...I really can't laugh that hard at my age without fair warning !!!
Let the waiting begin order number 1776 now I wish it came in a red, white, and blue version!
What a good girl!! How awesome is that.
ROFL!!!!That's awesome! Now you gotta teach her to fill the DID tank first
riot, try setting it up on a mechanical device or a Buzz. There not as finicky as a ProVari. Use a multi meter to get your coil to 2.0 - 2.5, (4/5 wrap). Douse it and burn it a few times with VG/PG or any e liquid to carbon it up a little, then put it on the ProVari. It should be fine. Hope this helps.
Another thing to check for is something that drove me nuts during the first few days of DID training. Shorts and hot spots galore despite my solid belief I was doing everything right. Turns out that due to my particularly bad eyesight I missed a few loose strands hanging off the wick that were causing shorts. So make sure you inspect your wick carefully before inserting it into the hole ( 
) and pull out or cut off all those nasty strands.
I found that holding the wick against a mostly white computer screen background provides great visibility for this potential trouble spot.

A 3 inch round magnifying glass is your best friend when building a coil and setting up your DID

Coming from someone that doesn't have any working knowledge with The DID, I read this exact point of concern many times throughout the thread. Those stray mesh hairs are (I guess) seemingly insignificant and otherwise hard to detect, but absolutely necessary to deal with nonetheless.
And let's not forget, for some, nearly invisible
Is it also as hard to feel? I mean, can you run your fingers along the edge and detect, or is it some other kind of way to notice?
Next to impossible to feel. A 400 mesh strand is so fine it is almost imagined. The edge folding method does minimize the problem but strands can still stick out the top and bottom, which in fact was my problem.
Sounds like a job for a magnifying glass! What do you do when you find those strands? Is it just as simple as cutting them off? I almost imagine that janky scissors would produce a less consistent edge.
On the link Uma posted about twisted coils, they were talking about using USB microscopes like this: Amazon.com: Veho VMS-001 x20-x200 Magnification Discovery Digital USB Microscope with Alloy Stand: Camera & Photo
If you fold the edge the hair issue is over. Then when you do the burn the hairs on the bottom glow red. Makes it real easy to see on the top and bottom. I should also add the the stray hairs at the top and bottom almost always get burnt off when heating as well.
