Please post a picture of your build. Sounds like a winner! What kind of form-wrap-Ga do you use on your ss-mesh side? What diameter silica and mesh wrap?
Right now I don't have a camera handy but it works something like this:
On one side I just do a 28g micro-coil on a 5/64" drill bit. You can use a smaller jig if you like, but I've just found 5/64" a size that's easy for me to get my wick in and out of. I usually shoot for around 1 Ohm on this side (go lower if you want more heat). I wick this half with surgical cotton. This side gives a fluffy white vapor with a mellow flavor. This side is also the juice hog!
On the other side I take about two inches of 1mm silica, then wrap about 1cm square of pre oxidized SS mesh around the center of that which is just wide enough to space out the coils of a higher gage wire (32 to 34 gage). I wind the coils right on the stainless mesh part of the wick. I also double the leads and twist them with wire this small to avoid hot legs. I usually shoot for around 3 Ohms for this coil. This side doesn't put out as much visible vapor, but it does bring out other, usually more subtle aspects of more layered flavors.
Total resistance on such a build should come out around 0.75 Ohms in theory...of course in reality it usually ranges from 0.6 to 1ish Ohm after adjustments, tightening things down, and drenching it all in liquid.
Here's a cheater box for figuring parallel resistances.
