You can build for "coil(s) net surface area" as your primary goal... which is how you obtain a good vapor volume, but at a modest "heat flux" (coil radiant heat) value.
You'll end up with a higher "heat capacity" (time to temperature) value... but we're talking an extra second or so to reach functional vaporizing temperature, so not that big a deal.

Per Steam Engine...

If you have... a 26 gauge single coil build of 0.7Ω at 40 watts, that's a very high heat flux of 506 mW/mm² (this is your too hot issue right here) and a coil surface area of 76.52 mm².

The same build... using 24 gauge (with the same applied wattage) will increase surface area to 155.32 mm² and reduces heat flux to a warm, but far more user friendly 252 mW/mm².

If you want to improve your knowledge of the above values, click the first and second sigline hyperlinks below.

Thanks I'll use that and hopefully get something that works.
After you get familiar with the program (PM me if you don't understand something), you'll be able to independently (and together) adjust wire gauge, coil count in parallel, net resistance and wattage... to fine tune to your tastes, the various performance aspects of your builds.

Cheers
