Amount of wicking

[manson]

I'm currently using an Aspire Nautilus with my own coils and cotton. I'm thinking about going to a 28mm Atty. Is there a min/max amount of wicking to use or does it come down to personal preference ? Is there an ideal amount ?

I'm pretty marginally-experienced, at coiling, wicking, but it makes sense that the wicking fully contacts the inside of the coil but NOT to the point of constriction, and fans out loosely and down into the well of the RD/TA's, just contacting all the lower areas, so any juice in the well is accessible to the cotton of the wick

There you have it! Atomisation needs to be equal or less than the wick's ability to get juice to the coil. The math is easy, the lower the resistance or the higher the power applied, the faster the atomisation. I call this "out-vaping the coil"

..and the thinner in viscosity the juice is, the faster it can flow to the wick, based upon juice channel size, rate of evaporation..(voltage applied to a given resistance of coil.)
