First thing, relax buddy... this will become easier as you think through each step and realise what it does.
Please don't keep junking a wick and coil if it's not working first time. A little manipulation, reoxidising and fiddling with the coil is the order of the day. Take each step slowly. I eagerly threw everything together the first time too and was miffed when it didn't work first time.
First watch Jim's video two or three times, noting that he oxidises the coil wire (Kanthal) too. Scott doesn't do this, but puts a few drops of juice on the coil BEFORE the first few dry burns. Bear in mind what Jim said about the wick, that it should be a snug fit. Works for me because I oxidise the wick until it's BLACK!!! Don't skimp on this step, it's the basis for everythng else. More is better than not enough. The idea is to fully insulate the wick during the oxidising process so it doesn't conduct & short out your coil.
Your wick should end up like a black straw, so that it wicks well (draws up juice by capillery action), the heat of your coil helping to draw it up.
Now the coil.... I've not fitted a coil that has no hot spots first time. So follow Jims vid to wrap your coil. Make sure there is the minimum of wire between the two connection points and your coils. Lube your wick well and snap fire a few times. DON'T hold your fire button continuously just yet. Gradually hit the fire button for longer each time. If your coil glows red at any time adjust ANY of the coils AROUND the hotspot. Moving the hotspot doesn't always solve the problem. Once the snap fires show no hot spots, lube your coil again and vape away.
Any problems come back and we'll help you sort it out.
Happy vaping!!
