I have been building for a long time but never took the time to correctly make sure my coils were tight. I would be as careful as I could when I was putting the leads through and tightening the post but after that I'd get impatient and just throw some cotton through and call it a day.

Oh, so you have a micro coil. The youtube videos are really helpful. Basically get a pair of tweezers and make the coil red, let go of the power and lightly squeeze. Let it cool while squeezed and do it again. Just don't power it while you have the tweezers touching the coil or you'll short it. They make ceramic tweezers to be safer.

You can simply opt for not making them that tight. I prefer it loose, first because I don't have to heat them up to sqeeze them together and second because I like the idea of cotton being "free" not only to soak up liquid but also to let it go (comparatively) freely as vape.

You also might consider a Kuro Koiler or Coilmaster tool. Both will make very nice, tight micro coils.

I tighter them on initial Posting, then adjust the Coil to position level and proper spacing for Air Inlets (obviously depending on AFC design & placement on RDA / RBA ), then check Post Screw Tightness again, then test fire several times starting at quick bursts getting longer on burst duration as the Coils "come in" until fully and evenly glowing, then readjust Coils if necessary & re-check Post Screw tightness..

from what Ive read, your getting coils pretty and then you wick and they mess up?? how much wick are you using and what size wire? another trick I use when installing coils is to leave the coil on the shaft it was wound on, place coil, set screws, align coil, remove shaft...

Rip Trippers has some great videos on how to make coils and the proper techniques involved. When firing a coil the first time, don't throw a lot of power at it and don't try to get the coil red the first time. I've found that the legs have a tendency to get hot first on the first few firings and they will melt if you're not careful.

What are the ingredients in e-liquid?
The two main ingredients of e-liquid are VG (Vegetable Glycerin) and Propylene Glycol (PG), which are both widely found in food and medicine. The levels of VG and PG will always add up to 100%, for example, 70% VG / 30% PG or 50% VG / 50% PG.
What is the difference between VG and PG?
PG basically bonds flavouring and nicotine to the e-liquid , therefore the more PG usually translated to increased flavour. VG, on the other hand, relates to how much cloud is produced, with higher VG consistencies producing larger amounts of vapour.
