RiP Trippers achieves super dense/flavorful 1-sec draws from the following setups (could be more but I just saw these two)

Super Nano Coil : 28 gauge wrapped around 28 gauge, around 12 wraps - dual coil.
Macro Coil: 24 gauge wrapped around 1/8th inch drill bit, around 6 wraps - dual coil.

Here.. he achives these amazing 1 second pulls that just makes HUGE clouds.

It's two completely different setup too..

Nano coil setup has thinner wire wrapped around very thin wire..
Macro coil setup has thicker wire wrapped around rather thick screw driver..

So..what am I missing here? Is it just dual coil - faster and dense hits?

^^^^ yes what he said. A lot of these "YouTube cloud chasers" use simple light manipulation to enhance the visual presentation of vapor production.

To test this theory, blow a cloud straight up at a light shining down on you. Looks way more dense than if you were in a shaded area.

But to answer your question basically, it's the higher power to a lower resistance coil with a VG based juice. More heat + more air + VG= more vapor. As far as density, I believe that it has to do with exactly how much heat is being created, higher VG content, and the size of chamber in your top cap.

I also find that thicker gauge wire (28 through 22) produces more dense vapor than 30 or higher. I don't really have a good reason, I just feel that when I use lower gauge, the vapor is more dense.

The previous posters are correct, the lighting in rip's videos is shining toward him on his face which highlights the vapor more. If you want to do a little test it's fairly easy to see how lighting can change how vapor looks. Put Google up on your computer monitor with the lights in the room on, since it's a white page it will provide enough to do a little test. Take a hit and blow the vapor directly at the monitor while the room lights are on and log in your head what the vapor production looks like. Now, turn the room lights off and keep the monitor on with Google up to provide a nice white light off the Google background. Take the same length hit and blow the vapor directly at the monitor, it will appear to be MUCH more dense than when the lights were on.

That being said, you can make some pretty dense clouds with a sub-ohm quick hitter but there is a bit of trickery to it IMO. Hold the fire button down for 1-1.5 seconds BEFORE you take the hit, then take a quick 1-2 second puff on it and you will produce more vapor than if you started pushing the fire button at the moment you started taking your hit.
