I'm getting into RBAs. What does running the coil wire along the top cap do?
Your bottom coil is IMHO going to give you muted flavor at best and burned taste/hotspots at worst.
Try to gently snug up that bottom coil (get rid of the air gap there), and pull it down (get rid of the air gap there) so it runs along the base of the top platform until it starts it climb on the wick.
Great looking first attempt though
I'll take a look at that later tonight and bust out the dental pick, thanks for the advice
I'm assuming that by not having the wire in contact with the cap that small segment will heat up without actually heating up liquid, causing it to get hotter faster creating a hot spot and waste energy.

My gunmetal bolt @ 3.7v with an 18650 and extension tube. It has a smoktech pro tank (6ml) I want to get a vivi nova soon. The smoktech is okay and it's working but I want to try other things
Running it along the top cap keeps it grounded until it starts to climb the wick. With it up off the cap it can heat up and short. If its sitting on the cap it cant get hot and short. Always keep the wire down on the cap until the absolute last possible point where it has to rise.
EDIT: Remember the body (top cap) is the negative part of the circuit, thats why the neg connector is just a screw that fastens to the top plate.

Not top cap "base of the top platform", this is the flat plate with the wickhole and the ground or negative connection are. Keeping the wire running flat and in contact with this grounds your coil until it reaches you mesh wick, and in doing this you stop that bit of wire (or that part of your coil) from heating up until it is on the wick. If the wire is already glowing when you do your first dry burn, before it meets the mesh wick, you will have a hotspot (giving burnt taste and /or burning through oxidization layer of mesh, creating a short) at that point where it meets the wick, and no amount of nudging or fiddling with the coil will fix it.
