From looking at your photos, I would recommend that you use more cotton under and around the coils and in the drip well too. In my RDA I fill up the well completely with cotton and it will hold about 15-18 drips.
You could probably nearly double the amount of cotton and have no issues. Check out some of RipTrippers videos on YouTube.

Ya, I'm going to use more cotton when I get home. I watch a ton of rip trippers but never saw one where he used that much cotton.
yes there are a ton of different builds out there for sure and experimenting is the only way to find your sweet spot. 2 things are pretty important when doing any of this stuff, good batterys and a multimeter. good luck
Hmm.. It seems like the more cotton I put the less vapor production I get. I also moved the coil up and down a bit off the deck. Trying to get it right on this trident clone.
If your wick is too saturated that will produce less vapor, you don't wanna drown your coil. When it's about the right about of saturation is when you'll see the biggest vapor production.
Ya, I'll have to sit down this weekend when I have more time to fiddle with it. I was also thinking about trying a dual coil. My coils are nice and tight for the most part (after many many tries lol.) it's a bit frustrating trying to get those big clouds and big flavor but one thing I've learned it's def trial and error. I had it hitting better on the pictures I have here better then what I have it now. I used less cotton and it was a diff coil.
If I remember I will post a pic of my trident setup for you to have something to go off of when I get home
with puff balls I have to dripp alot more then when using peaches and creme yarn. IDK why but the peaches and creme goes for awhile with my .7ohm micro coil build. taste better as well
Really? Never tried the yarn.....gonna have to remember that too! Does it come in different mm.? If so witch one are you buying?
I was thinking the same thing, peaches n cream sells at wal-mart for pretty cheap everyone is saying and you can boil and then pull the strands apart to use the width of wick that you desire. I might have to try that out tonight, postman should be delivering some 26g wire to my house right about now!
op, try and try again, you'll find what you like eventually and when you do it'll just be a matter of recreating that. I got to where I like mine, and well, I messed with it and I'm trying new stuff again so I gotta find my medium for my new builds all over again hehe. It's all part of the fun!
Building is ALOT of thr fun for me. Love having some beers building in the basement and taking my time with it. Watching tv also as I build si I'm not rushing through the build. Before I know it I'm buzzed and an hour passes by. Then I juice the new build up, take a hit and the angels sing! Love building setups! Then two hours pass and I'm tired of that build. Ya temco really likes my buisness..
I'm thankful for temco. I have 100ft 28g and I absolutely love building as well. It's half the great experience of vaping for me. I'm probably going to try sub ohm to see how that works out for me.
I think 'less is more' is an attempt to say the same idea as not compressing the cotton
I don't try to compress it but I do roll it to get it through the coil as I'm sure everyone does.. Maybe I roll it too much. I'm glad for this weekend because you guys gave me a million things to try lol.
sure sure what what, just the normal size I guess. my coils are built on a 5/64 drill bit. I fold a piece of yarn in half and use a piece of string to pull it through. cut he loop in half and putt one over the coil in between the post and one off to the side. Seems to work great for me.
Here we go my build and wicking method with cotton balls.... get a piece of cotton. Size dosent matter but thickness does! Gently pull some off the ball paying attention not to grap a bunch or thick group of concentrated fibers
Will look like this under light to show no grouping of cotton.
Next is to carefully spread the fibers or strech the cotton so its even thinner
When its thin fold the cotton over itself and prep to go through coil(s)
Then thread through the coil. This step is what gives most peeps probs, tug carefully back and forth through the coil till it slides through uniformly(sp).
Trim cotton accordingly to your dripper(will see my sryle in final pic)
Make sure coil is low/ high enough to promote airflow under and over coil. Notice with cotton installed and juiced how ya can see light through dual coil setup
note there is more gap in person, pics suck
Last juice her up that looks like this
I know the way mine is built is not average 3 post build I know. I build my coil configuration like this because I vape low nic but luvs my throat hit. Have fun and hopefuly it works good for you
Note how position of coils between posts allows for maxium airflow

Will most certainly try this when I get home. I just picked up a bag of organic cotton balls. Do you boil your cotton?
