Neatly done, for a first time. What mod are you firing it on, at what wattage, and how does it vape?
Horrible.. just horrible.. tear it apart and do it again..... 
Actually, it looks pretty good. The only thing that looks puzzling in that photo, is the blistex.. just don't prime your coils with that....not really recommended.
In all seriousness, the coils look nice and tight. Cotton may be a bit heavy, but that's hard to tell. Also, I like to position my coils close to the air intakes. If your air intakes are on the side, then position them a bit closer.. if they are from the bottom, just make sure they're over the intake holes.

& whats the lucky mod yer vaping it on? regulated? mech? if it's mech, I hope it can handle 0.3, hell, if it's regulated i hope it can handle 0.3 ohms, but i'm sure it'd tell ya if it couldn't! hahaha.
congrats on making it into the world wide web of rebuilds! yer gonna love it! & we're gonna love YOU, so-long as you continue posting some awesome pix of your builds! btw, that build is flawless in terms of a n00b build, lol! you certainly did a great job for some1 just starting out, bro! damn! loving it!
Congratumalations, my fellow vaper! keep'r up, an try some different techniques!
Most importantly, ENJOY your vape journey, my man!!

Looks good and you will get better with practice. I love building my own coils! No more worrying about dud coils and a spool of wire costs practically nothing and I got a bag of Japanese cotton that will last me for years!
Look much better than my first ones lol! CongratsI've been wanting to get into rebuilding for awhile now, so I picked up a Hannya RDA a few days ago and built my first coils! Its firing at 0.3 ohms using 24 gauge kanthal wire. I gotta say, its great saving money on coils.
Looks very good, though as mentioned a little heavy on the wicking perhaps. Remember that low resistance coils are not actually required on a regulated device. Build for surface area and required heat flux. Higher resistance coils will actually draw less amps from your batteries prolonging their lifespan.

I'm thinking about the posts; I don't see the posts;
I'm thinking you have long legs and maybe kinks/sharpbends on the legs.
I always try to wrap and align my coils so that it matches up neatly with the geometry of the rda that I am making it for.
These do look really tight. That is meant in a good way though. I'm rebuilding on a RSST. I only do 3/4 wraps in what to me seems a macro coil. It works out though. Biggest trouble I have is in the wick. For me it is a bit difficult to shove the wick through the coil. Have tried twisting as well. I just fumble with it. Figure more doing will help.
Very,very nice....much better than my first rolled coil...You've got the knack!
Hannya I'm pretty sure is a postless?
Edit: Yep, postless RDA...
Now I'm going to have to look into this one... I gotta see how this thing is supposed to work. How are you supposed to attach the coils?

Ah! Nice; so that means the leads just go straight down with no kinks.
Oh! Wait, I see it now! There are screws coming in from the sides... very cool!
I watched a review on it a while back. Seems like a cool idea but I'm a bit of an overdripper so I'm a little hesitant to get any bottom airflow RDA because of it.
Yeah, that can be a problem for me as well... and that's a pretty shallow juice well. I can pretty much guarantee that I'd just end up with juice all over the place...
