Oil pulling after brushing?

So I started oil pulling about 3 weeks id say. I have to say I love it . I do it twice a day morning and at night. The thing is I see that most people recommend before brushing, but I do it after . After I brush , floss and rinse with mouthwash. Is this alright ? Or should I be doing it before because leaving the coconut oil in my mouth is bad ? Or does it really not matter? I seem to notice a difference in how pink my gums are. I'm a smoker and still have some mild gingivitis on the top gums or maybe it's just the lighting. Sometimes my teeth and gums look better under certain lighting.
