Hey fellas here's the deal I've been vaping a protank mini for a few months now with a simple e-go battery I liked it just fine but in reading and talking to folks I decided to get a mech mod and a dripper I got a k-100+ and a nimbus clone with a 18650 2200 mag batt. I can't seem to get it working well no matter what I do it's hot drys up really fast 2 hits tops and does not produce much more Vape then my protank I have dual coils at .8 28g wire what gives I thought I'd be a walking smoke stack???? I can send pics please help just want dense vapor

Ok at .8 ohms which is 1.6 ohms per coil with a fresh battery your doing 22 watts 11 watts per coil. Drippers are going to use up juice fast. There is only the wick to hold the juice. If you want to send a pic it will have to be a PM as you I don't believe you can reply only post a question unless you are a Vet. I hope that battery is a 30 amp battery like the sony VTC4 or 5 because if it's not you could cause the battery to vent or worse. Sorry for the soap box made a promise to do this.
For future use you need to supply more info. Like what is the inside diameter of the coil, what wick did you use and are the coils tight or lose that sort of thing.
If I were to build on that I would do a coil 3mm I.D. should be about 5 wraps short a lead as possible make sure before wicking it that there are no hot spots then wick with organic cotton or cellucotton.

Here is a useful tool if you don't have one. Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators
Also Drippers like High VG juice IME. So if you're using 50/50 juice or less VG it may not do as well. As far as drying up quick that is a dripper thing and that is why folks say don't drip and drive.
Last soap box thing. Make sure you know ohms law, practice battery safety and use the correct one and don't exceed it's design check all builds resistance before mounting it with a good meter.
