I have a similarish problem.. getting good TH and vapor but not so much flavor. Using 3mm silica wick and 32 gauge kanthal, 1.8 ohms on an iTaste VV3. I've already made about 5 different coils, all perform about similarly. I tried to take a picture of it but you can't really see much detail since the wick is soaked in juice and its dark looking. I bought some 28 gauge kanthal as well, but I'll have to wrap a lot more to get it around the 1.5-2ohm range right? I'm thinking of trying 31 or 30 gauge.. the 32 kanthal is quite thin.

I too tried the nano dragon and had it working for a bit until it just started tasting burnt. What I didn't like was that it required a lot of juice which ended up dispersing through all that cotton and the cotton around the wick had to be pretty wet to keep the VP and flavor right. I'll prob revisit it some time, but for now I like my current setup.

Stacked 11 wrap 30g nano coils with cotton. I wrapped it around a large paper clip, pulled them off, pinched the coil together with tweezers, torched it, held it together for 30 seconds and now they're nice and pretty. Reads .8 ohms on the Vamo(I vape this on my KTS) and is a real cloud machine without being too hot of a vape. I started with a .4 quad coil and although it was a fogger it was too hot for me to take a long enough drag to billow out clouds. I normally vape 26 DIY juice, but I have to catch my breath with that strength in this, had to make a 6 as I can't vape 26 all day.

contrary to what others have said, the dual air holes with wicks on one side has never effected my vape negatively. With stock .5mm air holes everything over 5 watts burned my wicks and tasted horrible. The throat hit from the juice was unpleasantly strong as well, was almost like drinking e liquid and made me cough. My air holes are now both 1/16"

try making a double 2.4 ohm nano coil to get it around 1.2 ohms. Not sure how many wraps that is with 32Ga, but you can always make long legs, so you can add wraps as needed. I twist together the ends of the wicks.
