Congrats. Good order and damn there's some helpful people up in here ain't there?
Torching - I did it, stopped doing it, did it again for a while now I no longer do it.
The trick is to wrap with as much tension on the wire as possible.
Here's a little series of vids I made - skip the torching part though. It's totally unnecessary
Making the coil:
Option 1 ( the one I use all the time )

Option 2 (works well too but harder to keep track of wrap count):
