Looks like your bottom coil is to close to the insulator (assuming its present). Can you side your wick up and down with the wire giving some resistance but not the kind where you have to pull and it pulls the coil too. When you pull the wick, does the insulator pull too, if so then you likely melted the insulator a bit and your favor is off cause its not wicking right now. That bottom coil needs to have attn paid to it when wrapping on the Zen cause if not you will have headaches.
coil is not touching insulator and it has not melted
Also I am copy and pasting everything you have said in a seperate window to try out when the Ihybrid gets here
