Since i started wicking for some reason i defaulted to building a 'size 30' coil and i never really ended up with a good result, i was having to rewick too often and getting dry hits as the cotton wasn't wicking as consistently as it should. Basically it was all a bit hit and miss.
I have just started building 'size 40' coils instead and feeding the wick back through on itself like this:
After doing a bit of raking , about 50% goes into each juice channel and the rest gets cut a bit shorter
Then i just juice the hell out of the rest of it:
It seems to work like an absolute charm. it wicks up brilliantly and i only need to change it after about two weeks..it just seems to not get all gummy/burned like i am used too..
So, is this a popular method I have just stumbled across?
ETA: jeez, i should have cleaned my kit..the photo's really show up what a slob i am
