I was Soo crazy with the cotton also and I was always looking inside from the driptip to see how the cotton and coil looks....
I sit one day and talk to myself and told me I can't continue like this....I will stop checking it...
I once let my wick for like one week until it was Gunky...
Then I slowly start to fall back to old times and now I rewick faster again...
Last days I rewick every day and sometimes twice a day...but I will stop that...I mean if there is not problem with the wick why change it sooooo fast...
Ugh....and I will never look at it again from the driptip with a flashlight from phone...
I am George and I am addicted to fresh wet cotton...
There is also little things like when u pull the cotton through the coil and it gets compressed on one side but the other side of the tail if fluffier than the other soooo u pull it all the way and then pull it back again Soo both sides are compressed even if it doesn't make sense cause anyway u gonna fluff both ends and anyways many things like that pfffff
