vermiculite is moisture absorbent. As it does, expands in volume.
If you want better drainage and add perlite, adding vermiculite is defeating the purpose. JMO If I want tp improve moisture retention but not compromise drainage I would add floor dry , a baked DE sold at auto parts stores. I have used UltraSorb (from O'Reily )brand in my 511 mix in the past.
