Keep experimenting with cotton amounts. Use more. Use less. Longer tails, shorter tails, etc.. You'll find the sweet spot. Your coil sounds fine. Also fiddle with the juice control. Try it at one turn, two turns, and three turns and see what happens. The higher the VG content the more turns you will likely need. Don't see any reason to go past three turns, however.
Is this your first rebuildable rta? If so it does take time to dial it in, but once you do, I promise the flavor will be better then the nautilus. How is your coil height? Besides that it seems you now have some good cotton and a good coil and from there it's all in the wicking. It may seem an easy thing to do, but if it's just a bit to thick or thin, or to long or short, it makes a world of difference. With cotton, it may sound as if you may have put a bit to much in the coil. You should be able to thread a wick in without to much coil movement, yes it's better to put a bit more in then less, but just a slight fingernail hold of the coil is just about right, and if the coil is hardened already (let's say a week old) you probably don't need to hold the coil at all, but it should move Slightly without holding it. One thing that's important is the lenght and width of the tails. If the tails are to long, they can impede juice flow and if they are to bushy, likewise. I would say with a 2.5 coil and the correct amount of cotton thru coil, you probably don't need to trim that much off the width of tails, maybe if anything 5 percent, but the lenght need to just touch the ledge. So let us know what percentage of vg? Coil height? And how open your JFC is? Also what gauge wire and what brand of wire? Kanthal or SS?
Err on the side of more cotton, not less (thickness-wise).Thanks guys
Will keep experimenting, it IS my first rebuildable however I am a fast learner
Cool advice, I really didn't think about it. I may overstuffed the coil on the re-wicks because of the solidity of it when inserting new cotton...
As I said will keep experimenting, thank you again
Coil height can change flavor and if it's set to high can mute the taste. I personally feel 1.3 mm to 1.5 is perfect. I also feel if JFC is open to much can do the same. I wick the prime So that 1 turn of juice flow sees bubbles and from there I just give it one more half turn for 70 vg juice. I find if I wick it with to much wick and tails, it takes more turns to see those bubbles when opening jc. So for my vape style 1.5 turns is perfect and if I go more, it starts to mute slightlyThanks guys

Awesome! ! Glad your dialing it in...rta's are a bit touchy and take time, but after a while they are very repeatable and consistent . Just always keep a mental note, especially pulling the old wick. If you feel a certain build was just right, pulling that old wick gives feed back, like how easy or how hard it pulls from coil. Also a good repeatable way is to always measure coil height, like with a blunt tip needle or a small drill bit. If you can always keep that coil height the same, then you can always get the tails at the correct depth on the ledge. I keep coil at 1.3mm and when I'm trimming my tails, I measure their lenght right at the small oring and cut. These are just little things that can help for consistency
Can't say that I do but I don't knock over my mod often. Same setup as yours. But I can see how knocking it over could rattle the coil/resistance.
My neighbor's cat comes over a lot and all he does is knock stuff over. I send him back out the door. Don't know why they feel compelled to knock over everything they cross.
Agree! It's the only tank I have used since it came out.I finally have a 2nd one of these on it's way, also with the extension kit, spare glass, spares kits etc. I am looking forward to having another one. It is the best tank I have bought in years.
