Ok so some people have had a little trouble getting the best out of the Exocet so I thought I’d revisit my old how to guides [emoji1303]
Cleaned, dry burned and ready to go
Wick through, tight but not strangling - a slight pull on the coil only
Pop the chimney cap on (loose) not fully pushed down
Trim the wicks to a few mm from the chimney cap
Remove the cap and using your tweezers fluff the ends up
Juice the wicks up and using your tweezers shape the wick from underneath away from the air hole and smooth slightly the same shape of the air holes on the chimney
Pop the chimney back on, being careful not to trap and of the wick when closing the chimney and tamp the wick back a bit trimming until shown in the pic (you can keep slightly longer) don’t stuff it back in the hole but ensure the air hole has no gaps using your tweezers
Lube top and bottom o-rings with juice and reassemble
Bish bash bosh you’re done [emoji1303]
