How do I go about checking for hot spots when I already put juice in the tank? :facepalm:

either extract the juice out with a syringe, then dry burn... Or, hold the tank horizontally so the wick is out of the juice. then dry burn til the wick dries out, then youll see your coils start to glow. check for inconsistencies and adjust accordingly.

well i could tell simply from the fact the coil was glowing red in places and no vapor came out of other spots

im not sure if that would work in a minor case, maybe only the extreme hotpots i manage to create :)

I use tweezers to isolate and make bends at the base and to configure its top 1mm off center post
then I ohm it out

it appears to me your lower ohms reading is from a grounding short on the base
loose connection or ss wick short ><
juice makes that even worse
your coil needs a crimping
the distance from your top post to coil and wick is huge
square coils are kewl

seasoning for post and coil
it does it
your coil legs are hot
learned yesterday to get best possible center coil
short legs make a huge difference
bonus is the seasoning and mine taste better than metalic tasting vape
as previously posted toooooo much coil off wick

ymmv if dirty in there and short to center post
if you get it right its awesome
cleanest flavor, not my opinion its well known
juice seasons up pretty quick in there
keep it uber clean, season it and
be cautious with replacing cap and your good to go
this type coil will last a lifetime
