In tc you only have it at 60watts. If it's a dual coil you can go much higher. Have you tried 100watts?

Same here.
Yes.
I'm also having issues wicking my Cthulhu v2 and Crius.
Could it be that I use Max VG with organic cotton? If so, what wicking material is better?

Rayon is the answer you seek.

Another vote for rayon. It can handle max vg. I use it in all my tanks and drippers.
Rayon Wick - Better Flow, Flavor, Longevity, and Nic Hit!! - Pt.2
Mine arrived today. First time building dual coils. I went vertical on the velocity deck.
Coming from a subtank mini this is a major upgrade.
It eats my istick's 50 watts for breakfast and no sign of dry hit.
Wicking is super easy and no leaking at all.
Just go vertical with enough cotton to cover the deck but barely touching it.
Rocking at 45 watts 0.5 ohm dual 26g 7 wraps vertical.
I love it.

And I'm another advocate of rayon. Cotton is for tampons; rayon is for wicking!
Nonsense, condoms are sheep skin, glue is from hooves, paper is made from flattened papyrus plants, and tampons are cotton.
Where are you living, in some future world where we can create new and bizarre materials tailor made for the purpose they will be used for?
Put tampons and maxi-pads in your First Aid kits. Tampons can be used pack bloody noses and pack open wounds. Maxi-pads work well as compresses for large bleeding wounds.
Take it from the woman here, they are
Tampons can pack bullet wounds, too. And pads are great for large wounds. And wounds for large animals like horses.
Vertical Coils and Leakage
I know there was discussion about leakage from the air holes early on in this thread, but wanted to share a few things I found as I think they relate to a possible cause of some leakage reports. I'm running dual vertical coils and in the past few days have notice minor leaking around the air holes, as well as juice dripping out of the chimney when I set the tank over to fill it. I keep my tank vertical most of the time and never lay it on its side. With the deck out for another refill, I decided to investigate the wicking to see if I was getting leakage past the juice holes in the deck base.The wicks are contacting the base nicely and I didn't see any evidence of flooding.
I had trimmed my wicks as even with the tops of the posts as I could, but noticed that they were fanned out at the top, just slightly higher than the top of the posts. "Could they be contacting the sides of the chimney and wicking juice off to the walls?" I wondered. Pulled out the digital calipers and started checking dimensions. The posts on my deck are 1.5mm narrower than the coil chamber ID. The height from the deck base flange to the top of the posts is 1mm shorter than from the coil chamber base flange to the chamfer point at the top of the chamber. Essentially, the clearances are very tight in there.
I didn't want to try re-trimming saturated wicks so I used a small pick to comb and compress the wick from each side into the center between the posts. I'll keep and eye on it in the coming days at post back if I have some conclusive evidence that it was indeed the wick heads contacting the coil chamber walls that was causing the leakage.

If they were kitchen tools, Alton would proudly call them "multi-taskers" with approval.
Both are in our First Aid kits we take when traveling/camping.My son would get nasty nose bleeds when he was growing. Mom and I were out on Date Night one time and we got a frantic call from one of the daughters that he had a nasty one and they couldn't get it to stop. We finished up dessert and got home in just a few minutes. He was in the bathroom, still trying to get it to stop by packing tissue/TP in his nose. The bathroom looked like a crime scene on CSI.
Blood on the counter, in the sinks, in the toilet, on the floor and even in the bathtub. Even we couldn't get it to stop and had to take him to the ER to have it cauterized. The other time he had one, and where we learned the tampon trick, was when he was in the hospital for a very, very nasty groin abcess. He got a nosebleed and was packing tissue in it when the nurse came in, saw what was happening and said "Hang on, I've got a fix for that." and left the room. She came back with the tampon, pinched down the end and shoved it up his nose to pack it. Worked a charm. I have a picture of him, in hospital gown with a tampon shoved up his nose. I'm showing it at his wedding.

I had sinus surgery and that's what they packed mine with. I didn't even know they were in there until the nurse grabbed the strings and pulled them out.
