After having issues finding genuine vision heads for my Vivi Nova a decided to rewick and coil my own.

I followed some Youtube clips but all is not well so am wondering what I am doing wrong.

I am using 2ml silica wick, using a pin I held the wick and wrapped the wire around 5 times, put it in the head,put the wire down the centre, put the little rubber gromit over one wire and pushed it on tight, trimmed of the access wire and wick, spaced out the coils, put on the little metal bit at the bottom of the head, jobs a good'un right?

Attached it on to the Vivi Nova and then onto the battery, the blue light came on the ego and wouldn't go off, I unscrewed the Vivi Nova and still the battery is sitting with the light on, the button does nothing so I guess that battery is screwed.

Attached it to my ego twist and we have lift off at 3.8v the draw is tight and minimal vapour, at 4.3 I have that ....ty burn't taste, I left it around 4v, but the draw is still tight.

I decided to do another head, this time with 4 coils, the draw seems even tighter and even less vapour.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
