Lately I've been really loving my igo 5 with the crest cap, rocking it with a .6 ohm dual coil build and it's been serving me very well. However whenever I drip nana's cream on it I never fail to burn my wick after just 2 or 3 hits while the wick is still plenty wet. I've tried every different thickness of cotton wick I possibly could but it doesn't change the process at all and I only have this issue with this liquid and a couple of alcohol based liquids. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe nana's cream is alcohol based so I don't think that's the issue. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong I just can't figure out what it is. Does anyone have any advice?

It could be a couple of things. What's probably happening is your coils are vaporizing the juice faster than the wicks can supply it. Capillary action, juice viscosity, etc are all factors... First thing I would try is wicking looser. I had the same kind of problem about a month ago and all it took was rewicking a lot looser.
Remember, all more cotton does is hold more juice and wastes more when you rip it off your build to rewick.
What's your setup?

I haven't tied Nana's cream so I don't know about it specifically. However I've found with most of my juices (the thicker ones anyway), which some are Vapetrik line, that I had to make my coils bigger and less wraps. Normally I go for a 3/32 bit with no more than 7-8 wraps normally I do about 5-6 wraps. This allows more juice to get to the cotton inside the coil quicker.
If the juice is even thicker say like Bobas I wrap on 1/8 bits still 5-6 wraps.
Let the cotton sit loose, but still contacting coil, and with fiber/ strands all the same way. This is what works for me.
Like cullin kin said, your set up would be more helpful in helping you.

This is likely due to either too little cotton or too much - too little will vaporize instantly @ .6 ohms where too much will clog up and not provide wicking.
I normally will lightly roll the cotton and thread it though with just a touch of tightness. If you have to pull hard enough to start to pull the coils you have too much cotton.
Also remove the cotton and see if it is burnt under the coil - if so you have a wicking problem. It's all about finding the right configuration for the ejuice.
