For smaller coils like back in the day with 30ga ni200, we used to use the double insertion method for wicking those fragile coils. Split the strand of Rayon in half, twist up the ends, and then thread each end into opposite sides of the mounted coil. Pull both ends through at the same until the coil starts to deform then take a small screwdriver or pick and fix up the spacing on the loops.
I'm going to try it. It'll be a bit messy, but if it can help me achieve the correct density, it'll be worth it.
I've been making my wicks a little long, and only wet the center where I don't touch. Think dip rather than pour. Then cut the dry sections to length after pre-wrapping with wire.
I really like the @TrollDragon's two sided approach for wire less than 28G... Will try that in the morning! Thanks!

I now have 4000 large Tidi rayon balls. $53.17 (including tax) on Amazon.
Approximately how many wicks will I get per ball? My coils are virtually always 2.5mm ID. I want a rough idea of how many centuries' worth I bought.

Haven't every touched those balls 
but I'd guess you'd get at least 8000 wicks, so... 2 centuries?

I haven't ever really paid attention, but I think I generally get 4-5 per ball. The inner end of the ball is sometimes too scrunched up to use.
FWIW, I bought 1000 large Tidi balls back in almost seven years ago. I gave quite a few samples away, and I'm still not worried about running out in this lifetime. The again, wicks last me a really long time due to my very sparing use of flavorings.
I've been using Rayon (Graham) for a few months now. Will hardly buy anything else in the future.
I have some boxes with iClouds from Australia, thought to go back to normal cotton and see, but, I doubt it will be better than Rayon.
As much cotton as possible through the coil, I usually have to hold the coil so that it does not deform.
Trim the tails, trying to get a shoulder.
Can maybe try to get a little more cotton down in the juice channel, but am not sure if it will be a good solution.
Attys is the Kayfun Lite's.
All in all I'm very happy with Rayons, wicks like a champ.

Due to my favorite cotton having "vape & wick" all over the packaging I need to find an alternative. I know worse case scenario I can always buy some cotton balls. I am curious about rayon though.
Dumb question, does rayon work well for sub ohm vaping?

I' vaping a six wrap, 24 gauge, Ti, .23 ohm coil right now wicked with rayon and it works very well with sub ohm coils.
If you decide to give it a try, PM me.
