Side By Side Dual Coil.

[TylerD]

As requested by @vaalboy , here is a quick picture tutorial on how to make the side by side dual coil.

I used 28g kanthal. Take a strand of wire and double it with a loop.


Press it together so the two strands are next to each other


I used a 1.5mm drill bit to wrap around.



The first wrap is a bit hard to get tight, but after that it gets easier.
As you wrap the coil run you thumb with the wire against the drill bit.



You can see the first wrap is a bit "loose".


Cut the loop and you have a coil.



All you need to do now is insert into the posts and pulse it and squeeze it with some tweezers till it is nice and tight and glows from the inside out.

I hope this helps!

Awesome, thanks @TylerD. Definitely going to give this a bash. My logic says if I am using 7 wraps and get a 1.1 ohm coil then 14 wraps (7 per strand) should give me the same using this method?

Correctomundo! And 14 wraps are almost going to fill the surface.

I assume having more coil area heating the wick improves the amount of vapor production?

Kewlbeans, going to give this a bash now.

Sounds right. But you might have trouble fitting so many wraps on the RM2, maybe try 30g, which should have less wraps.

Okidoks, quickly wrapped one. First came in at 0.7 but wrapped back 1 and got 0.8. Took a bit longer to position but after adding a nice looong cotton wick and it's definitely a warmer vape with more clouds. A massive thank you to @TylerD for sharing this.

That looks great - and this from a guy who wrapped his very first coil just the other day. Goes to show, coiling is nothing to be afraid of!
