I have been dripping for about a month now and just wanted to get an idea of what other people prefer.
I started on an Omega Clone and ran with a 1.1 ohm setup for about a week before going out and buying a Trident V1 that I drilled out to fit dual coils. Since then I have been switching back and forth. I like a 0.7 ohm set up for a little more flavor and a cooler vape.

Right now though my sweet spot is between 0.4-0.5 center posted dual coils running on my nemesis w/ black patriot rda.
It is not too warm, doesn't soak up too much juice, but tastes amazing and produces plenty of vapor :)

All right your turn now, lets see what you like:vapor:

Zenith with single sub micro .8 ohm cotton wick with big bore drip tip on my SVD at 10-13.5 watts and a mild and semi-sweet juice. Sometimes airy sometimes tight draw depending on if I'm dripping fruity or dessert type juice. But if I'm in a hyper mood I'll go with a dual parallel at .25 ohm cotton wick with bedding on my k101.

This has been my go to setup for a couple of months now.

Igo-W4 with 1/8" airhole. Triple twisted 32K in a nanocoil at 1.2ohm on a bed of rayon. Very nice anywhere from 15-30W.

I either use dual 22G 4 wraps with cotton through the middle or 24G same setup, both equal out to about .2-.35 ohms. I typically do that build on my Tugboat with drilled holes on a King V1

The 24G version is my favorite other build. I just tore that build down in another Igo-W to try my hand at dual 24G nanos. Still have that in the Stillare.

I've done a few drastically different setups on my IGO-W (drilled out to 7/64), but at this point, I'm thinking that 0.4-0.5 ohm builds are the sweet spot for me on it. 0.17 was pretty warm and produced quite a bit of vapor, but I only ran it for a day because I was blowing through too much liquid and had to redrip every couple hits. Right now, I have a double, double twisted 32 gauge (that's two wires twisted, and then two of those twisted), 5 wraps around 5/64, close to the posts and centered a bit above the center of the airflow holes. It clocks in at 0.45 ohms.

On my Fogger 4.3 (not technically a dripper, but rebuildable nonetheless), I like to stay around 0.8-1.3 depending what device I'm planning on using it on. If I want to put it on my MVP, it's anywhere from 1.2-1.3 and if I'm using it on a mod, I'll build it around 0.8. Still playing with the optimal on it though.

Single 24g 7 wrap on my nimbus at .32-.34 ohms. The nimbus top cap came stock with dual 2 air holes on each side which I drilled out to 2 sizes below 1/8 and between the 2 duals I drilled a 1/8 hole and it's perfect airflow for me.

Sorry for the gunked up coil but I usually build it the same every time.

Twisted 26 gauge A1 Kanthal, dual core wrapped around a 5/64th drill bit with 4 wraps on a sleeper build with dual 9/64th drilled out holes on copper mods at 0.16-0.19 ohms using only Sony VTC5s and a minimum of 75% VG at 3mg of nicotine and a battery voltage of no less than 3.9V and using a single strand of cotton for wicking, and a wide bore drip tip from top to bottom.

I got a Valkyrie clone the other day. After fixing a major airflow issue, I set it up with 28 AWG, dual coils.

Landed somewhere around 0.6 Ohm. This particular spot is pretty sweet IMO, but I have been thinking about ripping one of the coils out again, to save some liquid and battery. Would probably have to take a wrap off the other coil to compensate, though.
