Vape: Which One Should 
You Use?
Factors to Consider Before Choosing a Vape
● Power consumption
● Heat production
● Consumption of e-liquid
● Production of vapor
● Flavor delivery
● The process of building coil, et al.
What is Single Coil and Dual Coil Vape
● A single coil comes with one coil while a dual coil comes with two coils.
● Single coil set up vaporizes the e-liquid slowly consuming less power
● Dual coil vaporizes quickly, producing more vapor, and consuming a lot of 
power.
Single Coils is ideal for:
● Want to save power
● Newbie vapers
● Loves to stealth vaping
Dual Coils is ideal for:
● Cloud chasers
● Switching from smoking to vaping

● Power Consumption
if you’re looking for a vape that saves your battery charge, then you may be 
required to consider a single coil build. Switching from a single to a dual coil will 
reduce your battery life by half, while the opposite will double your battery life.
● Heat/Temperature
A single coil configuration does consume/require less power, which produces less 
heat. In dual coil configuration, the surface area of the metal is increased; more 
power is required hence more heat is generated.

● Vapor Production
Single coil vapes/RDAs/RTAs are ideal vaping devices for people going for stealth 
as the vapor produced by these type of set up has less density. On the other 
hand, dual coil vapes/RDAs are ideal devices for cloud chasers as they generate 
huge, and much denser clouds of vapor.
● Flavor Production
A single coil configuration generates a better and even more palpable flavor 
compared to setups with several coils. When multiple coils are configured, more 
airflow should be created to allow easy vaporization

● Battery Life
A dual coil configuration has a larger surface area and consumes more wattage 
that a single coil set up is a valid reason that more power is drained from the 
battery. A single coil configuration is indeed a battery saving mode. It has a small 
surface area on its single coil implying less power is required to heat the e-juice 
to vaporize.
● Consumption of e-Juice
The amount of e-juice consumed is proportional to the number of coils. In other 
words, the bigger the surface area of the coil in contact with e-juice, the more the 
amount of juice consumed. A dual coil configuration will vaporize twice as much 
e-liquid as a typical single coil configuration. With a dual coil vape, you are 
certainly sucking your e-juice two times as fast as when using a single coil RTA or 
RDA

● Ease of Coil Build
It is obvious a simple single coil build would be much easier to do some work on 
than a dual coil build. Now, when working on a dual coil build, the two coils must 
be gotten identical, to enable harmonious performance.
