I'm concerned about getting shorts with it. Do I still need to keep the wick from touching the bottom of the tank? And when I'm pulsing it should by button get hot?
Unoxodized mesh?

There's a few things going on here. By using the pulsing method, you're essentially shorting out the coil, your pulses should go very fast and ideally if properly insulated, the coils should get warm from both ends at the same time. Otherwise, you'll see it start at positive and work it's way towards the negative.
It's best if you use this method only if you're very experienced and you know what your end ohms are going to be based solely on your wire wraps and how tight your coils are. Anything else and you're risking running a very low ohm setup that may be too much for your batteries. A MM will not help here, because until the coil is oxidized it's going to be shorted.
That all being said; because you're running a shorted setup and slowly spreading through pulsing the oxidation of the coil and mesh at the same time, yes your battery will run warm, which will result in your button getting warm. If it's getting to hot to touch; i'd recommend letting your battery cool down for a few minutes in a well ventilated area (try a fan) Continuing while hot is just asking for a thermal runaway discharge and subsequent venting.

Hope this helps, and vape safe man!

Yeah, just keep an eye on the temp. I was trying to pulse on a 3.6v bat with some thin wire (must have been 32?) that came with my AGA-T2 and things were getting warm on my Sigelei #20, just popped the battery after 5-8 pulses to check it/the hot spring/the button.
i use them, love them too. takes a bit but usually the idiea is the coil will oxidize the mesh right where its needed then as long as your not moving the coil or wick it should not matter what it touches.
I have found a few drops of juice for the early pulses helps keep things in check a little better. once done to where all coils glow even, add juice a couple more times and fire it to glowing.
the juice taste so much better and the tank stays cleaner and usually you can drop the voltage a little lower then normal until the wick and coil get coated and still get a great vape.

Can someone please direct me to a Video or thread that talks about how to Oxidse mesh? and if you are using Unoxidised mesh what is pulsing to oxidise it?
pulsing is just touching the button real quick.
in the beginning only part of the first coil will glow is it shorts out on the steel wick and holding the button will pop the coil, by pulsing or rapidly firing the button you let the coil slowly oxidize the wick, as you pulse you can slwly see the coil glow working its way around the wick until the whole thing is glowing, once that is done you just drip a little juice on it to make sure it fires even and builds a coating. then just fill and vape. there is no slow wicking problems or no break in time as the wick isnt burned or coated with black ash.
in this thread i give a quick tutorial with pictures also others posted videos

doing a forum search will bring up many threads talking about this.

I roll some mesh, hit it with a torch for 20s, and wrap a coil.
Pulsing isn't any easier than that.
