Hi that small one is a .... to fit but it will go, I used a bent paperclip to expand it, and then worked it on , I cant do pics sorry so you will have to use your imagination with the bent paperclip
I threaded that small thing on a pen's "nose" and pressed the pen to the ceramic - a friend of mine actually did the job to transfer the o-ring from the pen to the ceramic... 
Took me half an hour tryin to do it by myself - no success...
Took me half an hour tryin to do it by myself - no success...and it cant be use anymore.split into half.any idea where i can get a new one ? thanks!
I think tonight I am going to try a stainless steel mesh wick again. I just got an idea on how to do it that I think will work.
If it works, I'll post it
If it's the idea I brought to you I want props!
I'm actually going to try a method I've been thinking about since I first got a CE2 .

Looking forward to what you come up with ! Awesome

I surely am interested. I have a bit of mesh and don't know how to properly apply.
i busted the ceramic cup trying to get it in. do i have to order a ce2 and break it apart to get that cup?
i had a ce2 given to me but trying to get the cup out of there I broke it also. any ideas?

Pull the ceramic straight up from the tube....ripping the wires
Take a box cutter or other really sharp blade and cut off the black shrink tubing around the base of the ceramic
Once you peel off all the shrink tubing, pull the wick and coil wires up
Clean ceramic and in one piece
to put the o-rings, I put three pins in the ceramic cup with the small o-rings, then four, five, six, seven .... until I slide the o-ring down
So...after 15 days of use, I decide to change the wick/wire of my 2 iatties...They are working good by now,(especially after the 10th day of use), but my curiosity guide me to make the ..I was using 2 configurations :
1) 3.7V@1.8Ohm
2) 6V@3Ohm
Both of them with 50/50 - PG/VG

I want to tell you that even at this condition, the 2 wicks are strong enough that cannot be cutted by hand

OK guys, I got a SS mesh wick into the iAtty tonight and I can say one thing for sure...
With a mesh wick it hits like a freight train.
TH = 10+
Flavor = 10+
Nicotine delivery = 10+
Like this it is almost too strong. I used #400 SS mesh, pure silver NR wire and 32ga Kanthal at 1.2 ohm.
The iAtty in this configuration has the hit of the UFS at high voltage, amazing flavor and very strong TH. This configurations not for the faint of heart, I could only take 2hits from this beast before I started getting a nic buzz.
Here's how I did it.
I took a 15mm x 50mm piece of mesh and rolled it till it fit in the CE2 ceramic cup and then oxidized the entire wick, not just the part the coil gets wrapped around.
Once the oxidation is was done, I put it in a gutted CE2 to hold it steady while I made the tight bends. T make the bends, I took the butane torch I used to oxidize it, set it to high and focused the heat on one side of where it sticks out of the CE2. I heated it u til it gave to slight pressure then bent it to 45 degrees while still app,ting the heat from the torch. Do the same on both sides so you end up with a wick that looks like kind of like this \_/ (upside down though).
Make your wire like you normally would and wrap it around the center leg of the mesh.
Take 2 pieces Of the fiberglass wick just long enough to use to put between the mesh and the wire leads (you need this to seal up the channels where the wick goes to the liquid and to insulate the mesh from the leads).
Assemble the iAtty as you normally would, fill it with juice and hold on to your socks!
Remember, this setup kicks like nothing else I have ever tried. It does not burn the juice at all, but it produces extreme ammounts of very strong vapor... The first hit made me choke
To those of you brave enough to do this, you have been warned. I promised I'd do the experiment and post the results. Use at your own risk and try it with lower level nic juice first. I cannot say it strongly enough...the iAtty hits VERY HARD like this.
Personally, I will most likely work on a hybrid mesh/wick combo next to try to tame this for every day use.
When I get the tank drained I will open it up again and take some pics so you can see what it should look like when done.

Is SS mesh the same as the mesh that is used to wrap atomizers and bridges? The mesh wick sounds pretty hardcore, I want to give it a try.
That is close, but not quite the same stuff. I don't think the stuff in atomizers is fine enough.
Most of us but it in sheets here. It may not seem like a lot, but the amount they sell is enough for dozens of atomizers and they typically send at least one extra sheet free per order.

hey lorderos, when you take it apart do you mind taking a few pics of what it looks like for reference?
