Not vicki's video please, It doesn't show how to take the peice out of the atty shell. How do you actually take the plate and peircer out of the atty, with tweezers? From the top or bottom of the atty? Will I break it? Any help on this would be awesome. Thanks!

There is a youtube demo from cignot on this, their site has it and a search should show it on YT
If you have a narrow pair of needlenose plyers or surgeons clamps, you just grab the needle part and pull and the plate and wick come out the mouthpiece side. After you do what you need to do to the wick, you put the needle plate into an empty cartridge and put it back. It goes to the right place and you can pull it in and out as much as you want.
I have photos in my profile, if you want to see what it looks like inside.
What's wrong with your wick?

The type a atty's come apart, but I am not sure if the type B's do, because they are one peice, is it still possible to pull the plate out? Don't wanna break it.
The draw is just really tight, and I guess if you pull it back a little, it is supposed to loosen up the draw. You have a type a atty in your pics right?
You could try sticking a needle down the needle plate hole and wiggle the wick around a bit. That might loosen it up without pulling it out. Rinsing it under hot water could also loosen things up. I assume you tried taking a few no power drags to get it flowing.
I gave up on the tanks after the original and LR, too much trouble for too little flavor. I wish I could be of more help.

Thats okay, I actually pushed my tank in there and it just pulled the whole peice right out, with out me even trying. I have a technical question though. You know how when you pull the plate out, there is a coil surrounded by a metal mess circle? Well, does the wick haev to toush the metal mesh or the coil? Is it bad if your wick is touching the coil??
There isn't much room down there so it does have to touch the coil and sort of stretches out and feeds the mesh ring too. There is a wick inside the coil that brings juice into the atty from the mesh ring reservoir in addition to the main wick.
So yes I think it is suppose to touch the coil but never dry. When I was making wicks I would drench them in VG before I put them back. It may be why people have burnt taste troubles after they wash and dry them. You might want to drip down the side vents to prime it before you put in a tank after a good cleaning. Dry charred wick tastes nasty, but the wick itself won't really burn up since it's silica. It will stick to the atomizer coil though.
That's weird it came out without force. Might be your problem if it wasn't pushed down where it should have been.

Thanks so much for your expertise. It really helps. I think the only reason my plate came out was because I was messing with it for a while, before I put my tank back in. So it's okay if the main wick touches the coil, or even goes staright down in that hole? Or should I spread the wick out to touch the coil and the mesh circle? Thanks a lot, and I will try and put a few drops of liquid aound before I put the plat back on. Ever since I messed with my atty and pulled the sick out a little bit, to loosen up the draw, it has tasted really wierd and I can't figure out the cause. So I have been vaping on my other atty I havn't messed with.
