Wowsers, nice job on the coil!
Except its upside down...
Start on the topside of the mandrel and wrap clockwise, that way when you rotate the coil 180 degrees for mounting there will be a leg on the left at the bottom and the right. This will allow you to pull the wire around the screws the proper way for tightening.

You also have no where near enough Rayon in that coil, which is why you are getting the burnt hits. You have to use more Rayon than you would with cotton. I would probably use twice the amount you have there, holding the coil in place with a finger nail while pulling the Rayon through not tight enough that you cant pull, but tight enough that you need to keep the coil in place. Then pulling the wick back and forth so it will slide in the coil but not very easily. Fluff the wick ends, thin the density of the tail by half 1 or 2 mm away from the coil edge and trim so it just touches the deck.
juice up the wick, put the bottom part of the chimney on and adjust the wick away from the little juice channels inside.
I don't usually work with 30g, I put 28g in the Mini. I don't have any Mini build pics, but you want it to end up looking like this when it's wet.

The bottom tail going to the deck is like a Mullet if that makes sense.![]()
Thanks, dear! Yeah - I want the legs of the coil to get caught in the screws, but I can't wrap a coil right-handed! (I tried one "underhanded" - didn't work well



LOL!!!!!!
Forever NOW KNOWN as the TD Mullet build!!!!!! (love that!)
BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
