the wick in the juice wicks better, of course this is only my opinion.

Tug Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I haven't built a vertical coil in a really long time.I personally don't see much difference in flavor between vertical & horizontal.But the vertical coil acts like a smoke stack and seems to produce a little more vapor IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaping_jake Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Edit my OP.... i have only built horizontal coils, i got a aria orion rda so i can play with vertical builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i can tell about wics is that you build has the cotton wrapped from top to bottom like a horse shoe and in one piece going thru both coils. so when you drip it goes directly to the cotton. then i assume gravity feeds down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gag8tor Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I know as far as stock coils go I like my Aspire and Horizon coils of the vertical variety. Maybe my next RBA will be vertical capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rixter Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I honestly can't tell any difference in performance between the two. For me, it really just comes down to what fits best in whichever RDA I'm building in. At the moment: Veritas - dual vertical Infinite CLT V1 - dual horizontal Igo-W - dual horizontal IGO-L - single horizontal Smok Dripper - single vertical Edited March 17, 2015 by Rixter jasonculp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaping_jake Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Rixter, do you build them all equally in resistance value? or coil size depends on spacing? what makes you pick dual coil for one vs single coil for another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rixter Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Rixter, do you build them all equally in resistance value? or coil size depends on spacing? what makes you pick dual coil for one vs single coil for another. I currently use five different RBAs, and they range in resistance from .4Ω to .9Ω. The lower resistance setups are a little too intense for regular use, but I do enjoy the occasional fog bank & flavor they produce. For my all day setup, however, I prefer something just under 1Ω, and I like it to be a single coil because I don't have to hit it with as much power as I would on a multiple-coil setup, which gives me more vape time between charges. Lately, the setup I vape at work all day is a Smok Dripper RDA (.9Ω single vertical coil and Japanese organic cotton wick) on a Smok Xpro M50 (65 watt model) set to 17 watts. As far as why I choose single over dual coils, it really depends on the number of air intakes on each RDA's top cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I do mostly horizontal coils. I have some plans to do some vertical coil rebuilds for the Aspire heads, just haven't found the time yet. I still have some other things on my plate that need finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gag8tor Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 So Rixter. How's the x Pro? I saw one in a shop a couple of weeks ago and liked it. Liked it more when I saw one online for under 40 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rixter Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) I love it and it's been really reliable. I really like the fact that it's got a USB charge port that charges the battery (Sony VTC4) super fast with a 5V-2A wall charger. I'd recommend one to anyone looking for a small but powerful box mod.

gag8tor Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Yeah. I have a MVP 20 watt and want a 30W but this thing looks and feels really slick. Plenty of power for what I want to do. I like the built in charging. I don't want to buy a charger if I can avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gag8tor Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) I've just heard some mixed reviews about it. Most sounding like user error to me. Edited March 19, 2015 by gag8tor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaping_jake Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 not at all gag8tor, any conversation that evolves is just a great conversation. i actually think we may need a section on coils only. so many different types and builds to discuss. also would be a great place to answer safety questions on x sub ohms, surface area blah blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the built in charging. I don't want to buy a charger if I can avoid it. If you get another istick get the 50W. I have the 30W and wish I would have got the 50 because it will stay charged all day for me, the 30 dosnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
