Is your fill screw out? Take it out and retry. Tip and fire before you put the cap on and make sure the coils don't turn red, well quickly anyway

100 % VG?
In this case, you have to add water or vodka. VG density is very large and it is poorly penetrates the wick. Normally up to 10% of the liquid volume.
The proportions can be found using a calculator - http://www.ecigexpress.com/ejuice-calculator.php
One way of winding the coil can be found here -

If you create a wick with a little bit of a hole in the center, or even a straw like wick I have noticed that I never have wicking issues with 100% vg juice. Try it out.

I used tightly-wound solid #400 & #500 SS wicks (70mm) in my AGA-T2 for quite a while and didn't have problems with them at all (I've since switched it to a ceramic wick) ... and that was with Boba's Bounty (100% VG).

A couple of key factors though - as suggested above - leave the fill hole open, don't over-oxidize the wick (one cleaning burn before you roll, and once afterward is all you need), and most important: give the wick some time to break in! It usually takes at least a tank full of juice until they really start wicking correctly.

If you have problems with hot-spots because of the lack of heavy oxidation on the wick- use the Petar-K or drill-bit method to make your coils - easy to do & hotspots will be either non-existent, or very simple to remedy.

Worked for me.....
