This is a 12 year old thread... I have started your own by splitting from the old thread.
 
Enough to fill the evaporator (hot) end, but not back up into the condenser (cool) end. The tricky part is adding the correct amount right after pulling a vacuum since the hoses in the setup will hold more charge than a little heat pipe.
