This depends on the layout of your build deck and how the coils fit in to the posts.ģ) When you select ‘Build Deck Configuration’ to ‘Dual’ the results will show you need to build 2 coils, each at twice the resistance of the overall deck resistance. Full wraps means the coil legs are pointing in the opposite direction. The 19/18 rounded half wraps that shows on our calculator means you’d need to wrap both your coils this amount of times.Ģ) Rounded half wraps means the coil legs point in the same direction. Ideally you want around 6 wraps per coil to be able to fit in between the deck posts. Thanks for the comment and really happy to hear you like the calculator! Hopefully the info below answers all your questions…ġ) Using twisted kanthal on a dual build deck to achieve an overall deck resistance of 0.4 or 0.5ohm will mean too many wraps for your build deck. Thanks again for all the time and effort you’ve put into this site. As an avionics / electronics / instrument tech with 44 years in the field, I really appreciate good technical writing. I had no idea…and…essentially no juice! Duh! With a little tweak to the ports the wicks were wide open and the clouds are in the air! At 36W on the Argus GT with the tank set up correctly I can practically blank out the screen on my laptop with one 2.0 second puff. It turns out that his tank allows you to shut off juice flow. So, back to the Internet for more information. I knew it was me, despite the low cost of the tank, because the Vertex Plus has good reviews. After trying just about every combination of wattage, TC and air flow, the best I could get was maybe 3 puffs before I had that lovely burnt cotton taste. Pre-soaked the wicks, assembled the tank and had similar results, albeit better than before. I did all the prep / wicking meticulously. I plugged in the numbers aiming for a 0.3Ω dual coil build. One of the first things that came up in my search was your site. So I tore it all apart, washed the tank and started over. They were awful! No matter what I tried, smart mode, power mode, TC, it resulted in dry hits. I pre-fired them, tweaked them with ceramic tweezers to eliminate hot-spots, wicked them with Cotton Bacon Prime and pre-soaked both wicks with juice.


They came in at 0.18Ω on my Argus GT (just based on guess work).

My first “seat-of-the-pants” attempt was a couple of 6 turn 26 ga. But I found a Vertex Plus RTA for a ridiculously low price and thought I’d try my hand. Thank you so much for this calculator (and all the other resources on this site)! I’m new to DIY coils and RTAs, having started my vaping journey with factory verticals and pod systems.
