Don't feel bad. I've been here for a long time. I still can't figure it out. Had instructions too. Lol

Try tinypic image hosting. I am curious to see how you did them myself. I just received mine last week and was amazed with how complicated it was. Not teh coils but balancing the cotton and getting inconstant flow.

Imgur upload -> copy the Direct Link -> landscape picture icon at the top and paste the url

Then there's the other option:

"Upload file" button below the reply box to the right (next to post reply), find the file and upload it and wait a second and choose thumbnail or full size.

I always scottish roll the wick, then cut it so it just fills the juice holes, maybe a little bit of cotton coming through the bottom. Doing it that way seems to seal it up enough that I didn't have any leaks taking it in a backpack getting tossed around on a weekend trip, but still wicks up nicely.

i dont see how you are getting the wick to saturate around the coils enough. I have even been using spaced claptons hoping the juice flows better. it doesnt.

Works just fine for me. Just have to tilt it while you vape and maybe give it a flip every few vapes and give it a second and flip it back over and vape. I do the same thing for my Theorem and Haze as well (don't flip the haze though as it has it's refill hole always open, but it also wicks fastest just tilting).

Same here on my Avocado you almost have to turn the tank upside down to see my wicks.

The coil leads, to get them more symmetrical place one lead from each coil in the top post hole and one lead in the bottom post hole.
