I may do a deeper design in the future, it would add some length to the unit though.

I'd really love a deeper wider well, plus it doesn't have to increase the total length of the device with the attie attached, the attie would just sit in the well a little deeper, so really although the cap is thicker the attie would be a little more covered.

As a dripper all of my devices suffer the same problem juice runs out the sides of the atties, deeper wells hold the juice and allows me to suck it back through the holes in the atties, if any one can design it David you can!!

It would be best to keep the well dry as the liquid will conduct some current though not as readily as metal. Thus, if there is a continuous layer of liquid from the + to the -, it will likely act as a resistor, hopefully of high enough impedance that it won't look to the battery like a short. One could measure this resistance by screwing in an adapter and measuring between the adapter's unterminated contacts.

I'll take your thoughts underadvisement but must point out that there is always liquid in the well of my P18650 and I've never had a short.
