Definitely, I was gonna say that too. Just use a little juice, maybe 3 drops on the coil and paint the cotton. Don't saturate it too much because as soon as you fill it up and close the top fill, it'll pour out the juice since the cotton is too saturated.Is it posssible that I'm saturating the wick too much before filling up the tank?
By the way, I noticed you have the airflow screw inserted. Don't you find the draw a bit tight with that coil?
