Billow V2 coil and wick question

I got my Billow V2 and put two coils in. The ohms are 0.5. I normally use a higher ohm single coil. Will that work better for how I vape? I was thinking closer to 1 ohm. I use 26g kanthal. I am about flavor not clouds.

I wicked it, although not the best. Should I be able to chain vape the billow with no issues if wicking is correct? I can chain vape my veritas with no issues. I can vape the billow but have to let it reload. I tried 25 watts to 46 watts for the 0.5 ohm coil. 25 works best with my bad wicking.

Thanks for the help.
 
From what I have found with the billow, you should be able to chain vape it, if wicked properly. I am currently running with 24awg 2.5 id 2 strand parallel. Wicking I'm using sterile cotton balls. I have found the best way is to leave the cotton a little longer after pulling it through the coils, I'd say roughly 3-4 mm. Then flaring the ends out. I then tuck it up under the coil just a little, making sure not to go over the lip on the air holes, and the rest I have into the juice channel about half way. I found if I did any less, it always floods out. Smokes great when wicked right and can handle 3mm id coils with 24awg, which is pretty big for a rta in my onion.

I have a 0.3 Ohm dual coil in my Billow V2, and chain vape 82VG/18PG without any problems.

Since I adjusted the wick I can almost chain vape. The 0.5 ohm is tasting good. Never went that low before.
I have to admit though, I'm vaping that eJuice at 30-35W, otherwise the eJuice wouldn't taste as great. (Maybe I should try a dual Ni200 coil with that eJuice)

I vape that build between 50-55w with kanthal. Since the video, I've started using SS. That same build with SS come to 0.22 ohms, I vape it at at the same power and 470 degrees.

I am doing the same. No Big Deal. I am closer to 30 watts. I also have some ti I want to try, once I get the wicking down.

I can chain vape mine, the wicking was tricky at firs t but I've got a method that works well.
