I'm posting this for a friend:

AShe has a Mutation X RDA that one coil burns hotter than the other. She has changed the coils, and to no avail, she has also checked to make sure ther was no piece of Kanthal stuck and nothing that she could find. Coils are both wrapped and coild the same. Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure the atty itself is on snug but not extremely tight. Make sure the post screws are snug and not tight. Make sure fire and pulse the coils while using a ceramic tweezers to squeeze the coils tighter

I'd imagine it would have to be the connection at the posts on one of the coils. Either one of them is screwed down too tight or too lose. Too tight and the wire starts to break, which will hurt the connection. Too loose and... ...similarly, the connection won't be as good. As long as the length of the leads are reasonably similar and there are no connection issues, they should fire evenly.

Now, before squishing and breaking in, they can have hot and cool spots that can make them appear to fire unevenly when they're both getting the same power. In this case, they just need to be pulsed and squished until the individual coils heat up uniformly and they will even out.

Also, whatever you use to squish the coils is going to suck heat out of the coil you're squishing, so when you fire again, the other coil will heat up faster. Allow them both time to cool after adjusting before test-firing them again.
