It won't be a problem, just have the cap off, put juice on it a drop at a time, until the wick won't hold anymore. Count how many drops you put on to saturate it, then use about 1/3 of that to re-wet it whenever it starts tasting dry. You're going to have a blast building on that little thing! Good luck! My tip: use fluffy cotton rather than silica. I love using cotton from qtips. I was blown away by the difference.

thxs for the info I look forward to using it and building my own in the near future I jus have to wait for more supplies to come in future vapemail coming:facepalm:
I just watched different vids on youtube and see others after they build their new setups they burn them with a torch to oxidize the wicks and then i see one post that someone else rinsed his with hotwater first (cap and premade wicks)...am I jus over reading info?

Yeah I've heard of that as well, tried it... I don't like to do it though. Silica gets fragile and stiff after burning it red. after that, shards of silica come off real easy. Becomes a mess and I worry I will inhale some of those shards. Some people burn it to freshen it up after using for a while or to change flavors, but everytime I try that it tastes burnt after, and is very very fragile. These are some of the reasons I like the cotton. It can just be pulled out of the wire wrap and changed out with fresh cotton very easily. I never tried rinsing silica with water.
