By changing the size and length of the channels.
I Dremeled out the channels on my Tobeco Kafun mini this morning and it solved my slow wicking problem.
The wicks have to be "tucked in" to some degree to clear the chimney threads otherwise, of course, the wicks will twist with the chimney screw down. I tuck them ever so gently, plumply, and try not to distort them in any way. I tuck them far enough to clear the threads for the chimney to come down as perfectly as possible. I do everything under magnification, so I can see what I am doing. My wicking became 100% better using magnification. Just a suggestion.I also started putting my cotton 'ends' right on the channels w/o actually pushing them it. Just sit them on top loosely. I'm trying everything to get these things to wick correctly

I read a lot about not obstructing the juice channels or it will block the juice from entering but I think it's more about the air bubble escaping.... which in the end amounts to the same thing more or less.
This "Big Fun" is what ToBeCo calls this 28.5mm Kayfun Lite is turning into a big pain...
I had to increase those Juice Channels even more, about 0.3mm each side. I also increased my coil resistance to 0.87 Ohms lowering the power down to 20 Watts. Still trying hard to use the Rayon. Will see... Keeping my fingers crossed.
Edit: 20 minutes after filling it started burning rayon again.
Rayon is out, Cotton is in for now.

If one works so should the other, not like a night and day difference.
Wasn't really talking about sx drifters video but just some of the jests of what mtv talks about. Thb, I never would of thought about coil characteristics such as adhesion, tension, and lateral scews before reading some of his info. Tbh, like I mentioned in my op, this stuff could be way over the top and quite honestly over my head but it is interesting non the less. I'm not an engineer so I cannot really say if it's all a bunch of b/s or there is some merit that a properly done micro coil is more efficient, as in vaporizing, wicking, and energy usage to a poorly done micro coil. Btw, that video may have mentioned about MacTechVpr, but that's not him. That is superxdrifter, more or less the guy who brought micro coils to rebuildables.Here is Mactechcpr's link to wrapping a tight coil: outdated - Micro Coils 101 - Part One - Making The Tightest Coil You've Ever Made - YouTube
It's a mess, quite frankly. You and I wrap just as tight a coil by hand and are not taping leads to mini screwdrivers
You said "I really do believe there is more to it then just heat." Well, the perfect coil will simply create more heat. What else do you think it will do? What "more to it" is there? Of course, how tight and perfected the coil is has everything to do with shorting, hot spots and "uneven glows." When these take place you are simply getting LESS HEAT or NO HEAT in the event of a short. My point was, in the end, it takes little heat to atomize the liquid so the perfection of your coil, in the end, really doesn't matter. All coils are imperfect. There is no such thing as a perfect coil. They are like snowflakes. I think wicking and wick placement has everything thing to do with flavor and absorption as well as seals and re-assembly in totality.
