Look behind you.
I always end up with the cotton in 2 pieces after 1 day of use....it's just frustrating...tried vertical coil build, failed, try pancaking now...seems a bit better...but I;m not sure how it's going to hold up...each time I have to go through 3 to 5 coils to get it just ok..before it break the next day

Eh like serious onli brudder. What tank you use? Your coil? Resistance?

I used to have these issues when i started out. It all boils down to your wicking technique. Not say that we are all damn good, but it takes some effort to at least learn and be proficient with the wicking. Some pointers are:
1. Remove the top and bottom layer of the cotton pad (these are the stiff ones)
2. Ensure that the wicking roll is not too tight between the coils (they need space to absorb). Too tight will end up just the coil burning through the packed cotton within the coil.
3. Feel free to loosen the cotton by stretching them slightly

Youtube has 1001 ways on how to wick.
@Pouf once mentioned before (and I have to say ... AGAIN for the nth time).. you may refer to the tutorial below:

I kinda use the Scottish method if I'm using kendo, only thing is that I'll roll it tighter, then after setting it up, I sort of pancake it out at the ends... I guess it should be called a Scottish pancake then haha

For stm, if I'm doing a horizontal, I'll just peel one layer off and the other stiffer side I'll use it as a barrier against the wicking hole, yes it's ever so slightly stiffer and cos of that I think it kinda helps to stop the flooding that may occur..
