Instead of burying this deep inside the suywwacs thread, I decided to give this one it's very own thread 
This is due to the fact that I am immensely impressed with this coil and would like to recommend it and then easily point someone to this thread instead of a buried post
The parallel coil is awesome! I absolutely love it, such a brilliant idea. The basic idea is that you build a single coil which performs like a dual coil. I'm not going to describe the process, but will rather put up video at the bottom that shows how to build it.
In the Lemo it is a bit tricky and I don't see being able to go any thicker than 28G and still being able to fit both wires through the post holes (the same goes for dual coils) - you could put them under the screws with 26G but that might be a bit of a pain to get right - I haven't tried...just a feeling (prove me wrong).
Here are the techincal specs:
2x28G Kanthal (Round)
2mm ID
5 wraps (and because there's two wires side by side, that totals 10 wraps wide)
Final resistance: 0.5 Ohm
Wick: Organic cotton
Usage: 25W (Current draw is just over 7A according to steam engine
)
How does it vape? Crazy good!
And so far the Lemo has been performing as expected...perfectly
The flavour is fantastic, just like a dual coil. Ramp time with the 28G is near instantaneous at 25W+. No dry hits so far
Small disclaimer, this is my very first sub ohm build and so I've been taking it quite easy with shortish hits, so YMMV. I'll add comments as I grow more hair on my chest and let it rip
And now after making you read all this (you did read it, right?), it's time for some pictures 
I am not going to annotate these pictures, so feel free to ask if anything is unclear
The images are max size, so click them to "zoom in"
And here is an animation of the coil firing at 25W (it's in real-time)
And finally, this is the video that shows how to build the coil (by RipTrippers) - it's for an RDA, but the coil build is the same, just a different way of attaching it to the Lemo
After I wrapped the coil (using the method in the video) I had to clip the part with the loop so that the two wire ends were now separate - this allowed me to get them through the post hole. Also make sure to have long enough leads on both sides as it is a bit tricky to get them through the holes and having extra wire makes it that much easier. And finally, make sure the screws are out as much as possible, but do not remove them as the wires can get stuck on the screw hole while trying to push them through.
I can highly recommend this build in the Lemo, even just for fun. Also, adding another wrap to increase the resistance would probably be a good idea - 0.5 is maybe a bit low for an RTA
