I tried two methods of installing wicking.
The first and more traditional way is to wrap the wicking around the resistors, and let it dangle into the fluid well. However doing so, the wicking chars in a short period of use.
A better way is to over-stuff the wicking into the fluid well such that it naturally contacts the resistors. I find that this technique is easier to do, it allows more smoke fluid per fill, the wicking lasts longer, and the smoke is profuse.
