If you are getting more vapor then yeah you are probably getting more nic too. Also did you boil the yarn before use? I don't always boil mine but I have heard that you should. It could be there is something in there that needs to boil out that is causing you a problem.
It's a common side effect of switching to cotton. You vape more because its so good. 
Seriously though, like ScottP said if you hadn't boiled it first that may be a cause, usually people have a taste preference over cotton/silica/mesh and not so much a problem with them. I would at least rule out that being a cause and go from there.

Flavor or Vapor? More Vapor may mean more nic. While Flavor and nic are not necessarily a direct correlation.
Then that leans more toward not boiling it for the cause of the headaches. Although I am not sure why you are getting less flavor.
Stupid question. Are you sure it's cotton? The reason I ask is I was looking at all kinds of yarn at Walmart and the vast minority was just cotton. If it was cotton I would say boil and rinse several times first.

Be sure and experiment with your coil diameter and size of your wick. Keep the wick size through the coil just barely snug, not tight at all, because the cotton swells some. If you need more through the channels to prevent flooding, use a helper wick for that.
Also, I think you'd get better results with something like the cvs cotton balls. Since the wicks are small, it's easy to work with. Poke around in the 'micro coils' thread a little for coil and wicking ideas.
I think the bleached cotton wicks the best and loses the fresh cotton taste the quickest.
I use the loose weave cheese cloth from wally world with great results, but I'm making slightly longer wicks. In order of wicking abilities, I'd put it cotton balls, cheese cloth, thread (like the peaches and cream).
yes wick are just snug/loose enough, tried a little while back with cheese cloth. had tough time counting out the threads even with bifocals LOL. and they always seemed to come out when removing the base
I got tired of trying to make a decent coil on the wick - now I make the coil on a 1/16 drill bit first - set it in place and then slide the wick though.........this seems to work better for me........
I use two pair of glasses, so I know the feeling lol. I just eyeball measure and cut strips a little about half an inch wide and use more than one.
