Looks pretty good, especially for the first. The top leg could be shorter, bringing the top of your wick closer to the positive post; this would reduce chance of a hot spot developing on it. Other than that, if it's working good for you, it's the best coil in the world lol.

Nice job, it only gets easier from there.

Pretty much exactly what I was going to say. Looks good for a first time build.

I know tell me about it built a slica wick for my wife looks like crap but vapes great with no problems . I may try and shorten the leg was afraid of bending the wick and causing wicking issues Hmmm I'll go for it and post results I think. Would bending it cause it to be be prone to going dry still getting used to Ss mesh

Looks good if you aren't getting a hot top leg I would leave it as it is.

Messed with it some ended up just keeping it as is. My only question is when I refill with a different flavor do I clean it then dry burn or just change wicks? Got the build down good but that's my only hick up what to do when changing flavors

An AGA T3 !! :) That was my first build also.... Used about 2 wraps of 400 mesh around a SS rope core. Works like a champ. Notice that you left a small gap between the wick and the inside of the center hole. That's where I fill mine (using a syringe) since I had no luck using that small fill port. juice kept flooding out of the center wick-hole when I tried using the built in fill port.

I do the same thing haha I unscrew the fill hole though to let air escape
