So first up, vaping straight for over two weeks now. No analogs at all. :) I imagine that seems like nothing to some of the more experienced vapers, but to me it's a big deal.

Anyway, so I've got myself 3 drippers, all Igo's; W, W3 and W6. For the life of me, I can't get the what I want out of them.
Well, the W6 I can - for some reason it's just an excellently easy device. I mean, takes much longer to do the four coils, but super easy. Whereas the 3 - I just can't get a decent setup going at all. I suppose it's just practice.

But! No matter how much I try, I just can't get an even slightly good dragon coil going. Somewhere I stuff the wicking up. Barely any vapor production at all. I try and try and try and nothing. I find it so frustrating. Any tips on this (I've already watched youtube so many times!) would be greatly appreciated. Unlike you lucky US folk, down here in Melbourne there are no vape shops (I will not count the paint shop that also mixes its own juice - scary thought right?) So I can't get any hands on help anywhere.

Got some kanthal in 26, 30 and 32 gauges. But it's surely just wicking. Using a variety of resistances, always the same. But my god does the W6 chuck the vapor at .27. Crazy. I mean, I'm happy with that, just feel so useless not being able to dragon coil it - even in dual mode.

TL;DR dragon coil wicking tips as I suck at it.

Ok on those do dual coils Inside diameter 2-2.5mm you need some 28 ga wire. Dual 7/6 or 6/5 turns with a tight fit one coil next to the other. If you use 26 ga you will get a .4 ohm build. Use organic cotton. Do a test with out wick to see they heat at the same time and from the middle out and there are no hot spots. Make sure the wick is not to tight. should be able to pull it through easily but touching the sides of the coils. Will be a .6ish build. You will get flavor out of this and a pretty good cloud. I find these ohm and wraps work best for a balance between flavor and a cloud.
