I just cleaned my iclear30 and when doing so I pulled my wick out displacing the burnt part of the wick out of the coils. I poured in my choo choo crunch and now I'm vaping crunch berry's! its just that I notice a little less vapor I'm sure this maybe because I am using a different juice but I'm also concerned that maybe I drug some of the coil wires into each other where they are touching. would this be a problem? would displacing the wicks ruin my coils? I cant wait for my dripper to arrive in the mail I can wrap my own coils much easier than dealing with these coil heads in tanks.

Coils touching each other shouldn't be a problem. Some coils are actually built by compressing the coils so that they all touch.
ETA: You might have popped one of the coils by moving the wick. Check and see if the resistance has changed.

Looks like I did. it ohm'd out to around 3 its a 1.5 coil head. I like tanks because I drive a lot. but I'm not liking switching out these coil heads. next time I clean my tank I wont be pulling on the wicks.
Bummer, but it sounds like one of the coils has petered out. To get 1.5 ohms on a dual coil, they hook two 3 ohm coils in parallel, for 1.5 ohms. When you measure 3 ohms, one of the coils has opened up. On the good side, if you have a variable voltage device you can simply up the voltage to get more power out of the remaining coil until you reach the point it is shot also. Other than that, you can say that's what happens and simply replace the head.
When your rebuildable arrives, you can play to your heart's content, even to the point you are rebuilding the heads.
