So, I should nonchalantly pull these each time before take-off and try to not lose the plugs? :D

You need a third one for the side-by-side test. :)
1) original (no fill hole)
2) remove plug for flight
3) remove plug prior to takeoff and replace after reaching cruising altitude

...or you could just try #3 on the return flight.

Yeah, but if the wick is wet the best way for the air to get out is up the center, which with a wick going down to the bottom it could act like a straw. I suppose another way would be to have a really short wick that barely sticks in at all and then it could be re-wet by tipping, hmmm. That sounds like less odd messing around when I really don't want to be. Great, more to do. :)

As long as there is room in the thing for some expansion all will be well. It's not like the second you hit 30,000 feet the thing will empty it's self.

Actually, I don't think you want room for expansion. Well, not the air anyway. It's the air that expands to equalize the pressure, not the juice. There is juice in the wick so the air pushes out the juice in the wick on it's way out. Once the air pressure is equalized, inside the tank and out, the air in the tank quits expanding.

Don't think a short wick will make a difference. The amount of air coming out will not be large. I seriously doubt it's more volume than the volume of the wick hole through the cap. Basically with a wet wick you have a column of juice in the wick hole in the cap. As the air in the tank expands it pushes this column, or part of it, out the hole.

So if the wick is wet, and it's in the hole, the air expansion is going to push out juice. I don't think the seepage would amount to more juice than is in the wick hole in the cap. Probably just a large drop or maybe 2. (naturally dependent on the volume of air in the tank).

SOLUTION! make sure your tank is completely full with juice (no air) on takeoff. (haha, if it still leaks then you know that juice expands too :) but I doubt it)

Hi all,
I finally finished making WillPro14. Serie A has 60 pieces (for now). Beautiful view :p .

Hi Brazilleo,
knitwear can be found in cartomizers. The classic with cotton wool (Green Smoke, e-cig E9, old 510, etc).
Before use, they must tan over a flame and rub with your fingers. In order to allow a bit.
DIY kits WillPro 14 not look, is home to find himself :D .
But if you want a couple of them vacant.

If one of you, no problem. DIY price is 45 USD. Unfortunately shiping to the U.S. is terrible. The price of postage is 33 USD. Paypal wants more dollars.
Total price will cost about 82 dollars.
Plans WillPro are public. You can do it in the states.

Oh man, yeah, the shipping is quite high for the states. If two of us went in together in the US would it be the same? I'm guessing w/ the extra weight it'd be higher. I'd love to have one!

The juice coming out the short wick by itself I wouldn't mind and then the air bubble could expand and escape fine. There's 3 takeoffs though, and while I hope to be pretty full at the beginning, somehow that bubble is going to get bigger each time. :blink: and it would be good if they still work when I get there too :vapor:
