Okee, before work this morning I just broke down and took the still saturated coil out (since it didn't seem like it was working) and then when I replaced it, instead of putting the second coil thru the same hole in the middle post I wrapped it around the screws on the top of the post, and voila works like a charm!

Could the wires touching in the same post have been an issue?

How are you supposed to build all these quad coil setups and even duals without the kanthal touching when its connected to the post?
As long as they are only touching under that screw there shouldn't be a problem. They will short out if they touch anywhere else. The IGO W3 is a pain to build, very tedious...
