for that dripper you only need tny bit of wick too. for cotton wool literally about 1cm length and 1-2mm thick strand at most, and make sure the cotton wool doesnt block the air hole.
i dont have my little dripper built at moment to show you how much will see if i can get it done later and take a pic to show how much cotton. also do you have ohms meter. could be the coil is shorting so your not getting the right ohms. when its dry with no wick or juice the coil should glow red from inside out within a second
Will answer as best as i can hope you guys are ready for entertainment again
The dripper has 4 holes of various sizes and that twists on the main bit that has 1 hole so i can bick big to little air flow. That is on the side.
Taking that off and looking in the dripper it has 3 posts....which appear like ive dropped juice in them ive tried rolled up tissue to dry the posts but think i need something a bit stiffer.
I have a full coiling / wicking kit ohm reader etc at home. Trying best to sort it on the bus
