Good thought, I didn't think about the top coil getting dry and the bottom coil only vaporizing the fluid, if it truly works that way, and it seems like it would.

I've dissected a couple dual coils and the top and bottom coils/diapers had similar wear patterns.
I keep DC upright on roughstack and the fluid does not leak out the bottom.
If not overfilled the liquid seems to stay put.

Sounds good.

Don't forget to let your virgin dual coil soak in your new eliq about an hour before tooting on it.

It is tempting to rush; have some will power and wait:)

It does seem that if I underfill them, they work better and just noticed this last week after vaping for 6 months and having them flood all the time. Its hard not to because you want them to last as long as they can. In my experience if I put to much juice in them, not only does it come out on the battery end, it doesn't produce much vapor either. How do you fill yours and do you just top off or wait until the performance drops??

I direct drip fill holding DC at an angle; no juice in center straw.
I stop when DC just starts to gurgle.
I allow time for eliq to soak into coil diaper.
I don't vape till dry.

Update on my popping juice in mouth problems! I was using the black rubber tip you can buy fro hoosier ecig, and decided it might be the problem. I put the white stopper that comes with the dc cartos back in (no idea where my driptip is) and put it through the paces. All the issues where gone, and this thing is bangin right now! The only thing I could think is maybe the extra circumference at the bottom of the black tip (bottom had a much larger hole) was letting me suck some juice out of the filler. Still pops but good vp and no juice in my mouth/throat....I'm super stoked on the dc again ;)

That's strange, I can vape w/ no tip, original tip, or drip tip w/o issue.

Can you reproduce problem by sticking black rubber tip on DC?

DC after few weeks heavy use at 3.7v w/ clean burning PG liquid.

Eventually tube cracked on both ends. I carried in pocket attached to PV.

Flavor remained clean but vapor production decreased and resistance went to 3 ohms. Lost a coil which can be seen in photo.

Diapers have skid marks.
