Same here - i wick fairly tight through a 2.5mm coil, do a bunny ears number, cut away about 1 or 2 mm above the peek section on the FL and just push the wick down - if the cotton seems a bit compressed near the wicking holes I just stick in pointy tweezers and spread it around a bit but with 50/50 juice it seems to wick fine even if I think I may have used too much cotton
I somehow managed to screw up the first wicking job I ever did on Dvarw FL but in retrospect I don't know how I managed it. I think I probably went OTT thinning the wick.
