Does it heat from the center? I ask cause the spacing looks uneven

What gauge wire? Looks lile maybe 24? What resistance did you end up with? What inside diameter did you wrap around?

Spaced coils like that are fine, but try to get the spacing even and put your bit, mandrel, or screwdriver you wrapped on back in then tilt the ends to straighten them up a bit. Make them as level as possible. Start with them centered between the post holes and adjust from there if needed.

2 bucks + walmart = a cheap of screw drivers.
I would have lined up the coils a hair farther back lining them up on the air flow holes tho.
 
I just built this one instead 24 g kenthal double wire 8 wrap! Heats up more evenly then the single wire and got the resistance down to 0.17 ohms! What do you guys think?!

Nice.
Those holes on the deck are the air flow and what you should line them up to.
but looks 100% better.
