I got mine from ecig wizard as well just the 2mm , I've been playing with it in the dream all morning I've tried just having it in an s shape going around above the wick channels but that didn't seem to be wicking all that good ,now I'm trying half way down the channels but its pretty fiddly getting it to stay there because it frays so easily how do you have yours roger? I still haven't managed to fill it once without getting juice everywhere tho bahh cackhanded I am lol

Leave the wicks long and screw on the funnel. They should catch in the inlets and you can adjust them as you screw down. Trim once secured.
I fill mine from the top with the very bottom spring section off first, else you will be forcing juice out of the air hole due to the pressure.

Mine is not in the channels, a little fiddly but it works. I have added a fill screw which seems to work ok, but the easiest way without appears to be: Remove Dream from battery Remove drip tip Put thumb/finger over drip tip hole and turn upside down Remove bottom section (complete from the tank) Fill about 1/3 replace bottom section and tighten. Turn right way up, replace drip tip stick on mod and vape away - Do the dry toke if needed to sort pressure/wicking. I take no responsibility for anyone reading this incorrectly and drowning in gallons of juice

Done my first ever re-wick and coil today. 2.5ohms not to bad for a 1st attempt. I followed todds tips for the wick and its capping great www.toddsreviews.com/2013/04/hints-tips-for-ss-dream.html?m=1Filled it by taking the base and chamber off, remove drip tip and cover hole with blu-tack, turn upside down and fill 1/3 full and then screw the base on and turn the right way up. Seems to be doing the job, no leaks or gurgling! Now to work on my coil making skills......

Hi Dream users of Ekowool wick materials.
Have any of you had to either boil or immerse wick in `isopropyl`, to get rid of any background taste ?
Or have you had to do this with other other `silica` wick materials.
I cannot seem to get rid of a sour taste in my mouth. Coils and wick seem perfect, but still this taste
hence my question.
Thanks in advance.

Check your coil carefully, you can still get hotspots. With silica it tastes sourish, with mesh it tastes sharp and metallic.

Hi Roger. Boiled a new silica wick, flamed the 0.20 wire, coil made with 5 wraps on 2mm twin strands of silica. Flamed the set up, left 4 strands hanging down onto shoulder in well. Refilled using plug drip tip end at 1/3 tank full. Set Zmax at 10 watts, vaped `AC Egg Custard`.(previously only used 8 watts). Wow !!!!!! fantastic, wonderful full flavour, bags of vapour. Dont know if boiling and flaming wick materials has solved the sour taste previously. I am very happy and will continue to use this set up. Will be even better when the `ekowool` wick is delivered. Thanks to all for their tips on set up. jeffc
