Ok, so here's the deal. Been vaping for almost 2 months. Started with an Aspire Premium Starter kit, wanted a better battery and bigger tank, so I bought a full sized Nautilus and an Eleaf iStick. Still think I can get better flavor and vapor so I bought a Plume Veil 1.5 Tobeco clone. For my first build I decided to try and aim for 1.1ohm dual coil build with 28 gauge a1 kanthal. Read up on ohm's law (still don't completely understand it), used steam-engine to figure out number of wraps and everything seems ok I guess. I know the iStick's range is from 1.0ohm to 3.0ohms, so no sub-ohming for me right now. What I'm not understanding is why one coil seems to heat up faster than the other, and sometimes it takes longer for the coils to heat up than the previous fire. Noticed this while I was heating them up and evening them out with a pair of needle nose. Pretty much, inconsistency is what I'm noticing. This was done at 9, 10, 11 and 12 watts. Should I be using a higher wattage when trying to even out the coils? I'd use a pocket torch but don't have any kind of torch, no gas stove either. I have some pictures if anyone wants to take a look at them, maybe there's something you can see that I need to address.

Sorry about rambling on, and thanks in advance for any help.
(Please don't laugh too hard about me using a RDA with an iStick)
