Morton, I watched your second video and I like the results, but not to suprised. For one, when you stated as much as possible, I imagined you twisting the cotton completely into a twisted thin rod, then untwisting once in coil...we use to do this year's ago, but now, people just twist the very tip and thread thru. If one doesn't completely twist the cotton, and just thread it through with maybe just holding the coil, I agree, you probably cannot overstuff coil....except for the last 2 test strips you had, I would of never thought people would use such tiny amounts of cotton thru a 3.5mm coil, especially at those wattages, and am not surprised that those particular people are getting much better results....I don't vape drippers and even cotton, so am not familiar with whatever the norm is, but it does seem that there was perhaps a trend in the last couple years to not twist and go really loose, and if so, I definitely agree on your results. ..when I use to use cotton, I believe I was cutting a 7mm strip of ... cotton for a 2 or 2.5 mm coil , while trimming tails slightly and never had issues.....
Question, when you inserted the thickest test piece in your coil, did you twist and roll with your fingers, so it was a dense rod before threading through and then straighten it out after? I ask because I once tested a few wicks and by far, the dry hits came from coils that had not enough, rather then to much, it wasn't until I twisted and rolled a massive piece dense piece, that I was able to get a dry hit.....as said before, there is another factor in rta's, and that is the channels, where in some, you cannot use to much, at least in there....

Hi,
Yeah, Im starting to see the misunderstandings now. I have never twisted a wick in my life
Now, I get a lot of feedback from a lot of people, and I am starting to hear that even RTA users have great results by wicking harder, but I have no idea what they used to do. Getting 7mm strip into a 2,5mm coil sounds about perfect according to my testing, as long as you dont twist or manipulate the tails or ends.
And as I say in the video, the worst case of spattering is the "little harder" than normal wicking. There is a threshold for severe spattering about twice the diameter of the coil (with muji pads). 3x or a little more seemes to be the right amount.
