All in the name of Science!
I've stuck with 2.5, vertically centered between the two post holes.

I've stuck with 2.5, vertically centered between the two post holes.
I've been keeping my coil centered also but I have the need to try other ways for the fun of it(or Science)... It's just very easy to build on these.
hello ive just joined ive been reading the posts for few days trying to get a insight how best i can get my obs nano to work. would anyone be able to help? i use 80vg/20pg liquid and this is my first rba and have read and seen alot of different methods to which build is best and how to wick , does anyone else use high vg could you tell me how you wick and what coil works best please. im currently using a 5 wrap 24g kanthol spaced with muji cotton which is ok but i know i can get it better. any build ideas ? i have 24g kanthol 24g SS 30/32g kanthol is there any coils i can make with them to get a better experience?
How big is your coil? Some find that a smaller diameter coil works better, some larger... You should try both and see what works.
I've begun wicking like ricks(OP) with tails to the bottom, as I can vape the tank pretty much dry before getting control-messages in TC. Without, I notice the wattage drops before it's completely dry. Not that much of a difference, but i'm lazy and like the extra vaping I can do before needing a refill. I use the dual-coil version more though, which has better flavor to me and more dense. In both, the coil needs to be high to maximize airflow-coverage... It's an art to find out though, how much or little cotton/rayon, to not choke the flow, or flood...
Using TC is a great tool to learn how to wick propperly as you'll not have a stable vape without perfect wicking(if liking hot vapes at least), which otherwise would properly still work in wattage mode...

Yes, atleast for me with my DIY 95% VG and 5% distilled water, which is comparabel to roughly 80/20 VG/PG in viscosity. If you have issues, then just don't do that and either lay on top of wick-holes or only put in the top of them
This is very interesting information and explains why I was having so many problems before. I was using a 2.5mm coil when I first got the tank. I put the cotton tails all the way through the holes and didn't have any problems. I don't remember but I think I switched to a wider coil because I found it easier to work with rayon. That's when I was getting all the flooding with the tails all the way through the holes. The tank stopped flooding when I started laying the tails (rayon or cotton) over the holes.

Any recommended builds to reduce juice consumption? I feel like this thing goes through e-liquid very quickly.
Right now, I have a 24 gauge SS316 coil with an ID of 3.5mm that came out at .45 ohms or thereabouts. The airflow is barely open.

I vaped it during my 15-minute ride to work and took two sub-10-minute vape breaks and it's almost half-way empty 
Amen, preach it brother! The wicking makes a huge difference in TC, I've had Ohms Too High just because the wick was too loose.
It all seemed so simple when I first decided to leave factory coils behind.
That's weird, my one tank last for quite a while & I chain vape it.I vaped it during my 15-minute ride to work and took two sub-10-minute vape breaks and it's almost half-way empty

DIY juice.
Doesn't bother me at all how much my tanks drink after that change. My Aromamizer Plus drinks like a sailor on shore leave.
Maybe your tank wasn't totally full??? That is fast...I vaped it during my 15-minute ride to work and took two sub-10-minute vape breaks and it's almost half-way empty
Ah but most short vape breaks result in about 10 minutes of constant chain vaping, at least for me. If you want to see how much juice a single coil tank can really blow through, try the Pharaoh RTA. Fully topped of it holds a little under 5 ml, and I can knock that down in an hour or two, and I'm normally a 7 ml a day total vaper.
im using a 3mm spaced single 24g kanthol 5 wrap and i can go throguh 15ml easy a day which i think is alot
