Does the cotton in coils need to be prepped with juice directly or.....

Are you talking about an RTA?
For an RTA, your wick doesn't get "submerged" in liquid, it wicks the liquid. Big difference. If it was submerged in liquid, you would have a big flooded mess. juice 'er up, start that process. And like I already stated, it helps in final positioning of your wick tails.
RTAs (and rebuildables in general) have a learning curve and nothing teaches better than hand-on experience. Youtube videos are a great resource, too. Videos and hands-on are far better than text help, like a forum.
I will refrain from posting this 6 times.
Will it take six reposts of "No" to answer the question? You do not have to wet the wick before using it.
Sometimes direct experience is worth more than any answer given, kind of like putting your hand on a hot stove. You will learn quickly. I say go for it.

You could bypass the drops.. if you want to wait for who knows how long for your eliquid to slowly saturate your cotton.
Why wait?
Why wait?
During the wait, you can't fire the mod at all until the cotton is fully saturated or you'll burn the cotton. Again, why wait?
Even those coils that are submerged do not saturate all of the wicking immediately.
If you pop a new coil in, fill the tank and immedialty fire your vape without having prepped the coil (putting a few drops down the center of the coil), you are going to burn your cotton.
I put several drops down the center of my drop in coils, while also saturating the visable cotton on the outside of the coil. Once I put the coil in, fill the tank and mount it on whichever device I'm using it on, it's ready go.
For my RTA's and RBA's, I soak the wicking under the coils and give it a quick hit of the power to start heating the coils, then soak the coil down again and hit the power again, while blowing on the coil to cool it. Then start saturating the wicking (rayon) and coil before puting everything back together and giving it a proper hit.

Definitely agree with this. I always wet the wick before I assemble the tank, except once in a while I forget. Don't like disassembling the tank because that moves the wick around and it can be hard to get it positioned again, bits of fiber get pulled through the coil and so forth. I've filled a tank up with a dry wick and left it overnight, but still got a slightly burnt taste. That doesn't happen when you soak the wick.
"...still flat"? Who went and messed stuff up? I just looked out my window and, but for a few hills, it's still flat.
IMHO, yes. Others might say no. But ask yourself this..."why not?". I mean, that juice doesn't go to waste. You eventually vape it. Juicing the cotton allows you to better position the tails, if nothing else. I juice 'er up good.
Depending on if you want a terrible flavor.. lol. Checkout skwezed for delicious banana ice vape products.
Just Couldn't Resist.
LOL
Once I put in the work of rewicking, I don't want to let it sit, I want to try it out. Priming speeds up the process.
Also, after I prime it and everything is soaked, I'll fire it before putting it back together. If it crackles and pops I can try to adjust the cotton to make it stop.

Why would you need to put drops in the cotton if the cotton is about to be submerged in liquid?
