Single coil here. 29ga, 2mm/8 wraps@1.5 ohms (I use this same build on all my atomizers be it the Derringer, Magma, or kayfun 4).
I would like to see more pictures of folks single coil builds on the Derringer so I can get some better ideas for wicking. I use cotton yarn I bought at Joann's for everything that fits perfectly in a 2mm coil, but because its twisted yarn, the entire space underneath my coil is empty since both 'tails' are pushed back into the empty side of the well.. I keep thinking that its just wasted space underneath the coil and I should be doing something differently.. I love the vape on it but cant help thinking I could 'optimize' it more.

Dual 24g Eco-plat with 2.4 inner diameter. Ohms out around .19 and hits like a freight train.
Interesting, never seen a coil like that. I take it the wraps are designed to line up with the airflow holes?
I've used dual parallels around .4, 28/30 claptons at .3-.35, and 22g 7 wraps at around .25-.3. My favorite was the clapton, but the small chamber and ample airflow makes just about anything shine. Most of those builds were vaping between 55 and 75 watts, and I have no complaints thus far.
Just got my authentic Derringer. First built, dual 28g, 8 wraps, 2.5mm, 0.8 ohm. Firing at 16 -18w on ProVari 3 with Boost set to 3. Vaping with 2-4 air hole. Liking it.
I've been using an authentic since they first came out. I've got a Prax2s, but mainly run it on the Sigelei box you're using, but at 60-100w (depending on juice). Mostly 60w with Grant's Custard. Here's what I'm using.
- Dual parallel coils @.14ohm (g-plat elite 26g) + organic cotton (cotton bacon brand strips).
and some tips I posted in the flavor chaser thread:

and some tips I posted in the flavor chaser thread:
- Center your coils and rebuild them when they start to show wear.
- Don't over pack it with cotton. Leave a little room under each coil so air can get under them.
- Use 2 holes on the ring.
- The drip tip matters. You want a tight seal - best tip I've found is the Trinity Copa
I notice that I get more flavour when I pump up to watt but unfortunately the P3 only goes up to 20 watt max but I still got the boost to play around with. Now vaping at 20 watt with boost set to 3.
I did try it on iStick 30w but the flavour is not as good at P3 even went vaping at 22 watt.

The Derringer is my favorite temp control dripper. The tiny chamber really makes for great flavor and dense warm vapor. I'm running a twisted 30ga. wire wrapped around a 3mm screw driver 11 times for a ~.15ohm build. It's a tight fit in there with only a mm to spare around the coil. Once you get it positioned right, it's an awesome vape. Better flavor than any other RDA I've used, especially with nickel wire. I'm in love!
Try making the ends a lil longer and then fray them for better absorbsion
Hello, just started posting on the forum & put this pic on my intro thread just for the sake of leaning how to post pics, more justice for it here.
It's dual 26GA parallels 8 wraps on 3mm
Only had this Derringer for a couple weeks. First put 2mm 26GA parallels at .20 ohms. 2mm left soo much room I went with my go to 3mm parallels xxGA for all my builds, love them parallels flavor and ramp up time is better.
Was hoping for more flavor on the Derringer. May have to do less wraps for under .20 ohms. My tugboat v2 has 3mm 24GA Parallels at .18 ohms and get way better flavor and vapor output.

What I do now is just tuck one side directly under the coil and let the other one wrap around the other side like normal. Kind of a pain getting the one side under the coil but Ive got tools and stuff that help position it without being too big Im messing up the coil. I do the exact same thing on my Bonsai clone as well, works like a charm and seems to hold more juice now too.
Latest builds are now 26ga, 10 wraps at 2mm puts it at 1.0 ohm almost on the dot..
The best build I have found is twisted 26g, dual coils. It's a **** to get in there but it's worth it.
