I can't remember if I left those holes exposed or not :facepalm: Hell I just figured out how that feature works last night lol.
So you are saying I need to close them right? I will try that and closed basic feeding tonight. And If that doesn't work I'll try the o-ring bit to seal the mouthpiece.

I would think opening them. Closing would make it like ody d have nowhere to go but path of least resistance.

2mm wicks are very thin for Ithaka aal, you are right. But they are good for dual coils and I thought that you used dual coils. So put 2,5mm or 3mm wick to vape normal

I tried it because you mentioned before that you removed 2 strands from a 3mm wick and put 2 with a tight single coil and it was working nice with you. Anyway I have 3mm.wicks, I will five that a try

Only the button heads aal because we touch it with our hands very often. Brass tarnish because we touch it. If its inside tubes it doesnt tarnish
Big tubes as in top tubes? What about other parts that come in the brass package? Will they be of this material since you mentioned button heads.

If I wrote 2mm wick for a single coil I was wrong aal, sorry. I meant 2,5 for sure

Staying with the wick thickness, we use only 3mm wick. I did try removing 2 strands the other day. Neither seemed to cause me Noah's Ark type of flooding I do tend to get some drips out the brass pin. But I also tend to favor theX formation with my dual coils. But River,I believe you use the X setup?

About 10 hours ago I closed my basic feeder for the first time. Before I did upon filling I would loose about 10 drops of juice, I thought that they needed to be open to feed well but that doesn't seem to be the case with mine. I have only filled it two times so far and it hasn't lost a drop during refilling or other wise. I notice no difference in the vape either open or closed. Working real good.
3 mm wick with 2 strands removed down the sides, single coil, 1 ohm 30 gauge K, ceramic slots open

Hey Yankee. Spark-o-matic + 32awg nickel -> 2 sec charge and ZAP! Next time I make wires I'll snap a shot to show how really clean and tiny welded joints look. If you're talking about the banged up thumb, reconstructive surgery after a Forrest Gump moment with a machete...

Yeah I've been using dual X coils but last night I did a single coil with a blank wick crossing over the top of my coil. It's good but the dual is better imo.
Ok so tonight I will make sure I have the holes in the ceramic exposed and I will close BF, fill per aalwani's suggestion, and cross my fingers. Thanks again guys :)

Oh don't say thanks yet. This is almost like playing darts while blindfolded. :)
But do share your results.
