This is the only part that appears 'odd':

sorry...
Are you saying that the carts that TW sells are different from the norm?
Cause thats where i bought my carts from and they have the 2 lips/ridges in them.
The ones that I've gotten from TW (in the US anyway) have been different. They are two piece, like the 801 cart, rather than the "0" type carts for the 901/501 where they are only one piece. Perhaps they have sold both types in the past or even now, but the ones I got from them most recently are the two piece types.
I've tried a bigger plug and it dont wick as good.. basicly way my plug/slug/shotgun are all the same width as thats where the sweet spot is for me.
I understand that and I'm only pointing out that with those type of carts that have the ridges/lips that a bigger plug can act like a spring does and the ridges/lips will hold the bigger plug better than a smaller one IF you're not using any support under it like an actual spring or the large straw in whatever configuration one would use.
And just to be clear, when I say straw here, I'm not talking about a straw in the original 'straw mod'. Although I do use that straw mod with the plug.
I don't think wicking is as big a factor as gravity is, as far as getting the juice to the plug with this method. It is _a_ factor.
I've tried all three versions of yours, along with just the foam plug with the straw mod, all 4 ways evacuate the juice under the plug nicely. For me, the original straw mod helps in refilling, only.
