How does it look?

that looks very good!

I'm not sure if I'm seeing some of the wire glowing at the top, after it has left the wick. If so, just relieve a tiny bit of tension. I can't tell if your wick is pulled toward the center post, or just likes to lean that way.

It's leaning. I was told to wrap it and get it as close to without touching to prevent hotspots

Well good then. Sometimes that lean comes from someone pulling the wick over when affixing the pos. lead. Top hot legs are a result of tension issues, not wire length.

case in point.

I should add that the coil shape (and the intensity/presence of "coil shape") has a lot to do with it as well.

Wire tension on the top/bottom coil is probably the cause of 90% of hotspot issues.

Just a quick question. I'm getting a lot of popping when I just fire without the top. Like it looks like my vape is fireworks. Any thoughts? Other then that I'm loving the flavor.

No worries on the popping: meaning, its not indicative a problem . .. nor a success. It's just pockets of liquid bursting. It is indicative of wick structure, or the presence of water (i.e. after rinsing your atty).
