Cotton wick, very dry mouth?

[shabutii]

Hello folks.
I really like the old dripping atomizers from back in the day but because of inconsistent performance I decided to try a hand at rebuilding. I played around with many single and double coil builds using cotton and sometimes silica. I finally settled on organic cotton triple boiled in sterile water. Taste is good, clouds are nice but one problem: it leaves my mouth really dry. Here's what I'm currently using: Igo L atty with 32guage kanthal and cotton on a zmax at 8.5 watts. Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? The only thing I can think is that I'm using a cheap atty, but I doubt that would affect the mouth dryness.
ps. I do NOT get this dry mouth with the old school drippers
Thanks

my guess is you boiled the cotton so much you changed the fibers and the make up with in the structures. I would try it un boiled. I have only used cvs sterile cotton, never boiled and its very juicy. you have to be careful when boiling because it is easy to trap moisture which can cause bad things

What's the PG percentage(s) in the liquid(s) you're using?

I also use cvs rolled cotton..

PG is a desiccant. We must all be diligent and keep or mouths properly lubed. Dry mouth is a gateway to various pathogenic nastiness -- as well as social exile, which in turn hurts us all.

I'd posit that your getting more vapor from this setup then you did from the "old school" drippers.
More vapor - more desiccant effect - more cotton mouth.

Then again I could be completely off here......
