That updated method is pretty awesome super x, watched that yesterday and put it into practice today, works pretty well but with a coil setup a 1mm in diameter, it does go dry much quicker than with fluffier 2mm builds.
Quick question though, super x, using your uodated method, some of my cotton seems to be staying wet, while the cotton going through the coil goes dry. The wet cotton isn't funneling the liquid to the coils.
I do have a deep rda, and long tails on the positive side of the coils going down into the rda, should I just trim the long tails and just use the cotton closest to the coils for wicking purposes?

Thank you :) Short tails seem to work best. Now I don't drip in a traditional sense, my dripping is from the bottom making it much more convenient to reload, but I'd still recommend short tails because long ones just hold juice, they really don't transport it efficiently enough to the coil to keep up with lower resistance builds.

1mm is on the small side - perhaps a 1.5 - 1.6 mm coil will kick it up a couple of notches too :)
