need help with building coil :( recoil like 10+ coils and still not right

[jemton]

billow v2

dual coil

26gauge
6wraps
kanthal
i made sure the coils were coil evenly , no pancaking, no one wrap bigger than the other or etc.
( i was thinking if its when i insert the coil into the deck post and cutting < maybe this process i've dont wrongly but i followed exactly what a few youtubers did )

insert coil into post while the screw driver was still on the coil, screw down the post and cut the coil as short as possible from the other side. position the coil to the centre of airhole and start pulsing to see if light evenly

coils are lighting up more towards one side ( not lighting up from the centre out its more towards leftside out ) ... no idea why...

tried struming, using pliers to press them ( dont have a ceramic tweezers )

getting poping sounds too

< video link to how it looks

can someone please tell me whats causing this?
would really really appreciate it alot as ive been trying for the longest time.

Have you tried sliding the rod through the coils? Not sure what causes that, but I have managed to get them more even and that will work even though it's not ideal.

Yes i have done that too it made no difference

Honestly they aren't bad at all. I would give that bottom one one more squeeze then light them up a few times again, and I think you'll be ok. That one may be closer to the inside of the deck a hair, too. Put your screwdriver back in and pull it out a little maybe. But, your so close if you don't get them exactly perfect, I would just go ahead and use them.

Also give all your screws one more check for tightness.

Check all is tight and same amount of wraps each coil and each coil is the same distance from the posts.Now pulse and try another strum and one on the inside of each using a drill bit or screw driver.

Roxy is right there not that far off and probably when using more power the ramp up time between them may be even less noticeable.

Wick them and juice them and give some test fires see how they look producing the vape.

I don't have ceramic tweezers (yet) either - but just to check - you should squeeze these coils WHILE HOT from being fired. CAREFUL not to squeeze WHILE firing - that's an insta-short. But squeeze while hot - and HOLD squeezed as they cool.
That may be all you need to get them to even out.
Note - the one you just squeezed last will, defying what you'd expect, heat up SLOWER than the other one. It's OK - go ahead and squeeze that one too, and they'll even out and hopefully get a more even middle-out glow.

Good luck!
