The main thing you can do without taking them totally apart is to fluff the wicks a bit. I use a dental pik, but some kind of thin curved instrument will work, or even a tiny eyeglass screwdriver. Remove the white mouthpiece and then the thin silicone ring. (be mindful of the coil and ceramic housing). Then use the dental pik to lift the curved part of the wick (where it feeds into the cup) up to level with the top of the ceramic or a tiny bit higher.

It's easiest to fill it in this state....drip the juice in along the sides of the plastic, but don't over flow juice over the ceramic cup. Replace the silicone, lining up the grooves with the wicks. I use the blunt end of an eyeglass screwdriver to tamp it back in place, but I leave more room (ie: don't tamp the silicone ring all the way down...more like halfway...just enough so that it is over the edges of the ceramic cup)

It's a bear at first, but very simple once you get the hang of it. Enjoy!

Some people cut the silicone cup where the wick passes through but I find lifting gently so it has a saddle shape works also less is more I have an infinity and run the 2.8-3.0 ohm at 3.7-4.2 if I go as high as 4.5 I get an off metallic taste try a lower voltage

I also use the 2.8 ohm on an ego and a 5V PT. On the ego, I stay on the button about four seconds on a five second draw. On the PT, I hit the button about two seconds on a five second draw. Any longer on the PT and the vapor is too harsh and bad tasting to suit me. Another little trick with these is to turn them upside down for a second between puffs.

Fat wicks or butterfly wicks?

If you have the older butterfly type wicks...burn them off good with a torch or lighter before using...snip the loops with scissors.


Also consider this if you like running your CE2 pretty hot and it can't wick fast enough for you:

And there is one other mod I know where where PTB material is tucked between the wicks and the outer sleeve. Those folks must be hittin' it very hard! I can't imagine needing that much wicking being needed...but alas...folks have done it

Just to be completely clear, Credo means snip the loop out at the end of the loop so that you have two separate ropes hanging down. Some folks cut all the wicks down to about half an inch long. Not sure what that does because I haven't tried it.

Correct...don't cut any length off the wicks...just open the loops.

The ones that actually cut length off the wicks usually have really frayed wicks and have added PTB on the edges to replace them maybe.

Oh...almost forgot...if your CE2 has a plastic cup instead of ceramic...it is REALLY old...chunk it. They've done like a dozen revs since then.

these are all great posts thanx everyone ssooo much this helped a ton these are the first revision with the ceramic cup at the top not bottom...fat wick not buterfly and i tried to fluff the wick as i had seen that somewhere but then i put the silicone stopper back on tight that sounds like a no no so i will trythat again with the saddle method..i havent gotten a burnt taste or a too high volt taste.....believe me i know this taste well as when i first got my provari i didnt realize i needed twice the amount of juice at HV and i burnt several 510 atties but these are just so bland i guess i was tring to toast some flavor into them so i will pop the volts down to about 4.o and start there....thanks again everyone you have been sssooo helpfull i will check back in later today and let everyone know how it went....

Ah...I have VV too, but with CE2s (Mine show between 2.5 and 3 Ohms) I rarely top 4.2v ... In fact...lotta times drop it as low as it'll go unless it's a really thick coffee or cigar like liquid.

this upside down thing has been the only useable method for me but has been working so far but i will still try the saddle method when i wake tomorrow....right now i switched back to my 3.2 ohm smoktech cartos mmm mmmm i love these i wish i could get the clearomizers to taste this way they hold so much more juice and look hot on my provari

couldn't quite figure out how to do the saddle thing but i took some hobby scissors and made the notch a slight bit bigger and this seems to work better.....I think I am just to impatient for these.....
