hehe last weekend I was getting dry hits on a 4mm coil with wick pressed into the juice channel. Tried with lesser and lesser amounts of cotton in channel till it worked properly...for a while, then dry hits came back. Went back to 3mm coil on the same juice and no dry hit prob. That's why I thought that maybe the wick from coil to deck was too thick, and it's not just trimming (which by itself is easy), but it needs to be cut like a layered hairstyle. The law of diminishing returns does apply vis-a-vis coil size.
And speaking of trimming, I cut off the lip of the juice port (the one on the flat side, not the ridged side) till it was flush with the silicone gasket. Not in an effort to stem a leak, but because each time I opened the cap, the silicone would distort and pull away from the wall of the topcap. Works fine now with smoother opening action.
I just close the top side of the juice channel. There is "indicator" on the juice channel on how much cotton you need.
Yeah, the thickness on the coil side cannot be hard. It still needs to be loose. The liquid cannot travel when there is no opening at all.

No matter how many times I recotton my subtank v3, flavor keeps shooting up. Any idea how to prevent this? Or is this a common thing for tanks?
Try adding more thickness to the cotton, or fire at lower wattage. Too much juice flooding the coil will cause spitting. I usually cut the cotton double the width of my coil. Example is 3mm coil gets 6mm of cotton.
