Less, or more, depending on how much you're using now. You'll find there's a "sweet spot" between "too little" and "too much." You'll want enough that the cotton contacts the coil all around and doesn't leave any dry pockets to create "hot spots" on the coil, but at the same time you don't want to use so much that it chokes itself off and can't deliver enough juice, fast enough, and you end up charring a too-dry wick. Cotton expands when wet so err a little on the side of looseness, lest you might find out that what was once a perfect wick when it was first placed, is now too tight once it's been juiced up for a little bit.

I am new to rda's i am running a sigelli 200w with a airek rda. I am using dual quad twisted coils which put me at about .15 ohms. My question is less cotton or more cotton better? I have been told both ways?

I think a .25 ohm coils would work a little better .....................
This is how I have wicked it in the past

thanks for the info. I have only used pre made coils from traditional vape. they have some that are higher ohms. i think I might pick up a couple of those and try them out. I like the cloud chasing but if i can get large clouds with lowers watts I am down with that. I have been messing around with building coils but have not actually used one yet
