Didn't disagree with anything you said mate, i was on about not over thinning the ends which will allow e-liguid to flood the deck when the tank is tilted!I was just thinking that if you put too much cotton through the coil, even if you thin out your wicks it will still choke the juice flow and dry hits will definitely occur, cotton needs to be somewhat tight but not so tight that it's hard to get through, alot of dl tanks don't have issues when wicked very tight (some do) but MTL tanks don't like it because of limited airflow and if wick'd to tight juice doesn't get to the coil or just kinda burns and bubbles when it gets to the coil.
