I'm just saying they are more prone to spitting than other coils. It gets exaggerated as you get more surface area I think.
When I was using clapton and under wicked I could still use it. Now I can't.

But you were using cotton back then and not rayon ?
Nope, I've been using rayon since before I started making my own clapton. Either way it's the same scale of events. Use too little and it tastes bad, a little more and it'll spit.
I've also noticed too little airflow will cause spitting.

I've used a lot of it, i bought a mega box 12-18months back, was great in the Aromamizer and works okay in the Limitless but i much prefer plain old ... cotton or bacon in bigger id coil's, the thickness of the wick tail's with rayon can get ridiculous and yes you can taper them to make them thinner but then you end up with maybe only half the wick ends touching the well where the juice is, juice doesn't travel across rayon as well as it does along it's length, cotton does any direction at its own same speed.
And bc rayon moves juice from the tip of the tails to the coils faster then in turn it should spit more when compared to cotton.
I use rayon exclusively. For the fastest wicking possible you just whack half of the wick off right at the coil. Leave the rest just long enough to sit on under the deck.
For leak resistance you still cut half off but you do it even with the deck and the rest dangles in the tank. The idea being that all of the wick is blocking the hole and the rest is pulling up juice.
The wicking is still very fast and there's enough material to run the tank dry and vape for a while on it.
I rarely tilt mine but when I do it amazes me that I can watch a quarter of the tank capacity turn into bubbles in about one second.
To be honest my Cthulhu and Limitless attys have never seen cotton and I can't even begin to imagine using it in them. I doubt I could make the Limitless leak proof on it's side. I still have a .... load of cotton though. I did love platinum blend.

Yeah, having half sat on the deck and half feeding through into the tank is an excellent method, having the end of the wicks sat on the deck is the way to go, you don't gain anything from laying any extra along the deck on its side.
I don't get any leaking from the limitless with 3mm id coils and cotton running straight through the deck holes, i don't trim anything off the thickness. It did leak when using 2.5mm id, and 3.5id can be a little tight and choke itself, leading to dry hits.
Cotton is so much quicker to install, no faffing about tapering tails required and feeds the juice at a perfect speed for me, i find that rayon feeds to fast for its own good unless like i said, used in a small tank with small id coils.
I'll spend twice as long manicuring my wicks. I don't have to do it again till the coil gunks up so I'm fine with it. I've been doing it long enough I've got it down. 8 cuts and stuff the hole. Lol.

Coils are looking good WhiteOwl.
Wish I can build again. Been busy as heck with the new job. I'm still just using simple claptons in the Origen 19/22.

You know what they say ... 37th time is a charm.
This is 34g/24g Ni80 -- with some colors
Need a proper macro lens -- but there she is, all wicked and juiced.
I take my pics with my iphone and a clip on lens (2in1 Professional 0.45X Wide Angle 12.5X Macro Camera Lens Kit For Phone Tablet) My shots are very similar to yours when taken inside under false light but if i go outside even on a dull day they are so much better under real light.
Owl that's a nice clean helix ya got going on there! I've been in mass production mode lately, I have a few larger orders to fill so it's primarily B-stock blem coils for me right meow. But I did find some interlocks that have been sitting on a swivel in stick form for a while now.
And they colored beautifully...
Not to mention you can see them from the top down

So first time doing a framed alien staple and I cheated a bit using 34g for the wrap as it was easier to work with. I used 28g n80 frames and 4 ply of ka1 ribbon and the plan was to wrap it with 36g or 38g n80 however it wasn't coming out the way I wanted I didn't have any 34g n80 so I grabbed the kanthal. I have been using primarily n80 or 316l for my claptoning and I forgot how much easier kanthal is to work with. I have been using 36g/38g/40g for my fused claptons and also for my staple coils but thinner wire has been giving me a fair bit of trouble as far as aliens are concerned.
Edit
The alien wrapping is still very loose in some areas.... Not quite coil porn but I am getting better
Edit edit
Note to self I am not a fan of staples with small ribbon wire and so few ply. If i had wrapped these with 6 pieces of ribbon or 8 ply I think It would have been a much better vape as it is with 4 pieces it's ramping so fast I am getting a strange taste almost as if its burning the juice or the cotton .
