Hey Vapo, or Mr. Ologist if you prefer. I just got around to doing a wickectomy on this 306. Apparently The wick was nasty. I've got this thing on my Buzz at 5.5 volts now and it IS very nice. I'm getting some very tasty Mocha clouds out of this thing. I think the flavor may be a little better than the 801. This puppy will be my new morning dripper. Thanks for the advise.
