Try moving up in trophies. I don't imagine there's much DE at all down in silver. Get up to Gold 2/3 and you should be able to find bases that have a decent amount of DE. I farmed over 100k DE in about two weeks (not raiding every day) in Gold 1/2. Maybe should head up there. Don't be the guy who zaps DE from storages or gems it all!
1. Go up past Gold I.
2. Eithe drag rush, snipe town halls, or zap dark elixir storages or drills.
Lightning spell de
For D.E, the best league to be in is Gold 2/1 because there is always good D.E up there. In Gold league 2, I made around 20k D.E in about 3-4 days, so I upgraded my barb king to level 5 :)
As was said before, get your trophies up to at least Gold 2, and do dragon raids, and DE storage snipe. You'll amass DE in no time
EVERYONE has trouble getting dark elixir at the early stages of TH7. You've never had the chance of getting it before and now you don't know how to get it! :P i had the same problem, i ended up gemming my BK because i was over the dark elixir grind but then shortly after i found the easiest way to get it. At TH7 i got him to lvl 5 with ease and got lvl 2 hogs and minions easily.
Step 1: Get to Gold 2+ League
Step 2: BRING 3 LIGHTNING SPELLS (LVL4) ;) don't care about what others say, this will increase dark elixir efficiency by 40% at least. And no, you won't get revenged every single time, people say you will but trust me you won't..
Step 3: Either use Barch or just archers (make sure you have 200 army space) and look for collector bases with accessible dark elixir drills, spam.. SPAM the archers etc on the drills and watch them soak up the dark elixir. You can make 1k+ each raid this way and you don't need to use some special wall breaker giant healer goblin army, it's a lot simpler.
... I've answered a similar thread, maybe this will help you out as well.

Zapping in itself isn't all that efficient, but if you supplement a few zaps as well as full drill hitting you will gain huge amounts of DE (especially with everyone's drills currently boosted).
It is true that it pisses most people off when you zap, but if you zap a TH9 or 10 they have such a huge loot penalty they will almost never revenge, unless its for pride which at that point who cares since they will essentially be getting nothing.
TH8's might revenge you but then you have to be offline when they are online, and hope that you don't get TH sniped by someone else or have a shield in the meanwhile (which is very likely) or you just spend your DE.
You do what you gotta do. Hit drills, zap, look for exposed de storages, etc. Pretty self explanatory and rather easy to do.
If you really need DE then go to Crystals
BARCH and TH Snipe is the fastest way + revenge
Happy Hunting
