Protank Cotton Rebuild, the way I do it

Pull Some cotton off of the ball, you really don't need much:

Roll the cotton into a thin wick with one end tapered to make it easier to thread through the coil:

Thread through the coil until you encounter resistence enough to move the coil instead of sliding cotton through (this would be the time to make final adjustments to the coil if needed):

Trim Cotton:

Insert chimney and slide on rubber grommet:

At this point all you need to do is let it soak in a tank for a few minutes (doesn't take long with cotton) and enjoy the clean flavor of cotton.

Some side notes:

If you are getting gurgling or flooding at first give it some time before you consider adding any cotton flavor wicks to stop it, the cotton will expand as it completely soaks.

Do not over compress the cotton to get it small enough to thread in, if you do it will expand in the coil and can choke off some of the wicking causing dry hits and poor performance.

Never dry burn cotton, if flavor is tapering off do the following:

gently pull wick out of coil
dry burn coil (careful 32awg Kanthal will break if heated to much)
roll new wick with above technique
insert new wick
soak and vape

Edit: I realize the rubber grommet is not on the last pic but I do put it on and have not had any issues.
