Part 2:
It didn't flood after 15 minutes, so I closed the air flow and opened the top to fill it all the way.
Then it flooded, 5 or 6 big bubbles came up. I filled it, inverted for the last bit of the cap, then righted it and opened the air flow. There was juice in the air holes, but not enough to flood out the top of the mod, just in the air holes. I wrapped it in a paper towel and blew it clear. No flooding since, even filled all the way. I am probably short a bit of wick, but not much. And I turned the SX up to max and it was wicking enough to prevent dry hits. Photo of the new juice dams on the deck attached. I forgot to pic the new wick tails, but I described them in the last post.
