Yeah you would need some extra silica wick...cutting the existing wick wouldnt be good. I have two different types from MSC Industrial Supplies...one is from a silica sleeve that has long continuous fibers...and the other if from silica rope strands that is a short , cotton like fiber that would work great for that. Sorry v1..been in and out so I missed your post. Silicone putty might work too...it may be easier for them to make two tabs dropping down into the gaps on the plug around the ceramic cup...dunno!
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.
Ok, thanks for the update. I'll keep that in mind when I get mine, on my way to pick them up now!
I mentioned this about a month ago. The design difficulty with these is the wicking. As everyone is finding out, there is a very fine line between insufficient wicking and leaking. Unfortunately, as I speculated before, this line seems to be much finer than the difference between thick and thin juice (i.e. PG and VG). I believe that if you had everything sized so it worked perfectly with YOUR juice it would be dry for someone else and leaking for yet another person. Maybe an adjustable cap for the cup?
You could try notching out the filler cap so it doesn't touch the wick...
Fine tuning it might be super tricky just like you said and there is only so many things i can think of to fix it, i can find a problem but fixing it isnt my speciality.lol
At what point is it good enough though, if the leaks and primer are gone will it be acceptable that some will wick better and others wont since that most likely will be a impossible task as you say.
Ill be happy with it once the main leaks are gone and the primer is gone but im sure others might still experience the splatter issue of juice falling form the wick, they do know about this and said they will try to find a solution for that as well, take that for what its worth and dont hold me to it but thats what they said.
What do you suggest quick, have any ideas on what might solve it, is a different plug something that might help.

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.

I sent you some XL's to try today
glad to see you here, I just hope you keep up with the somewhat possible leaks or threads and things
ok it looks like everyone got their samples of e2's and juice so that covers all of those people, everyone else asking for samples in the last few days will recieve them after monday since its a holiday. tracking numbers will be sent later on.
test them and voice your opinions.

When I say leak I mean it leaks into the air tube and down to my battery. I've only had one leak out of the carto and that's because of a bad press fit of the battery adapter into the tube.
Someone give me a quick bullet list of wicking-issue fixes. You all post too much too quick! Lol
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.
So I was told that they would not replace my e2 v1's with new ones (15 of them) or one v-go battery that was DOA. They said I would have to ship them back to get replacements. I understand that some people scam to get goods, but I order from them a lot and they know the v1's were hit or miss even with modding. I don't really mind just giving them up, but it seems like poor customer service to me.
