Most experienced vapers recognise that wicking is a difficult thing to be consistently precise about ... cotton as a medium is variable, so making identical wicks time after time is practically impossible. I tend to make it worse for myself by switching between Muji, Cotton Bacon, Fuzion and Native Wicks on an almost contant cycle.
The constant is in the prep ... open out the fibres before gently rolling, get the tension right inside the coil, fluff out the tails, trim out the excess tail (the bigger the ID opf the coil, the more I will trim off) then lay over the juice holes or slots, never compressing the fibres on the deck.
It's pretty evident when you're using too much or too little, then you find the operable range in between is wide; the Aromamizers are not finicky like other tanks.
I also find wick longevity to be variable ... juice is the main factor in this. Sometimes a wick doesn't really break in until 3-4 tanks have been through it, other times a wick is done after only 2-3 tanks. Don't stress it too much, it doesn't take long to rewick and it's cheap as.
The main cause of condensation issues is the choice of drip tip. Those with o-rings tend to add a step inside the chimney, I never use them, I always choose a friction fit.
