Thank you so much Miss Roxy! Oddly enough, the wick you picture that is working for you, is my typical wick on other addy's, and is what I first used on the Bellus. With total failure. Seems everyone is getting different results.
R. Tripper just put up a vid on Y-Tube, in which he put the wick just flat on the deck, and used the excess semi wrapped around the deck surface. Sorta looks like nesting. Tried it, and low and behold, I filled while AC ring was off, dabbed the small amount of seep out of the air channels, and not a drop leaked since.
Used all day yesterday, while at HP, and about town. Both upright, and with addy on side. Performed flawlessly. Woo-Hoo!!!
Flavor is outstanding. No post looseness Here!

Glad you found something that works. I can't watch Rip Trippers without getting a migraine
