Protank hybrid coil building and not what you expected

[Nightshard]

When I say hybrid, I'm not referring to the mesh silica build you all expected.
Tried mesh and mesh silica hybrid, but didn't get the results I was aiming for, as i guess Protank is just too cramped for mesh.

What I'm doing is using both silica and bamboo.
I use top and bottom wicks like the original comes with, i use silica for the bottom one since it withstands heat better and bamboo for the top as it conducts liquid better.

The result is a wick that doesn't burn as fast as bamboo and produces better vapor then silica.

I tried this once with cotton instead of bamboo and it flooded continuously, not sure why. It seems like it would be pretty convenient since you can pull off the top wick, dry burn, then put on a new top wick when necessary. Now I just use cotton for both and replace them after 3 or 4 tanks (EVODs). I think I get about 10-14 tanks before they need a new coil.

I have no flooding and no specific problems.
When you pull apart an original head after being used, you can notice that the bottom wick is burned while the top one is almost new.
With my hybrid they burn more evenly.
