Wicking and Dry hit problem

[Altheus]

Alright, I've got a Kennedy 22m Comp rda, dual coil 5-wrap 24g Kanthal build (About .33 ohms). juice ratio is 60/40, if I remember correctly.

For the first couple weeks I was able to get 5 hits at 70 watts or so before I would need to re-drip. Now, I can barely get 3 hits without a dry hit.

The only difference has been that I added some thickness to the cotton wicks. Could this be a significant factor? If not, what the **** am I doing wrong?

Thanks

tighter wick can wick more slowly.

Wicking being too tight in the coils will be a factor especially at higher wattages.

Seems like you may have over-wicked for cotton.
I switched to rayon a little over two months ago. I'm through with cotton.
