I know I'm posting a lot lately but I just got set up with all new gear. I've got a nice setup in my shiny new trident clone, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to drip. I will say that I found having a long wick was way to much hassle so I cut them off flush with the base. with my 510s I would just take the drip tip off, hold it between my lips, 4 drops down the center, and I'm good to go. with this one I'm not sure how to drip. do I need to drip directly on both coils? Do I need to take off the entire to or just the drip tip? how many drops? how do I know how much? just trying to figure this out.
dripping on duel coils

This won't be the best answer, but I just take off the drip tip and can usually see if one area is dryer than another, then just go for it with drops, as long as the coils are not completely flooded I'm good to go.
I have just started dripping myself so bear with me. I leave mine a little long and saturate them with the whole top off. I want the liquid to just about puddle but not quite. then I puff away for as long as it takes until the flavor starts to fade. then I drip 3-5 drops into the center whole on top about every 6-10 puffs. Occasionaly remove the body and look at your rig see how much liquid is there and if it is wicking. with a dual coil set up you will use a bit more liquid( I think so anyway). It's not going to be a lot different than your old setup.
This is what I do - pop out driptip, 3 drops to each coils and I'm good to go for 4-5 hits
I think this one may end up getting shelved. It works ok but I can't seem good vapor production. It just isn't worth the battery life. Maybe I'll try a finer wire and see if that helps.
I would first make sure that your coil was as close to the airhole as possible And fire it without the top on to see how it is vaping. THen make sure you line up the air holes with the coils. You should be getting made hits. And turn up your power if you have that option. If you have a VV/VW device that is. If not then you will have to lower your resistance on the coils. You might try just using one coil. Also the thinner wire won't hurt.
Ideally you really shouldn't have to worry about where you drip, as long as the juice makes it inside the atty the wick material should soak it up and deliver it to the coil. If you have a build raised really high off the deck with no wick resting lower you might need to target your dripping on the coil or something, but I don't know why someone would have a build like that in the first place.
In my own experience dual coil builds don't increase vapor production unless I've got large airholes and do lung draws. I've currently setup my igoW with a pair of 1ohm coils, and two 3mm airholes. With a 3-4 second lung draw the vapor is obscene. Doing a slow mouth-to-lung inhale gives me anemic vapor worse than I get from my AGI setup with a 1.1ohm single coil.

it seems to take a while for the coil to heat up. if I open it up it may be a full second before I see any vapor. 3-4 consecutive hits seems to be the only way to get a decent volume. I'm got it sent for minimal airflow, single 1mm, as that's what gives the throat hit that I like. I'm thinking that a thinner wire might heat up faster.
Sounds like it's trying to heat too much wire. Thinner wire would do it. Your resistance will be higher with the same number of wraps. So go with a couple less. Or use the wire you have and go with smaller coils or just one coil. Play around before you give up on it.

First, what gauge wire are you using, what is the resistance of the coils and what device do you have it on?
I just started using a Trident clone last week and I get fantastic flavor and vapor production out of it. Dual 27 gauge micro coils with cotton, at 0.7 ohms together. I'm using the dual air holes which are about 2 mm each which as you know is the only size that has both holes open. I just tried it with the small single hole and it's way too tight to do a lung hit and flavor/vapor with mouth hits is way less than what I'm getting with both holes.
IMO, if you want to use one hole only, build one coil. The higher your resistance, the smaller the hole should be. You can turn the air hole a bit off center to the coil and that will give you increased TH. I think you're pretty much wasting that second coil now. It's mainly making heat and not vapor because it's got no air flow over it. I can chain vape a dozen draws and the Trident does not heat up. The vape is comfortably cool and extremely saturated.
Mine also takes about a second to heat up from a cold coil. I hit the button about half a second before I start the first draw and then vape a couple of pulls. My average draw time is a little less than two seconds. Any more than that and honestly I can't see the monitor and my dog thinks I'm on fire
I drip through the drip tip with a needle bottle and put enough in so I can take about a dozen drags. I have the coils high enough so they are centered on the air holes and that's pretty high so I'm not flooding them. Cotton wicks touch the deck to pick up the juice pooling there. I think I would get better performance if I didn't drip that much at once, but it's so good I accept the loss in exchange for dripping less often.
Hope this helps and best of luck with it

Love the new avatar Zoe. I drip 10 drops directly onto the coil (single) of my Octopus and it works great, the wick soaks up the liquid and delivers it to the coil as needed. Rarely floods the coil. I remove the drip tip to do so. Good luck and have fun!
What ohms are you running, how many wraps. Don't give up!! When i'm looking for a fog out session I always grab my dripper. It's the way to go for massive vapor production for sure.
