Best way to wick. Threading or Resting?

Ive been messing with my cotton for the past two days, tinkering figuring the best way to place the coils (24g 7wrap x2)
and i want more opinions on what most people prefer when it comes to them wicking.

These days I only thread it but I used to make dragon coils which I wrapped the cotton round instead. They were ok. But I don't think you get a lot of return in comparison for the amount of time spent making dandy builds. So I just keep it simple now.

When you thread it, do you keep the wick long so you can tuck it? or do you just go straight through?
 
I've been resting my coils on top of small wads of cotton and I'm getting huge output, but there have to be more ways
to wick

i make mine look like what I call, dog bones. I do my best to rest a little from each tail back under itself just to the point of sitting under the coil, i keep the top and the sided free from wick while having to big ol puffy ends, then I indent the middles just a little so vapor can shoot out of the middle from the ends of the coil....dog bones hehehehe. My favorite way to wick so far, the dragon coil was not so awesome for me and trying to wick the inception coil was a nightmare lol.

i use tons of wick on a dripper. actually, i use a lot on an rda as i only use the russian 91% now. on a kayfun i would try and get away with as little wick as possible.

First off Hobby Kid,,,i have to say I respect you a lot and over the months have learned a lot from your post.On my Kayfun builds I really have to disagree with you on as little wick as possible,,,when I put a build on my Kayfun the wicking method I use is the navy nest style

this method has never failed for me ,,,never a dry hit and never flooded out,,,,and from the picture you can see this is far from as little wick as possible

What can I say ... Awsome! I did try the navy nest actually, to no I think this goes to show that you can't write off anything in vape. I mean, I can't vape 100% vg in a standard Kayfun but that's the only way some vapers will use one. Just wondering, is that an authentic?

I recently got my posts deleted and kinda chucked out of a Facebook group for mentioning clones (counterfeits they called them) in kayfun group

Yeah! That's the group that kicked me out. Oh well. My life wouldn't be complete without being kicked out of somewhere at least once a month :D

My first mini kayfun was authentic and cost over $100. My next three were clones and cost about $15. I don't know which are which anymore.

When I first saw this image I thought it was a cup of hot chocolate.
