Good cotton setup for a magma?

[Caskark]

Just ordered a magma and was wondering if anyone had any advice on getting the most out of the deep juice well. I was thinking about stuffing it with cotton and soaking it with juice, but would it wick up to the coils well?

Twist end of cotton, thread it through leaving it fluffy and slightly snug in the coil, trim cotton leaving enough length on either side to just reach the bottom of the drip well, tuck cotton into drip well, job done.

This is the ticket.
Putting extra cotton in just diminishes capacity and may actually lead to wicking problems.

Another nuance to keep in mind is you want the coil very close to the air hole.

Over all the magma is a very simple Atty to master and get optimal performance from. You're gonna love it.

Thirding this. The only real "trick" to the magma is getting the coil as close to the air hole(s) as possible without actually touching the deck. I actually build mine so that the coil *is* touching the deck, then once all is tightened down, slide a straight pin underneath to lift it evenly without pulling it up too far. YMMV on that technique - the usual caveats apply, i.e. be very mindful of shorts, don't fire the mod with a pin (or any other metal implement) touching the coil or if you're not sure if the coil has enough clearance from the deck, etc. It's just what works for me in terms of making sure that sucker is as close as it can safely be; but I always check for shorts with an ohm meter and usually a DMM first before I apply any power.

Incredibly easy build though, and don't over-think the wicking - it's a wick-and-go atty for sure.

cellucotton wicks much better

I still enjoy cotton on my builds but my magma loves cellucotton. It drinks it up!!

Thanks for the advice. Has anyone topped of the juice well? Does it leak if you do? I have to be somewhat stealthy with my vaping at times and cutting down on dripping would certainly help.
