After reading and experiencing issues on my ego-t type b LR I realized that instead of adjusting the wick (which i assume is not easy) i needed to simple SPREAD the wicking material. I have a few of these attys and realized when the come stock, the silicone wick is bundled very tightly and there is a gap between the wick and piercing tube. I simply took a needle and slightly spread the silicone stringy wick material to cover the entire piercing tube and it works great! to move the entire wick upward seems a lot more difficult. just my 2 cents!
