Give 24ga titanium a try, I think you may be very pleased and enjoy the chip much more. I have been using the same coil for over a week in my N22 and it started at .21Ω and has stayed there, refinement is negligible with Ti.
I have been struggling with this very issue. I've been battling inconsistent vapes with my VaporShark rDNA40 for almost a month now. I've tried different RDAs, different wire gauges, tooling with airflow, making sure my coil is proper (spaced, no hot spots, screwed down firm), and everything else people always suggest. I really want to believe that I do not have a faulty board, but it really should not be this impossible to find consistency. I am almost at my wit's end, and I'm on the verge of contacting VaporShark for repair/replacement, because at this point it's literally the only thing I haven't tried.
Sorry to hear about your frustrations, but I assure you, you are not alone. Good luck!
PS - Any updates since you posted this?

The coil I made in the above post is still going strong the same ohm reading since building. The only thing I havn't been able to get down yet is making a coil that will fire at 30w + at 450f like I see so many posting. If I set it like this I still hit temp really fast. I am building on multiple attys with major airflow so i'm at a loss.
I may try ti wire like suggested and see. I am still unsure.

now i'm gonna try some 30ga TI wire and it's here at the main P.O. just waiting for it to get delivered to my P.O. Box, and interested in Temp settings for this wire.
......@ Insomanaic10, my plan was to get 24 ga grade#1 but the place did not have it and so the 30 ga was.......you are correct if you just used 1 piece of 30 ga TI, i'm gonna twist 2 or 3 pieces on a drill then wrap; so i'll have to play w/it until i find what works....i'll post my results once i get it down...i could not get to the P.O. today so my wire is just sitting there waiting on me.

OP, no hijak intended!
FYI, here's what my vape looks like (video link below). I know you can't tell, but there is plenty of juice in there. Wells are filled.
30gauge nickel, 10 wraps, single, .18ohms, 410F, 14W, wraps are neatly spaced, coil is not touching anything, not hot spots, etc etc etc
Fun right? This is what I deal with on a day-to-day, coil-to-coil, rda-to-rda basis with this DNA40. (sorry for the hurricane breathing, the phone was very close to my face)
High VG juices are going to hit temp control MUCH quicker than 50/50 or higher PG juices.
High VG works much better in a tank that can handle high VG.

If you have any PG around try it.
Guarantee you don't hit temp control as quickly ....
A few people are having decent results by adding 3-5% water to their VG.
VG doesn't hit boiling point until ~554 degrees F.
So until you reach that temperature there will always be VG in the wick being heated with the coil. The VG essentially becomes a thermal insulator for the coil, which requires longer cool down periods.
With a tank ... fresh (and COOL) liquid is constantly being pulled to the wick which cools the coil and heated VG.
That's my theory and i'm sticking to it.
I use both a Goblin and Orchid v6 in TC and they both work great.Which tanks have you had luck with by the way -- I got a couple on order but I'll have to poke around for something that only takes a single coil...
But then again, it sounds like 30gauge TI would require many more wraps than 30gauge NI - so there's a space issue there as well in terms of coil length.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like if I'm going to consider using TI, I would need an RDA with more space to house a larger coil?
