Don't try to get the water all the way down to hell--I tried that and it all evaporated...(I went back the next Terraria day and legit it was still draining)...just bring it down with you and whenever you see a pocket of lava, guide the water there by mining towards it. It was more than sufficient for me; I got over 3,000 obsidian, more than enough to get 2 sets of molten armor and weapons as well as some stacks of 250 obsidian bricks and 2 obsidian skulls. Plus if you just guide the water towards these earlier pockets, the water won't evaporate. Just have enough water to cover the entire surface of the lava pool, otherwise it'll evaporate after a short time.
