I've always used 4 wrap 24 G dual coils and every now and again mix it up with Dual parallel with 24 g and a friend of mine showed me his vertical coils. is there an advantage / difference?
I got too much spit-back with a vertical build in my R91. Went back to a simple horizontal build... Seems to work best for me..Depends, you building an RDA or RTA? In an RDA, there's a lot of other variables to factor in. In a tank, chimney coils, (verticles) IMHO, rule the day. If you do it right, you get Kayfun flavor with nice dense clouds. May not win any competitions, but you can fog a room in nothing flat.
The way I decide whether or not to do verticals is the type of airflow holes on the rda. With horizontal cyclops openings I do horizontal coils, on something like the 454 or dark horse I'll do vertical and on the mutation I set the coils at about a 45 degree angle to sort of match the airholes.
I disagree....air flow always matters as much...the amount of air in any RDA at any resistance can change the vapor and flavor quality....finding the right airflow is just as important as finding the right coil build IMHO.....Makes sense. My CLT is definitely meant for horizontal but if the resistance isn't too low the airflow shouldn't matter too much.

I think the "horseshoe wick" is the best for vertical coils....I've tried using two different wicks and just having a little wick stick out the top and it works just fine except if the amount of cotton isn't even one side dries out faster....I know that's the same for any dual coil but having one long even wick seems to be more important on vertical coils....at least that's what it feels like to me....uniform is key
Well you want airflow yeah, but it doesn't make as big of a difference on higher ohm builds. Hence why there's barely any airflow on non-mods.
And too much airflow on higher ohms will keep the coil too cool.
I'm not saying airflow isn't important.
Now days some high watt devices can put out high voltage to match and you can put out a lot of power with even higher ohm coils...small gauge wire cracked up high can burn pretty hot and too much airflow can coil down even a low sub ohm coil...and I didn't say a lot of airflow is needed...I just said the right amount of airflow is needed
Yes I agree. I'm just saying with my CLT the airflow shouldn't make too much of a difference if I do a vertical coil. It has pretty decent airflow holes.
