First coil, am I doing it right?

[cherrytargaryen]

7 wraps of 26g kanthal on the troll rda, came out at .7 ohms. Any constructive feedback is very welcome.

From the pics it looks like a not quite enough cotton. Where is the coil in relation to the airholes?

 

[cherrytargaryen]

The airholes sit in front of the coil. They're so big on the troll it's hard to miss.
I'll try more cotton thank you!

You want the cotton so it's really snug and fills the internal diameter of the coil.

Thanks, I'll have another go after my nap and let you know how I get on

You could center the coil more by using the other positive post hole, makes the wicking easier.
Tidy coil there.

Very tidy coil work there, that is very impressive for a first attempt!

As above, centre the coil a little and add a little more cotton and that should be good to go

Very impressive first attempt.

Nice clear pics.
Others have said it all.
You have it almost sorted.
Well done.

Wish my first attempts were as clean as that..

Nice work!
