What is best let the cotton tails go all the way to the bottom or clip them underneath the deck or half way through I'm on my first rdta and I wicked with the tails all the way to the bottom and its vaping nicely but when I go to refill the tank I've got to watch how much juice I put in because the liquid that ils already absorbed in the cotton overflows the tank when I screw the deck back in?

I have good luck with the middle road. I always comb out tails & cut to middle of tank if 5ml & up. Thin & cut to just below deck for 2/3ml tank.
Funny its exactly what I tried after I posted just removed the tank and clipped the long tale to about halfway since it is a 3.5 ml tank. I guess on the long just like everything else in vapingnits what you like best just use a little common since and experiment thanks for your input have a good one
I like to clip them so,dry, they reach about half way down the tank... and when juiced they just touch the deck.....

It's a balancing act and is usually specific to the minutiae of each RTA. Generally you want the tails as short as possible, but not so short that it leaks.
Just below the deck for me. The motion of bringing the vape gear to my mouth sloshes the juice around, so that the wick gets juice.
Funny how a couple of years ago.... that was the biggest complaint re Geni tanks... having to tip to feed the wicks.
I like a longer tail so I don't have to remember to wet the wick.

I clip my wicks just below the deck. Why are you taking the deck out to fill the tank?
i saw another comment on here that i think is truly your best piece of advice, every tank is going to be a little bit different and even the way you enjoy your vape my impact the way you choose to wick it, some prefer a more wet vaping experience and will make their wicks extra thin, where as other will make sure the holes there cotton wells are packed more tightly for a tighter draw and slightly tighter airflow, but as long as it goes below the build deck about 1-2 mm, with the way most people hold the vape while the hit it, the juice moves around enough to keep it very well wicked. Ive been using an ijoy rdta box for a few weeks now and dry hits are absolutely not a problem!
For me, it depends on the tank I'm using. I look up or ask what others are doing and use that as a starting point . Good luck![emoji4]
