lol soooo much information here.
@Dieseler - I will try to fold thewick, i unrolled one wick already just to make sure there weren't any little goblins in there makin my life hell. So ill try to rewrap that tonight at fold the end.
@t8kiteasy - It's the Birkshire from gotvapes oh and I have been heating the coil up as well with the torch
@rule62 - I reoxidized the wick 6 extra times to give more more layers on it. I'm really starting to wonder if it the wire or im just an idiot lol
Nah, you're not an idiot. You're just frustrated. There are lots of methods for building these things. Tons of youtube videos out there. Here's basically how I do it.
Find a drill bit, finishing nail, or whatever, that is about the size of the wick hole, but slides in.
Take a piece of wire, and heat it up with a lighter or mini torch, to red hot. This will take some tension out of the wire, and make it easier to work with.
Wrap your wire around the drill bit or nail, to create your coil, leaving an inch or so on each end, for eventually connecting to the + and -.
Slide the bit or nail into the hole, with the coil still on it; and connect the + and -. Just snug the connections for now. You'll finish tightening them later.
Very carefully remove the drill bit or nail from the center of the coil. You'll be left with just the coil, without the wick inside it.
Using low voltage, very quickly fire the coil a couple times, to make sure it works.
Now, this is the important part. Roll and size your wick so that it slides through your coil and into the tank. The wick should go in with some slight resistance. You don't want it to freely fall through; but you don't want to force it either. Stop before the wick touches the bottom of the tank.
Now, loosen the top (+) nut, and pull the top of the wick and coil until it's as close as possible to the center post, without touching it.
Tighten the top nut.
Look at the bottom coil, and if there are no spaces between the wick and bottom coil wrap, tighten the screw. If there's a noticeable space, gently loosen the screw, pull the wire to take up the slack, and tighten the screw.
Now you're ready to test your finished product.
Hit your power button, and see that all coils are glowing evenly.
If they're not, you can gently prod the offending loop with a toothpick.
If they're all good, bump up the voltage a bit, and fire it again.
Each time you fire it, you are not only testing, but you're "seasoning" your coil.
Once you're satisfied, put a drop or two of juice on the coil, and fire it, to burn off.
Do this "burn off" 3 or 4 times.
Now, clip off the excess wire at the + and - connections.
Fill the tank, put the cap on, and vape.
I generally start out vaping at a lower voltage, and gradually increase it, to break in the set up.
Hope some of this helps.
