Purchased a whole ball of Cotton Wick from Michael's about a week ago and have made roughly 5-6 dual coil builds with said wick. Ive tried coiling it similar to Silica wick by wrapping the wick with the Kanthal on about 4 of the builds I have done. All 4 in which resulted in burnt cotton. I did not dry burn it, but I seemed to have coiled the wick way too tight. The other 2 builds I did, I mounted the kanthal first then proceeded to shoot the cotton through the mounted wire. But unfortunately, on both builds, I received numerous hot spots which would not go away even though I tried to fiddle with these hot spots. How exactly do I wrap this cotton wick loose enough to where it does not choke the cotton wick? It seems really hard to do, because if I do loosley wrap it, it seems that I will get hotspots all over when I fire it. Also, like I stated, its hard to mount the wire first because it also results in numerous hot spots. Please anyone help, with the easiest most effective way to wrap and build using cotton wick.
Thanks
