Will one work better than the other?

split coil.......................................or continuous

the tubing is the same size but the split coil is one inch taller (to the top of the coil). Assuming both coils are completly covered, which will cool faster? How might each affect a whirlpool? Does one make Push n' Sven seem less gay? I'm just askin.

Truth be told you can pull the coils into just about any position you want, Cash. If you're whirlpooling into the coil then either one will work.

The left one makes me seem less gay, but it's really the right one that proves my stunning girth.

Oh sweet (insert Hindu god here) how anal are you?
Theoreticly the continuious will be better due to the fact that convection will help the cooling BUT if you are doing a true whirlpool (especially if you are pumping for your whirlpool) you shouldn't notice a difference. As a matter of fact I think you would be hard pressed to come up with an appreciable difference either way.

The right one is more shiny. I pick that one.

Anyone want to take issue with that statement?

I cant see any real difference in the two either, but couldn't figure why they would sell the two different types. But I do like the shinny one.
