Yes, nelsonbloke, it is very confusing, so there's also an abbreviation list on here, done by our very own giles. Post #6 for abbreviations, the stuff before helps an awful lot too.

If you are using double twisted .15 Kanthal, you will half the resistance of a single length of .15mm.
You will gain a little in terms of surface area but that will be short lived due to the twist getting gunked up.
If you use 9 wraps around a 1.5mm drill bit, you should end up with about 1.4ish ohms.
After the coil is mounted on the kanger head (having first done the pinching and heating), then pulse the fire button 5 or 6 times to make sure you have even heating and no shorts.
Once cooled, take some pulled cotton wool, twist the end into a point and thread through the coil.
To get the correct amount of cotton wool, you need to be able to pull it back and forth easily through the coil without feeling much resistance.
The cotton wool should be touching the whole of the internal coil circumference but move easily from side to side.
If you find that the wick is difficult to pull from side to side, then there is too much cotton wool.
After you have trimmed the wick just a tad bigger than the flange of the Kanger head, you need to "fluff up the ends"
Then just prime the wick with about 2 drops on each end of the wick and 1 drop directly on to the coil.
Pop the chimney and silicone cap back on, re-assemble your attie and leave to stand for a couple of minutes.
You should not get any leaks or dry hits.
Have a look at Super Shiney`s tutorial and you should not go wrong.
Also be aware that if you pull too hard when you take a toke or have the air control too far closed, you can pull too much juice through which will cause flooding.
Keep us updated, I am sure between us, we will sort you

Edit:- Also make sure that all your tank connections are air tight and silicon seals are not damaged. If air can get in then juice can get out.

Actually, nelsonbloke, Windows 8.1 has an easier option:

RIGHT-click in the very bottom left corner and a *very* useful menu pops up

Select: Task manager > startup and you'll see a full list of programs/processes that are set to run when you boot your computer - and the impact each one has! You can disable obvious ones and google the cryptic ones. If you don't feel confident, just disable them one at a time and reboot each time. If it does something *oops!*, re-enable it and try again.

It sounds a bit cumbersome, but it's really simple once you try it.

Yes, it will. That's why I use thicker Kanthal.

You could always do one less wrap... how many are you doing?

t.b.h. there is no chance I could make your set-up work.
