Here's the gap I'm talking about. In the picture I used peaches and cream #4 yarn (4 stands) split into two stands, and put 6 stands in the positive channel. This is way more then you would want to use since this stuff really expands. I'm just demonstrating how you can have the channel full, but there may still be empty space between the ceramic, steel housing, and the ring/base/mouthpeice.
Here we see light coming through the gap.
So on my particular terminator-c, even if I was to use 3mm silica, areas outside of the actual wick channel are left as juice channels, hence flooding.
Solved it by using cotton balls, and after placing the wick, patch up the gap with tiny amounts of cotton. Only the main wick acts as a wick, the rest just keeps juice from completely bypassing the wick and flooding the device.
No flooding since, I finally don't hate this device.
