make sure you have oxidized the mesh well, I usually do it before I roll and after, burn it with some eliquid 4-6 times then it is ready (probably overkill but it is fun

) pass your wire through a flame 2 or 3 times, this will help get rid of any taste on the wire and makes it easier to work with. Don't wrap the coil too tight, try not to have the top nut on tight, just tight enough that it is not loose....think of the coil as water flowing down a spiral tube, if you are getting hotspots just use a tack or something small to bump the wire just below the glowing part....all the way until it is all burning bright. If you are getting alot of errors, chances are it is shorting on the wick somewhere....little hairs sticking out somewhere? You can also try the drill bit method for wrapping the coil, then once you get the coil set up, drop your wick in....you probably know all of this, but if there is anything else let me know......I almost through mine out the window the first day I had it, I was very mad hahah, but it will come and when it does it will be worth it.
