First make a loop in your silica wick and wrap the coil about 1/2" from the end of the loop.
Then run one of the NR leads (or both) through the holes in the ceramic cup.
Pull your wick loop over the bottom peg of the ceramic cup and run 1 of the NR leads into the hole of the peg (this can be tricky, there doesn't need to be a lot of wire in that hole. 1/8" will do.
Then press the ceramic cup onto the center pin of the base. This can take some effort and may push the center pin out of the bottom of the base (pictured). Squeeze them together hard and everything will fit nice and snug. Tuck the two loose ends of wick down the sides.
Take your second lead wire and place it in one of the two side notches. Bend it over and secure it in the direction of tightening the treads.
Screw the top portion down tight. If there is a gap (pictured) it will flood. Check the wire that is folded over the threads, it may be too long and interfere with screwing down the top tight.
This is a nice tight fit
All that is left to do is ohm it out.
