ok so i built a dual coil in my dripper, stuffed a bunch of cotton in there and it gets nice flavour but almost no vapor. what have i done wrong? inner diameter of coils is biggish, 2.5 mil. resistance is 0.7 ohms.
 
enough air circulation in the chamber? sometimes less cotton is more...
 
@denizenx if it can help; the "dry" cotton must slide fairly easy through the coil, if its a micro coil; 10mm length is enough
 
yup it was too much cotton. flavour and vapour production has now jumped up degrees of magnitude. throat hit also. it's now working close to how it should be i think. still gonna tinker a little but all looks good. thanks guys

sometimes too much cotton gets the dripper 'flooded' with too much juice

i had the same situation happen to me once, removed some cotton and bobs your uncle
 
And make sure there is no cotton between the coil and the air hole(s).
 
i also now realised i built the dual coil into the wrong two posts, and the cap isn't quite right. will go and do it over again a little later with a smaller inner diameter coil so there's more wraps. should ramp up the performance some. then i might have to go looking for a drill press. oh wait the guy who lives downstairs has one :)
