Now wrap that rectangle of cloth around the coil again from the center of the rectangle and make a two layer wrap around. Keep the tube at the top of the carto, and remember that this has to be the air way through the carto, so when wrapping, keep that in mind. Wrap as though you were leaving a tube in the middle of the cloth material. The top tube, the coil(lump heh) and the bottom connector tube all help form the airway in the middle of this cloth.

Now carefully and methodically begin wrapping the filler material again. If you find a great way to do this or a good replacement method PLEASE let me know! Wrap it snugly, but not overly tight. You want the juice to fill the spaces in the filler so don;t make it a solid object.

Now you see the rewrapped innard again, check your tube at the top is not covered with filler.

At this point you can try sliding a needle GENTLY and SLOWLY and CAREFULLY down the tube and see if it can get all the way through. You may have to guide it around a bit and get it out the bottom.

Now since you forgot to clean and dry the empty tube like I did, right? No? Well put something heavy on your carto innards so it does not unroll and then clean and dry your carto. This includes Dremeling off any sticker that might be left gluey and dying to attract dirt.
