Here is a video @ my crude quickly put together cotton variation test.
best seen full screen HD
It was a cold test on raw cotton & barely oxidized wire. I mostly just wanted to see a close up of what would happen in the tube. It seems a pop creates a channel & that channel is likely the keyhole to vapor production in such a sideways cotton version. Gdeal has a hypo needle tube air mod, that would be worthy of further investigation here, if the air was directed to blow softly(big gauge needle) through the channel. It was taking way too long to heat up with my kicked mec mod unit set @ 5 watts, so I used a super ego vv so I could quickly dial the power up. Lots of flavor & throat hit, but the airflow...you'll see my summation @ the end of the vid
My "Spin E" coil often does the pop thing when the cotton is fresh, so I sort of expected it. Fresh cotton seems to have a heat conditioning period. The fibers once heated enough settle. I would imagine the sideways glass channel would grow to take up more of the inside of the tube area, if vaped to a settled down cotton stage. Thus I suggest a tighter packed bigger wad of cotton, to lessen shrinkage may be in order. My crude test used lightly packed cotton & with cotton "less is often more" "the less the better", but likely not in this case.
