The new one are even easier now. Turn them around. On the button beside the contacts you will find a small plug. Use a needle/nail or anything small and kindly pull it out. Then refill with a syringe.

Bad Video but you will get the idea

I initially skipped that video because I couldn't stand how long he took to finally start and of the potato quality :(

Turns out, it is very difficult until you find a good tool because the plug is flush with the bottom of the cap and you only destroy the plug with a needle e.g.

In the first picture I used a needle at the beginning but then I switched over to something I found in the basement, which is something you push to grab something where you can't get with your hands.

The next time I refill I maybe try rewicking, but I think the pods will leak then.

    Is refilling the same as with the old ones where you just pull off the mouth piece and there is a little knob which you remove?
    And how about re-wicking? How do you remove the bottom and what cotton do you use? Is the pod still leak free afterwards?
    The new ones dont have holes and plugs at the top. Theres a plug at the bottom, but its a pain to get back in.

    Better to release the base by cutting around with a modelling knife. Some will come apart easy, some wont come apart at all.

    Refilling seems easy with the above mentioned tool.
    Are the pods still leak free after opening them up? And did you already rewick them, what did you use for the wicking? (diameter of the mesh e.g.?)
