I've been trying to get this done for a while, but, hands that do muppetry ! lol this may be another one @junglist (When you've time !
) might be worth a 'sticky' 
Manual coil priming.
I think we've all heard the usual instructions for new coils.
Fit coil
Fill tank
Wait 5/10/15 minutes for the juice to fully saturate coil
Vape.
I think a lot have seen the question, 'I changed my coil, waited 10 minutes, and got a bad taste. Have I burnt my coil ?'
TBH, I always found that a bit too hit n miss ! You go through all that, and HOPE the wick is saturated after waiting up to 15 minutes. (It should be after 15 mins !)
Why not spend 5 minutes priming the coil 'manually' and cut out the guesswork ?
There's a few good reasons why you should.
1. You'll be SURE the wick is saturated.
2. You can start vaping as soon as you fill the the tank.
3. You'll save 10 minutes hanging about waiting on osmosis to saturate the wick.
I've used a Zephyrus .5 ohm twin coil, but this will work with any pre made coils I've seen. I have the coil & tank base on a mod to make it a easier to handle.
This is the fresh unprimed .5ohm coil, reading at .62ohm. (DNA200, so bang on acurate)

This will be well known to any rda/rta users.
Here's how it's done, and welcome to the world of vapeing with 'hands that do muppetry' lol
It's difficult to see in the vid, you can see the juice soaking into the wick slots, I also fired the coil for a second a couple of times @ 18w, this helps draw the juice into the wick.
Same coil, primed and fitted in the tank.

Now reading .55ohm, this will settle with use to around .49 - .52ohm. Yes, it's a different mod, Mrs TBA needed the VTbox.
but, DNA200, so bang on. 
Coil primed, no guess work, no is it/isn't it, just DONE, in under 3 minutes.
