If I had a Blitzen I would gladly show you how I wick it but I'm sorry to say that I don't. But after I read your post yesterday I wrote your question on a piece of paper and then I went outside and caught a pidgeon that just happened to be passing by. I tied the little piece of paper to her leg with a piece of string and whispered in her ear that she should deliver the message to the Head Master at the Blitzen School of Wicking, located at the top of Blitzen Mountain.
Well, a few minutes ago as I sat here happily vaping my Manta and swigging my drink, I heard a little tapping on my window so I went to investigate. There, on the window sill was that same little pidgeon from yesterday clutching a brown manilla envelope in her little beak. She whispered in my ear that the Head Master had sent some instructions along with some photos to try and assist the ape who is struggling to wick his Blitzen.
So here is the message as I received it;

Feed your cotton thru the coils so they're nice and snug. You want to feel resistance as you feed the cotton thru.

Cut the cotton nice and short so the tails are about even with the lower base of the tank.

Fluff the cotton up at both ends so it's nice and fluffy like white fluffy clouds, bro, clouds!

Whilst it's nice and fluffy make a diagonal cut so that you only cut the bottom and middle section of cotton, leaving the top section alone and at it's original length. Bottom section should now be about level with the base of the inner silver deck and the top section should still be about level with the lower black deck with the middle section somewhere in between the two.

Now begin to tuck the cotton in starting at the bottom with the shortest cotton. As you tuck it in, work your way up so that the last cotton that you tuck is the longest top section of cotton. Picture shows the short bottom cotton being tucked in first.

This is what it should look like when it's all tucked in. Notice that the cotton is fully tucked in but because the cotton is nice and short and cut appropriately, the wick port looks empty when we look inside it from a side view. This is very good because we want the wick port to be full of juice when the tank is fully assembled and not stuffed chock full of cotton.

Repeat the process on both sides. Prime the coils, screw in the base, fill the tank and vape away to your hearts content with no more dry hits!
Now if you'll excuse me, I think I need another drink. Cheers!
