got it... i'm going to give it a go on my next wrap... I got enough Genesis gear to warrant a little workshop of my own, but have never been a diy'er... would you suggest for a "drill bit" one that fits as snug in the wick hole as possible?
You sure you don't have to much tension on the top leg? Also, you might try using a needle to widen the top of your wick a bit to ensure good contact with the top coil.
Anyway, when I use the Petar K method, my wick doesn't just 'slip' in I have to 'screw it' into the coil. That way I know I'm getting good wick to coil contact.
