I don't have a v2, but when I had a v1, I never put any wick in the slots. I used larger coils, 2.4mm to have a thicker wick. And trimmed the edges to fit the curve of the deck. Never had any flooding or dry hits. Maybe try that?
The Billow v2!

That's what I would suggest. The v1 had those grooves too, just smaller. Wick level with the deck and call it good.
Good to know
. I'm uncomfortable making a suggestion on an atty I don't have, but that worked perfectly for my original Billow and my Orchid.
That's how I wick all my rta's now. Works on all of them. LolGood to know
Ok, not sure which atty this is. It might be the Silverplay, but hope it helps. You can see how I trimmed one wick. Cutting to fit the deck edges:
1. Prevents liquid from getting past the wick.
2. Prevents the chimney from grabbing and moving the wick. Especially helpful when you have a one piece chimney and can't see if your wicks are still in place.
If your having harsh/dry hits, give this method a try.

I absolutely love this tank. Solid craftsmanship--flawless finish. No leaks, excellent flavor, easy to build on. Came with 2 2.5mm 26ga coils which were an extremely tight fit in the inner sleeve, but work wonders in this big ... tank.
Using the heck out of my v2 as well. Yep, gonna grab another asap.
Don't buy 'em all dang it! [emoji12]
I'm going to buy a second one next week. I've already exhausted my vape budget for this week!
I've used 3mm coils in the original. It's tight, but totally worth the extra time to make it fit.
No matter how close I had them to the posts the coils still made contact with the extra chimney thing. I might try some 3mm coils for my next build.
Well I was actually guessing at 2.5mm. They were probably the same 3mm coils.
Found a small burr inside the threading of the 510 that I missed on initial cleaning. It's working great now, no leaks or any other issues.
I've wicked all the ways everyone has posted on this thread. Burnt hits. constantly, had to adjust the 510 pin on the bottom with my SX mini M class to get the ohms to stop jumping, but it doesn't seem to care how i wick it, my friends have tried, can't get it either. I have two of them both wont work at all. ive tried cutting flush then tucking the tails into the wick slots, i've tried letting some in the juice channels, i've tried cutting further then the deck and barely letting it sit in the wick channel. I tried wicking it like the billow one. doesnt matter. burns every time after one or more hits. This makes me so frustrated because i know i will love this tank if i can figure out what im doing wrong.
You must be using too much cotton, nothing else would be causing it..
If I remember correctly you said earlier that you are vaping at 4.2 volts, I wonder if that is just too much power for your build to keep up. I am happily vaping without issue on a .4 ohm build at 25 watts or 3.3 volts.
Do you have the ability to turn down the power and slowly move up to find the billows happy place?
Yeah and I do, still burnt hits. The billow one I COULD vape at 4.6 no problems, I never did and with thinner juices I often turn it down. But it doesn't seem to matter what wattage/voltage it is, it just burns. I even tried very little cotton and I got flooding with burning
I just pushed mine to 40 watts (4.2 volts) to see if my build could handle it. Chain vaped for 5 minutes and no dry hits, uncomfortable for me but no issues.
I feel for ya man! I'd be frustrated as heck too. Looking forward to your pics, maybe that will offer us some clues....
