I'd suggest an ohm meter, and if you want to build say a 1.5 ohm dual coil setup, it will take 2 three ohm coils. So aim for 3 ohms and build your first coil, see what it reads on the ohm meter and once you have it right, make a twin for it. So say 10 wraps comes out to be 3.0 ohms, then make an identical 10 wrap coil, test it and make sure it's reading the same ohm load, and wire that dude up.
For wicks, I much prefer organic cotton balls. I pull off a section, and then place it between my hands like I'm warming them up so it twists it up. Then I take a scrap of wire and bend it in half, hook my twist of cotton in the middle and pull it through the coils which gives me a double wick, then I cut the ends off about 1/16 inch or so from the coil. The Majority of my cotton is inside the coil and its pressing nicely against the wire which is what I like.
I then super-soak the cotton with juice, it's gotta be completely soaked or it will go "poof"
With a nice setup like you've got you really can't go wrong as long as you use an ohm meter. Start out shooting for about 1.6 to 1.8 ohms and go from there. I think 1.5 is a nice number since you can aim for 3 ohms for your first coil. If it's 2.2 when you put it on the ohm meter, wrap a couple more coils and it will increase. If the ohms are high, just unwrap a coil or two and test again.
Either a nice workbench with a vise or some vise grips or c clamps on a drill bit, or a girlfriend with a firm grip to hold something while you twist the first few comes in really handy IMO.
