I wasn't happy with the commonly filmed coil technique. If anyone new to this is having trouble with shorts and hotspots give this a try. I recommend 500 ss mesh but any mesh will give you good results.

Hubble's GenTech​

*Make and oxidize a tight dense wick per the http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/330407-500-ss-mesh.html thread technique (no center hole, as tight as it can be. almost the size of your wick hole). Don't go overboard with oxidizing, you will do more later.

*Insert wick into dry tank to check size and trim bottom of wick at an angle to help wicking.

*Eye where you want your coil to go on your wick. I wet a little 4mm wide piece of paper the length and position of my future coil to the wick as a pattern. This will burn off later.

*Take your wick out of the tank, tightly & evenly coil your wire how you want it. Wrap coil on top of your paper pattern. Leave both tails on the same side when finished.

*Trim tails to about a half inch.

*Hold tails in needle nose pliers close to wick.

*Torch wick and coils to red and quench 2-3 times.

*Put down pliers and drip juice all over coils. Light to flame. Do this 2-3 times. Don't quench. (hold bottom of wick with pliers)

*Put wick back into tank

*Screw in top positive lead first, making sure coils and wick touch nothing.

*With fingers or pliers (I use pliers), GENTLY pull bottom lead towards you to pull all the coils close to the wick.

*While holding wire with gentle tension, pull bottom lead under negative screw and screw down. (I have the tank on a mod between my knees at this point)


This tech breaks in your coil and wick before it even touches a battery. It also "trains" your coil to stay a tight coil and will not expand away from your wick ever again. Zero hotspots and zero shorts. Enjoy and I hope this helps that guy (or kickass girl) about to throw a Genesis out the window
