Wow that's high for you, you usually like 40 watts :D
Nice pics!:thumbs:

Yeah, with quad twisted 28 dual coils it needs it, really have no choice.. At 70w its vaping pretty much how i like, but a little warm. 2-3 second pulls, good vapor.. (after that first warm up hit which isnt too bad)

Well, with the squape x dream just start with trimming first at about the width of the base, take the bottom 10-25% of wick, depending on juice and vaping style, and curl it down under the coil. Cut the rest off even with the chamber walls, enough so the chamber fits on without jamming the rayon, ideally the rayon is just barely off touching the sides.

If your running vg you may be able to cut straight off to the width of deck space and just use the thickness of bowtie to touch down in the deck; similar to how i did the last smok tf build..?

Btw what would happen if my wicking tails is too thick?
Some of the things I've noticed when not thinning the tails enough.

Reduced power handling capability due to poor juice transport to the coil.

Dry hits due to poor juice transport to the coil.

Reverse juice flow. Partially cooked juice is actually pulled back out of the coil by the wicktails after each vape causing browning of the wicks just outside of the coil. On some bc atties this brown colored yucky stuff can migrate all the way back into the tank.

Decreased wick life.

My first attempt on Rayon wicking months back is causing the yucky brown stuff to my wick and that freaks me out. Then this forum changes everything.

This is my 3rd wicking, in fact my 2nd wicking is still good, I just remove it because of the after taste from my last juice. And it's a good practice pub rayon wicking too. I'm currently using rayon on my KF5 clone.

I'll revisit the KF Mini V3 and face my fear of my first reason wicking disaster.

My rayon wicks last me 100 - 200 ml if wicked right. I have 5 mods in daily rotation (2 x rta, 1 x rdta, 2 x rda) and plan to rewick them once a month whether they need it or not.

The great thing about rayon is my wicks last a looong time, the bad thing is by the time I have to rewick different RTA's I've almost forgotten the technique used in each different RTA lol! :lol: Anyone else have this problem?
ditto, that's why I bookmark and download yt videos for each of the tanks I wick (even if they wick them with cotton)
