That shore is purdy, Ron!

One suggestion I've seen when building a single coil on a 3-post rda is to maybe center the coil so it's a bit more in line with the center post. I tried that on my Atomic not too long ago, and it helped me balance out the wicking so it was a little more centered too. Didn't feel like I had to cram it all to one side. Maybe in my head, but I think it wicks better....

Now, whatcha gonna load that up with?

One thing I would suggest as well is put the coil more in front of the airhole. Only half of of the coil looks to be in front of the airhole. I think you'd enjoy the vape a bit more if it was centered there. Plus wicking would be easier as mentioned above.

As far as watts, just play with it and adjust to taste. I never paid attention to watts, just adjusted up or down to how I enjoyed it.

See, (not the same atty), but you can see with the top cap on, you can see the coils through the airhole on mine.

It really varies. I like to keep mine above the airflow slightly so the air goes underneath the coil. I seem to get much better vapor and flavor this way with it raised slightly higher :D

Higher I can understand, it just looks like his is a little to the right. Might be the picture not sure,
