After much fiddling and adjusting a nice even burn with no apparent hot spot. Note the resistance is improved now @ 2.1 Ohms.

FAIL! about 10 minutes after this last shot a hot spot developed and POP! no more coil.

FYI: all this was done with the stuff in the little clear envelope so I have no idea what wire or what mesh it was. On my next attempt however I may know more. I am guessing that the supplied mesh was 500 and I think I may continue to attempt using it but my next build will definitely be with either 28 or 30 AWG because that is all I have.

I think maybe I was too hasty in rolling the wick and that there where a few micro fibers of SS sticking out on the rough edge that I should have folded over prior to rolling. This should be pretty easy to remedy. I will try to remember to take photos of the process as I go so that others can benefit from my trials and tribulations.

I am not discouraged, this will not stop me, I will try again and again until like all things I will be triumphant!

vape on, vape strong!
