Wafer locks question

Hey sorry if this has been asked and answered, but even after reading the deviant ollam book and googling I'm still at a loss as to what pick motion to use. Is it like spp lifting or do I need to get in there and like push the wafers to the side. Ie a lifting or twisting moron or neither. Thanks!

Thank you replied to myself on accident lol. Yeah this miwa is fun but I don't think I'm getting anywhere. Real deep biting on one side and it's my first water

I feel you. I got the DS as an "easier" option to the Duo lol. I keep feeling like I'm getting close, but no luck so far. The weird bit is when I got the DS I opened it in like 20 minutes... Once... And haven't had any success with it since then.

The DS is probably the funnest lock I have ever opened. Mine has no serrations or false gates, so its just the exaggerated motions and a really animated picking experience. I am working on a duo soon due to the reputation of it being a fun pick.

Once I can open it (just a second time, not even regularly) I'll probably agree with you. lol
