• If you are doing a dual coil build then repeat the previous
steps, so that you end up with 2 completed coils.
• Next comes wicking your coil. The amount of cotton you need

it shouldn’t be packed too tight or it will not be able to soak up
the juice properly.
• Using your forefinger & thumb gently roll the cotton, which
will make it easier to post through the coil. Wetting the end
slightly can also help.
• Now gently post this through the coil, making sure not
to bend it. As you slide it through the coil it should have
