There has got to be a reason for Lionel wick premature burning other than not enough fluid. Looking at the pictures posted I think we can see the reason. Looking at the smoke unit housing the cut out for air flow would make me think that the impeller needs to spin CCW to allow more air passing through the cutout over the resistor. Too me, looking at the impeller the way it’s mounted, it would need CW rotation for air to be pushed away from the impeller allowing maximum air flow. If I’m correct on the CW rotation the air would hit the casting in the opposite direction needed and not allowing the air to fully excape in to the resistor area causing overheating.
