SNAP!!I just use a standard kanthal round wire build with 27g. 2.5mm ID and 6 or 7 wraps. Comes out at about .95/ 1.1 ohm.
Thanks I will check on both of those. My airflow ring is also super tight. Are there any tips to loosen the airflow ring?It does sound like you're screwing it on too tightly.
As for the juice in the driptip, it might be because the wicks are touching the sides of the deck & the roof of the chimney.
