Pull the cotton through: insert the cotton by the twisted end into your coil. Pull it through the other end. It should be snug, but not so much that it moves your coil when you pull it through. Cut the ends: make sure the cotton is centered and cut all of the ends with enough length to go into the atomizer deck without getting bunched up.

Hey guys I have a question. Is it fine to use normal facial cotton for wicking? or does it have to be organic cotton.

It'd be best to be unbleached organic cotton. Regular cotton balls are probably bleached and some may have other things in them like Hydrogen Peroxide. When cotton was first being used for vaping some would use regular cotton after boiling it, but I'd suggest staying safe and getting unbleached and organic.

How to use Muji pads?

I peel off a thin layer from the shiny top and bottom first, then gently spread the cotton apart, similar to the Scottish roll method, just with much less cotton. I spread it out evenly about 4-5 times the original width, should be thin enough to read through, then gently roll it back together. I put it through the coil, it should be slightly snug, not too tight or too loose. Then fluff and trim as needed. The spreading apart , imo, has helped to loosen the fibers and wicks much more consistently.

At times I've thought that using more cotton reduces spitback, but this could be down to the nature of the coil or even the juice.

Can you use too much cotton in a vape?

You really can't use too much cotton. If it fits through, its good and if its a typical rda like a kennedy, velocity, etc just trim the tails to where they just reach the bottom of the juice well. "Less is more" doesn't really apply to the current RDA that we have with massive amounts of airflow and large juice wells. Using less cotton was more important on some of the older RDAs where using too much cotton would choke off the airflow. I also get a better vape with more cotton vs. less. Too little and you start getting more spitback.
