No, if you cut the wick you end up with thousands of strands everywhere, but
I did suggest blue foam or old-carto filler material a few posts ago.
Banjo: How is the regular silicon ring in replacement of the filler ring doing? Leaking yet?
So far it's working perfectly, as long as I keep the carto upright. If it lays on it's side any length of time I usually get a little bit of juice in the 'ol air tube.
when i used the original design revision 1, it had no lekaing issue, those had no slits, some where real good becuase there was enough room for the wick but it did not leak and those used the same type of innerplug.
so maybe no new special innerplug is needed and they just need to close the slits but leave the right amount of room for the wick to go into the cup.
I'm having similar issues as everyone else with the new XL (haven't tried the shorter ones yet). With the filler ring all the way seated I get a dry sometimes burnt vape every time. If I pull the seal up some to alleviate pressure on the wick it starts to leak when on it's side. In examining the seal and the cup, the seal when fully seated goes over the wick where it enters the cup. It appears to be just enough to slow the wicking down to almost nothing. If I pull it up slightly it wicks better, but then leaks everywhere. I even tried thinning my juice down so it would work better, but that just made the burnt taste worse. It'll be thick but I'm going to try eliminating the water from my VG mix entirely and see what it does.

My little sister got here today, and I can't wait to try one out on her.
34 errr hours now!

You could try notching out the filler cap so it doesn't touch the wick...
Nav just curious have you tried ditching the filler ring altogether and just pushing the flat side of the middle ring up against the cup? You might get a little juice in the air-tube if it's laid on its' side, but you shouldn't have any external leaks with it. Give it a try if you haven't yet.
my opinion is that there was only one wicking issue, and that was fixed ages ago, in the originla plastic r2 that they made afer the 16th of the month, where the coil loops were made almost twice the size.Someone give me a quick bullet list of wicking-issue fixes. You all post too much too quick! Lol
