Yep, airdisk isn't pushed right down, looks like it's almost flush with the rim in that last pic.
At the moment 25 watts with Fantasi Grape, I mostly use 70/30 and even at 25 watts it's really dry, no matter what build goes in, even tried a spaced coil to no avail
It's as far as it can go, the top if the disk is level with the metal surround it fits into
Have you tried a different juice?
That's really strange then, my wicking isn't nearly as precise or neat as what you've done there and I get a really "wet" vape, I did take the airdisk out completely to get more air. Is your juice flow open the whole way?
I've tried almost every juice I own
Yup it's open all the way, I can't for the life of me figure it out
Oh no, thats really strange @Moey_Ismail
Are you sure the top cap (with the hexagonal thing) is on properly (making a proper seal) ?
and as @Strontium says, that your juice flow control is wide open?
Maybe its not feeding enough juice in
Did you try opening the cap when you feel like it's going to try hit. Check if there are bubbles. Or else do the tried and tested IT fix...reset. strip it down and put it back together maybe one of the orings is not sitting right.
I decided to do a full strip down, wash, dry, lube and rebuild with pics so you guys can help me double check if I've missed anything. Took into account everyone's input and questions and took pictures accordingly to help oversee it all.
VG and an earbud for lubing o rings and threads when all the pieces were removed from the ultrasonic cleaner and dried.
Airdisk pressed in flush. 
Coil height as shown and 1 wrap removed as advised. 
Coil position as shown, directly over and inline with the airflow. 
Pulsed and removed any hot spots.
Resistance and wattage set.
Wicked with Cotton Bacon V2 and cut till o ring on base.
Cotton tails combed out with metal pick.
Fuzzies trimmed till base o ring.
Left juice port and wick tail.
Right juice port and wick tail.
Unsaturated wick view from the front, still very fluffy and uncompressed.
Juice of choice, it's 1 that I know well and is a 70/30 blend.
Wicks saturated nd never touched after.
Juice flow control fully open and bubbles rising.
Unfortunately I can't vape right now as I'm fasting, so I'll leave the juice flow open and let the wicks fully saturate and report back this evening when I can vape again. This is how I've been doing it all along so I'm hoping by some miracle the tiniest of change makes this work for me.

Looks perfect, you did give it a quick pulse after saturating the wick? Even if not, shouldn't affect the outcome much, I just find that it primes the wick for better absorption.
I'll be very surprised if it doesn't work right.

The only thing I do different is that I use less cotton wicking as this tank is very forgiving and likes less wick (but I don't think it out with a pick, so guess you get the same result just filtering methods) and the after bow tieing I trim the top third to half of the wick, tuck in, poke a few holes in the juice holes to ensure cotton not packed in there n it's done.
That looks very good to me @Moey_Ismail
It should work
If it doesnt work then maybe the only thing I can say is that somewhere in there - the seals are not sealing properly so maybe the juice isnt flowing with the same vigour as it should.

@Moey_Ismail looks good.Next time take the air disk out and run it without the air disk.
Also @Moey_Ismail try starting it at 15W.
Work at 1 to 2 watt increments.
Also if you want we can meet at vapecartel and get the thing sorted if you don't come right.

I don't thin out my wicks but I run it at 20W and I don't get dry hits..strange though..
I run at 30W @0.46 and can chain vape with no dry hits, if anything I close the juice flow a bit.
Trim the bow tie more if u can. The wick in the wicking ports for me I make it very scarce. Leaving a space for the liquid to flow into the wicking holes! Don't press the wick up against the wicking holes leave a space in there!!
Tried that before, if I comb the cotton and trim the bow tie there's way too little cotton and I get gurgling or leaking. I can only do one or the other
Jus some pics maybe if u can help my wick is very thin almost see through. I realize it's a tad dirty but vaping great.
With just the combing my wick density is about the same
How did it vape cuz? I hope it's working properly now.

No dry hits yet bro but a horribly dry vape, that dry hit is coming I can feel it but I'm dreading it so much I'm taking short pulls. Not enjoyable at all
Not sure if this will help but close juice flow all the way down and then open fully. I had similar experience after a clean and some bubbles were trapped somewhere inside. After opening all the way again they escaped...wicking great on long slow draws.
