New build seems to be wicking from one side

[smokin95]

I recently built a 2.4 ohm coil, 5 wraps of 32 gauge kanthal and wicked with cotton in my kayfun mini v3. Though it was a good build, good vapor and taste. Absolutely no dry taste. But when I pulled out the deck to check on it, this is what it looked like

Couldn't get my camera to focus right but the left side is amber color and the right is white like I just wicked it. Not really sure how but the flavor is almost perfect.

My cotton was fairly loose and even, I don't think it's choked on one side. Any ideas why it's so much darker on that one side?

My guess would be uneven heating. That leg\side has a hotspot.

Yeaap, some wick to the left and some wick to the right....

One thing that's always confused me, should the wick touch the legs?

I try not to, but ultimately it is always touching the outer coil. Usually, at least for me, if the wick is touching the leg my coil is pretty ugly and will be swapped in a day or two.

To me that appears to be either hotter on the left or not wicking as good. But it it is tasting great who cares?
