Wattage sucks juice, coil surface area sucks juice. Quad coils will go through a lot of juice. I run quads on my rdas that have very deep wells; the Kennedy, and the El Cabrón.
What wick material are you using?

I agree with Nikea 100%.

I just put together a 26 gauge quad coil kanthal build on my Nixon v2 and before I get 3 good puffs in I already get burn hits. Is this normal? It reads .15 ohms and I usually vape it at 80W on my Reuleaux rx200

As far as your build is concerned, wouldn't you want all 8 wick tails in the juice wells?? The way that the wicks are currently setup, the juice has a long way to travel to saturate between the connected coils. I am thinking that could have something to do with your dry hits.

I personally wouldn't run a quad coil on either Nixon, since they are dual airhole rather than quad. The coils you have that aren't in airflow are going to burn juice.

Run dual parallels, over the airhole. My old Nixon setup was dual twisted chimney coils; worked quite well.

The advantage here is that even though twisted coils spit, they spit back into hot coil, revaporizing the droplets.

You should have airflow to each coil. A quad setup would need to look something like this:
