Ok ladies and gents i have spent countless hours trying to figure out how to make this wick better because i really want it to work. I finally found a way after very many hours here is what needs to be done.
First off your going to need to drill both holes to start on the ets. Not very big, just bigger then whats there. you may need to drill 3 maybe even 4th if you like a more airy draw (explained at the bottom).1/32 (i think) or smaller drill bit works fine. just as long as its a hair bigger then whats there. dont go too big because you can drill too wide and ruin the bottom threads. if your worried about this you can drill on the two other sides that dont have any holes. i drilled bigger holes on the opposite sides and a little higher to steer clear of any threading. i cant tell you what i used because none of my bits are labeled, but it was a very small bit. you can try and do this build without drilling any holes first. if you find its gurgley you will need to drill at least 1 hole larger.
Once you have the one hole drilled out you will move to essentially tweaking the head. Here is how its done.
Step 1. Take a clean head and screw into the base of the ets (cleaned dry base)
step 2. Get a pair of needle nose pliers and very gently wiggle the metal cap off the head. Screwing it into the base allows you to keep the bottom threads in tacked as appose to using two sets of pliers.
Step3. Once you have the cap off the filler material may or may have not come off with the metal cap. Take that filler material and throw it as far as it will go, you no longer need it.
Step4. You now have the coils exposed and they are nice and pearly white. Take some cotton. Twist it so its thick but not to thick, it needs to fit in between the top and bottom coil. The cotton has to touch both coils in order for both coil wicks to get saturated. In between your fingers twist one end of the cotton as thin as you can get it.
Step5. Feed the cotton in between the top and bottom coil and pull it through.
step6. Trim the excess but leave some hanging over the edge of the head. This allows the cotton to soak up the liquid from the two holes on the metal top cap.
step7. Replace the top cap, but make sure the two holes are lined up with the two slots the bottom wick protrudes from. Make sure the excess cotton folds down also blocking those two holes. This allows the liquid to flow into that hole a little, but soaks the cotton which is touching both wick and coils.
Step8. Prime it with a few drops from the top once the cap is replaced. Fill tank and let it sit for a few mintues.
Your done. Enjoy your vape. It works fantastically with 50/50 juice no gurgling, no leaking no nothing. If you find your getting gurgles, you can drill out a 3rd or 4th hole if you like that airy draw to help with pulling less liquid into the head. I am not sure if this would work well with 100% pg or even 80/20vg. I just know that it works well with 50/50. I can see it working well with 100% vg.
Try it and i hope its success as it is for me. Been through 1 full tank with zero issues. The down fall is you will have to do this with all your new heads, but hey at least it works.
