That's the Exocet method. It is the reason you are experiencing burnt hits after only a few hits. Or muted flavor.
Your wick is not keeping up in order to maintain sufficient
juice flow to your coil. Exocet wicking is very finicky if it isn't 'just right'.
I stopped using Exocet wicking. It doesn't deliver any better flavor versus bunny ear. Rob Fisher came up with the Exocet method and that works well for him.
If you think about the Exocet method, specifically with the tails being installed through the
juice channels, the channels become the choke-off point for proper
juice flow to the coil.
Switch to Bunny Ear wicking. You will notice an immediate improvement and zero burnt hits. Juice flow is then as it was 'designed' to be by the maker of the Dvarw.
The maker of the Dvarw recommends and uses bunny ear. Nearly every user in the Dvarw Facebook group uses the bunny ear method.
Mark Todd
shows how to do it in his video. I have the video cued up to play where he shows how to wick a Dvarw. It is, by far, the easiest and much quicker.
I'll betcha dinner that solves your problem!
