If you're not getting enough wicking many people remove one of the flavor wicks with great success. Something that worked for me was not tightening the base all the way onto the
tank. I look to make sure the seal is made tight, and then I just make the threads snug, not all the way tight. At most, I have left about a fingernail sizes gap between the base and the tank. Once you find the sweet spot you will be happy, just try different, minute adjustments one at a time and keep track of what works and what doesn't.
