Sorry if someone has posted this but I did a search and couldn't find it anywhere.

Just went about loading ten of the new improved Ce2s I got. The first step of course was cleaning them. As I took them out of the water and padded them dry, on two, on one side, pretty much all the wicking came free.
The second problem, they changed the size---the filler silicone fits loose in the syringe and they leak!!!
What I did & hope you kept the black silicone? tip off the syringe plunger that you used for modding the tank.
Take the black thing and (I used cuticle scissors) cut a hole in the center. Use this to replace the filler silicone that sits on top of the cup. Now I found this impossible to put on after you fill it so I put it on the cup and pushed that part into the syringe tube.
To fill don't push the atty end in the tube. Leave enough room to insert the needle of the syringe your going to use to fill it. Fill with liquid as close to the top as you are comfortable with. Once you have done this press against the atty so it's closer to the end of the tube but leave just enough room to put the needle end in (face the hole of the needle toward the atty). Add liquid until there's liquid clear to the top. Press the atty the rest of the way in.
Wipe it clean and finish assembling it.

As I said, I just did this and am using one right at this moment, and it's working well but that doesn't mean there isn't problems ahead.
