At £1.41 for 50 coils you might as well order 2 or 3 different resistances and see what you like best.

That's just what I was thinking! Another dummy question: which is "hotter" - 2.0ohms or 1.8ohms? Is it the higher the number of ohms the hotter things get?

The lower the number the 'hotter' the coil will get if you're using a constant voltage.

Many thanks for sorting that out in my head!

mikemichelle if you're using a VV/VW mod, it really doesn't matter much which ohms you go for. Unless you are using the lower settings, in which case the lower ohm coils generally won't let you get down that low. My limited understanding, in very layman's terms is that if the ohms and watts resultant voltage, using ohms law, is lower than the actual voltage of the battery, it will default to the battery voltage... I think

Errrrrm thanks for that lairey (I think)! I'm going to experiment with a couple of different sizes and suck it and see!

I find the ohms thing a bit mysterious as well, but just as indication I use 2.8-3 in everything apart from protank3 which came with dual coil 1.6 ohms and find that fine.

Thanks for all the help and advice guys but in all the fun, we seem to have digressed from the original question. Is there anyone who has tried or has anything to say about these "universal dual coils" which are much cheaper than the standard dual coils? Or is it a case of: "If it sounds too good to be true ...?"

I guess the only real way to find out is to go and buy a few and see how they go. Unless someone has already tried them and can give a review?

Fits Kanger Aerotank, Protank 3, Mini Protank 3, eVod 2, T3D

Universal Pack of 5: $4.47
Authentic Kanger Dual Coil Pack of 5: $7.29

There's only 7 reviews on FT but they're all positive/good!

Like I said Mike! after trying the FT ones in my Protanks and getting the rank taste from them I'll only buy the originals from now on, but why not just buy five to try, at worst you'll only have to do what I did and re-wick them and you'll you have spare coils so no money wasted,

Thanks mowjo I'll get some when I next order and post the results. Nothing ventured ... etc (and they are considerably cheaper)!
