Well, thanks to JeremyR and PaulBHC, I've managed to improve my wicks pretty consistently. However, my Subox electronics just fried, for reasons unknown, so I'll be in the market for something new. Hopefully something better, as well; between issues with the 510 pin getting pushed down all the time, and the fact that it fried after only 6 months of use, I'm displeased with this mod. I took it apart to try and diagnose the problem, and was reminded of just how cheaply put together it was. I had my eye on a Kanger Dripbox for awhile, and I love the idea of a squonker, but this experience may have put me off of Kangertech for good...
