Steel rod cable wicking

Surface tension i believe is what allows for the capillary action to work, if u want to get even deeper into the physics

Yes, I like to learn how things work

If you look at a close up of the ends the spaces between the individual wires will act like straws sucking liquid into the cotton on top, aswell as liquid entering the bottom of the wire it will also seep into the sides so as the juice gets lower theres less to seep in through the sides plus it has further to travel to the top. I have the brunhilde mtl and swear its witchcraft how well it wicks.

I remember seeing something about dropping tissue paper inside a glass of liquid and the other end in another. The liquid travels by itself to other glass. Maybe working the same way but wonders if the draw activates it or it happens by itself

Re wick and don’t prime, just watch what happens

The vacuum created by the draw and by the liquid in the cotton being vaporized sucking more liquid in is the why everything works, yes. eventually it would absorb, just much slower, and only if the cotton was touching the juice (obviously)

Thank you, I understand it a bit better now. So the length of the cables or the amount would affect the flow. Wondering why the eXpromizer comes with 2 plugs so you can use only 4 and not 6. If it works with 4, why put 6 lol? Sorry I'm a pain for questions

Dunno there, im just regurgitating general vaping principles since it always fascinated me too

In theory, the narrower the gaps between the strands of cable the higher/further will be the flow of juice due to capillary action.

So how does that work when something is sold with 6 installed but you can block up 2? Why would you want to limit the juice flow?

Er, sorry, I don't know what you are referring to. I'd need a picture or a link to a particular item.
If you had 6 gaps and reduced to 4 gaps then that would imply less gap which implies "higher" juice due to capillary action.
