My first attempt at a dual coil for subtank mini

26g kanthal
6 wraps
0.40ohm @ 32w

Working like a dream, great flavour!

WOW!!!!!!!!!! I didn't even know that was possible!!!! me thinks if my friends leave me be this weekend then I will have to play around a bit and try it out! do you just pop the coil legs in on either sides of the screws? :)
 
Yea it works so well, checked some different methods on youtube and went with the one i did as it looked the easiest.
Took almost an hour and alot of tinkering to get both coils under the screws. Not sure about which side of the screw it should be ;)
It hasn't blown up or anything, so any advise from the forum would be appreciated if this is not correct.
 
did you wick both coils separately, or one wick for both? sorry, might be considered a bit of a silly question, but just needed to ask :)

Got mine running like that now for the past two weeks and no issues. The airflows also improved as the coils leave a nice gap above the airflow tube(couldn't remember what its called)

I hear you on the tinkering. That's the only tricky part. Try to adjust one coil & the other moves out of place lol
 
Yea placing the coils takes some doing and steady hands, but worth the effort for the flavour u get
 
I put coils right next to each other and wicked through both at once, working perfectly
 
That looks great! Is this on the stock RBA base that comes with the Subtank Mini? Wouldn't mind giving it a try on mine when I finally get around to attempting to figure out coil building
 
Yea it's the stock rba I got with my subox mini kit, will be attemtping a SS 316L double coil as soon as I get some time and give it a go on vtc mini
 
I was waiting for a post on dual coil build in a subtank mini.

Looks amazing - I might just try this, SOON.

Thanks for the share

OH JA, can you perhaps post some more photos? Maybe another without the wicking and one or two with the coils wicked?
 
As soon as I build my next dual coil, I will put up some more pics. Enjoying this setup first for a bit before I build again :)
 
Here are some more pics

Hi guys very interested and want to try. I somehow missed coil diameter.Please help
 
Now this is cool.
I have experimented with claptons and tiger coils in my subtank mini RBA but never thought of doing a dual coil.
Thanks for giving me something to do this weekend...lol
 
:rock: Uber cool build ! Nice one, I've tried this several times and it's always ended with failure and profanity :rolleyes:
 
My next build for subtank mini,
26g kanthal quad coil
9 wraps around a paperclip, will setup and test on monday

@MetalGearX did a dual coil in my kanger rba (see pics above). Though its a great vape at 38w, it drained my battery super fast. Had a major power failure in my area last night and only had 1 fully charged battery out of 3 left, so I changed back to a single coil. I think I will leave my dual coil builds for my crius and stick to a single coil in my rba's. The flavour and cloud production is in my opinion still better in the crius. Have fun experiminting guys!
