Cool! I do the same, but am still wrapping my coils (on my trusty Home Depot pick tool) before installing the wick. Sounds silly, but I like the coil perfectly round and equal spaced. I'm using the @RWeschler thin walled wick and I find that I mangle the wick if I try and wrap on the wick. It also makes it so I get the perfect contact without being too tight. Sometimes I'll get a little shorting from scraping the wick when I twist it in, but after seasoning the wick with juice a slight twist of the wick clears it up right away.

And I take it a different way. I'll wrap my coil on my wick, then slowly remove the coil. Then I take the coiled parts, and compress them between my fingers. This sounded odd to me at first, but it works and that's all I care about. Once it's compressed, I gently slide the wick back into place and connect. Toothpick adjustments and it's been firing for me every time.

My only "unresolved" issue is that the coil and wick for Boba's Bounty seems to get taxed BADLY. Meaning every other day, I have to remove the wich, torch it, pulse burn the coil, reinsert, re-fill and drop a couple on the wick directly. Seems no other juice taxes the setup as much as Boba's. But I'm at the point where I'll just attribute it to the juice. Note: This process takes me less than 5 minutes of "cleanup" maintenance.

Is Jim going to find out your DID #? I thought if we buy the new cap, it will just sport whatever number available, not retroactively matched to your actual DID.

i asked for my production# while i was waiting for my first DID to arrive,,guess i am stuck getting order# etched on mine ??

Further coil and wick talk: One thing I have also noted for those with shorts, make sure when you are creating and oxidizing your wick, you include in your burn the the very top and bottom of wick. I will usually shift torch to be facing the fill hole of the wick dead on, and often burn away tiny hairs coming off this area. If they wont burn away, Ill use a scissor to shave them off. A single stray hair can reach the bottom of the tank and cause intermittent, drive you crazy, hard to see shorts. Also, I keep a long needle around in case the top of wick shifts towards the outside, and the bottom contacts the center pole. I insert the needle all the way through the installed wick, (side benefit is it clears out the center tube area of wick in case juice has congealed and is slowing down wicking,) and wiggle or adjust it back into place. Can usually make slight vertical adjustments without disturbing the coil much. Make sure if you needle adjust, you also recheck and secure the nuts. My coils are lasting into the weeks now with only slight adjustments required from time to time. Have noticed might need an adjustment after very sharp physical movement or heavy vibration, but for the most part coil and wick adjustments have faded into a rarely required minor irritant. Stability and low maintenance have taken over my DID. I rarely clean it other than the occasional paper towel wipe down, or dry coil burn when the tank gets close to empty. I have been running my current coil for 2 weeks, and prior coil for 3 to 4 weeks.
Excellent point! I do this as well. Cutting the 45% angle right after the rolling, assures that the newly cut end will be torched. After torching one end, I'll remove from the paperclip, slide it back on backwards and torch the other end, assuring both ends are torched good. It really helps!

Only time it happened to me was when I tried the rolling paper trick, since then I stopped doing that and no more fire. Rolling paper are very optional, any rebuildable atomizer can work just as good without any.
If the tobacco paper is used, make sure it's just a tiny slice of it. I like to cut off the gummed strip and toss it. That leaves a good 4 or more slices to work with on my wick. After it's coiled, fire it up (on low 3.2), let it catch fire, then blow away the ashes. Repeat as needed. The paper disappears, it won't be on your wick anymore at all. Juice it up, fire it up on low, repeat many times as needed, then start vaping. Scott covers it in his video pretty well.

Ive never tried to oxidize with a stove, but I know others have. I use to smoke cigars so I use an old micro torch. I know, reading this thread must scare the heck out of people who have yet to receive their DIDs, hundreds of methods and suggestions seem to suggest this is rocket science, but be reassured. This thread is full to the brim of people, like myself, who are detailing the finer points, as they see it, of the product. It really is simple, and the basic principal once understood, will make you laugh at the amount of trial and error we have all put in. Also, the real beauty of the device is many roads lead to your personal fulfillment. I would hazard a guess the vast majority are tweaking this device to suit their personal style. Therein lies the difference between any other method of vaping, CHOICE. I have not purchased an atomizer since the day my DID arrived. Truly, the quality of the product and the vape it produces have ruined me for any other method of vaping. Want to run it hot, set it up that way, want move vapor less TH, set it up that way, want to run a mech mod, set it up with low ohms, want vv, set it up with as high an ohms reading as you want, facilitated by the large wick hole, you can run this thing up to 4.0 or higher ohms if you want. Even if you have no clue about what I am talking about, ( I sure didn't when I started with this device 3 months ago, Ohms? Resistant? Watts? Amps?) you will quickly learn because it will affect and contribute to your ultimate perfect vape. So, I guess what I'm saying is have fun and enjoy this very cool device and once in your hands you will soon be giving advice to others about how to perfect it!

+1 Well said!!!
