Yankee ~ Are you using this setup with the cotton yarn ~ cotton balls ~ both?
Ahh, the tinkering I love.
Couple of bent nails to stabilize the coils. Dual setup for cotton. Sit back with a coffee and enjoy.
Just read your post again and see that you are using this setup with cotton balls.

Just out of curiosity are you basically leaving the negative channel open?
D - I wish, but have no clue. I can assume, but I think I've done enough assuming for a while. 
X - Cotton balls. I only use cotton yarn in spots I can't use the cotton. Less boiling and prep.
Fright - In this setup, the cotton is at the coil. I've left little "whisps" of cotton in the negative, a little more in the positive channel. But I only cut them a little longer than the BF and tucked them in. But in the end, you really don't need much. I've done this setup in the Penelope with nothing in the channels - MrK method.
BF is closed

Thanks. I've been running a single in Ody for about a week now and the cotton was finally ready to be replaced. However because of the channel cotton I messed up the coil trying to clean it out. So I was wondering it cotton would have over wicking issues with Mr K method or a setup like yours. It is nice to know it will work the way you have it setup and will likely copy once I tear my Ody down again. And try my Ithaka when I get home next week.
If you do drop cotton in the channels, just drop it long enough to tuck into the lock ring. Biggest thing is not to treat it as a long wick and cut it at orings. If you tuck it, you can untuck.
Also, it's its long, cut one end with small scissors just before the coil. Then remove from the other end. Less material to pull back through and damage to coil.

I can't get my twisted micro coils to keep a steady resistance. Someday I willl stop spending my vape budget on mods and buy a wire joiner.
Strange, because I trim the cotton wicks where I trimmed the Ekowool, at the bottom o-ring, and with BF open, and JC closed, I can vape through the whole tank with perfect wicking, no gurgling or flooding.
But I like to do a complete rebuild, and don't replace cotton, so there's that.

Exactly. If you're going to tear it down each time, then the length is moot. You can build it long. If you're going to want to replace, then don't leave them down.
I think you can leave the BF open with the cotton tucked in the channels all the way down to the BF so juice at the bottom gets to the wick. Yankee ~ What you say?
Sure you can. I opt not to since I can control the juice flow with the mp. With cotton, the mp is barely open where with yarn or silica it was open much more. I left bf open with the latter two. So if it requires less feeding with cotton, I'd just assume leave the bf closed and control the juice flow.
Hey yankeebobo!! Was wondering what's ur favorite micro coil size diameter using cotton on the ithaka. This is if you do use micro coils. I use a 1/16th & 29 Awg kanthal in the kayfun lite. Am wondering what would u recommend using to get the most flavor & throat hit out of the ithaka? Thanks bud!

28 or 30 is the wire I use with true micros. But I don't use the true micro coils on ithaka only because I haven't managed to get the joints to stay stable the way I like to vape. I have to setup the X formation. And my welder is acting up. Running in parallel, I get a harsher vape than I care for.
What I pictured is not a micro by definition. It's a straight dual with premade wires that I can rethread the cotton into easily.

Yankeebobo great build, I set this up last night 2 vasillis 1.5 ready wires
Wrapped on 2.10 mm nail, installed coils straight acrossed for easier cotton rethread,
Unrolled cotton ball flat cutting a quarter inch strip off and then rolled it into a Wick threading
through the coils and down channels. Will post pics later in the week when I reload Cotton,
Definite flavor improvement, thanks Yankee for this build.

Anytime. Straight across is much easier. I just don't care for the vape in parallel. I vape dual on X. So that's why mine crossed.
Can't wait to see pics
