.39 dual micro coil on a plume veil. This works... badly. I am having a really hard time centering the coils, and having a ton of airflow and heat problems because they aren't centered. Also I want to have one single strand of wick running all the way through both coils but I don't want to block the airholes on the negative posts. Maybe do it like this but run the wick over the middle of the positive block? That way the liquid will go where it needs to because its all one piece of wick, and I won't get one side half dry and the other over saturated. I get that a lot when I drip through the drip tip instead of taking the cap off.

I found i had the same thing when dripping through the drip tip unless i tilted the atty to one side so i was hitting one wick and then tilting the other way to hit the other wick, the grooves on the base must be there to trap the juice and prob to stop it leaking into the neg posts.

What i also did was turn the collar that has the holes in it, upside down, then you have more air and you can either use the cyclops holes which are always the same hight being in the middle or you can use the trip holes which will sit over the top of your coil for more flavour, either way is good but it also shuts off the neg post airhole and allows you to put your coils where ever you want, and if you have a Tobh topcap try that instead of the plumeveils, i like it lots :D

another bonus to using the tobh topcap is that it sits snug so its easier to pull off than the plumeveils making it easier to drip, i just use two seperate wicks, less cotton holding onto juice for no reason other than needing to stay wet.

EDIT: if you havent got a spare tobh cap, apparently these work prettygood >>https://www.fasttech.com/products/3023/10009421/1841400 .... they sell them in singles and in black plastic also, i have some plastic ones on the way, cus its a DT aswell as topcap i prefer the plastic to keep the tip cool when tooting

hmm, unbalanced ride, would be like a car with an auto lowering doing the slam hop, or something like that. Though have seen builds using different wire and such, Heck, a tiger wire or any of the flat/round twisted combo's is basically what you are talking about, then the was that tri-coil build that looked like a mickey mouse hat. Give it a shot, only thing wasted is time, wire, wick and juice. :D You could call it the side kick giraffe build, or something like that:D

Speaking of which, what have you done with that damn Giraffe, and where have you been hiding??? Good to see ya.

Vape long and Prosper.!!!

Haha I like the name. I'll give it a shot later today.

My daughter was born on the 23rd. Needless to say I've been busy for the last few months :)

I think vaping is the only thing that has kept me sane haha!

Got a couple of Mephisto another plumeveil a vanilla and a king3 today :D

The Mephisto tastes better than the Atomic with the same build, i havent test driven it properly yet but it might even be better than the plumeveil, we will see..

22G Kanth single coil 0.25Ω.... frigging awsome vape for a single coil, saying that, its probably better than alot of dual's i've made :)

On KingIII , its pretty much even on VD with my Panzer, both have copper contacts.
standard 3mm post holes on Mephisto.

i thought this build was great in the Atomic but i can now taste even more from my diy Desert Ship.
