Here's how I wick.
3mmID 26g ss316l, 9/8wrap.
Cut cotton a little wider than the base.
Fluff the cotton so it's nice and airy.
Then fold(don't pack) the bottom 1/4 into the cup.
While remaining fluffed, cover the rest of the top of the cup and a little on the deck.
I have found that not much below the juice holes works the best. Cover the top and jeep it fluffy. I use anywhere from 50/50-30pg/70vg.
I usually go from 25w-40w, which is how I like to vape. Not high power or low power. The flavor on this tank is great and the above wicking keeps up with no issues.
Sorry for the long post folks.
