I ordered a svc storm gennissi atty and i put a un-oxidized wick in said atty wrapped a coil and vaped my face off for about 2 weeks. I found a awesome juice that breaks down pc tanks and it came with a clear pc tube and a stainless steel tube so i dont need to order a glass tank section. but if the wick touches the ss tube when i use it will that short out my coil????

It's actually a trick question... Ideally the wick wouldn't touch anything except the coil but odds are your wick is already touching the deck where it enters the wick hole so any shorting that can occur is already occurring.
The other thing is that you just want to make sure that the wick isn't touching both the deck/tank (which in ground) and the positive post (which is positive). When this happens the wick can make a complete circuit, independent of the coil. If its touching one or the other (not both) the electricity still has to pass through the wire to complete the circuit.

So, worst case scenario... You'll experience a slight voltage drop because the wick is acting like a voltage divider but it won't cause a dead short.
