I've seen a lot of that stuff in Fasttechiastan.

I am a believer in the coil has to have enough air around it to vaporize effectively.....a lot of wick means good fuel supply for the long haul but air means more efficient oxygen for vapor production for a cool vape?...my 2cents..

Its said that you should leave somewhat of a gap underneath the coil or coils.
However I like to leave a rather larger gap underneath each coil for max air flow.

not too much just make sure you have a big enough gap under your coil for air to pass under.

There is a guy at a local shop, who wicks just like this. He puts the coils way below the airholes, and jams cotton under them.
Ive helped a couple guys who have had bad luck with his builds, now they are much happier.
My tip: There needs to be lots of room under your coils and the coils themselves should be getting direct airflow (so they should be right in front of, or slightly higher than your airholes).

What everyone else has said - maybe a bit much on the cotton for me, but not outrageous. What matters is having a clear path for air to flow underneath. And don't throw your mod!

What everyone else said. The cotton in the coils and the shoulders look good, but the cotton under the coils is too much. Try something similar to this.

This is perfect, airflow completely around the coil. Plus, I find it wicks better when the tails just touch the deck. The only drawback to that is the "sloshy" deck when it is all juiced up, but worth it by a mile
