Some homemade attys and genesis

Looks good Riel, on the big side, but good all the same. Reverse the dimensions for the tank and chamber, reduce the diameter by one half or so, and you will have a real contender on your hands there. Or, just build a big mod around it.

Asdaq, I don't know man.... It looks kind of spooky too me! Did you see his hand in the background? There is no blood!!!!

Rielevilnside, only kidding.... Looks like a machine that would last a week. Personally I like a much smaller juice chamber - say 3ml at most - I like to change flavours every day so I can enjoy them every time. It seems if you vape for too long on one flavour the taste disappears for some strange reason....

I would have to agree that 3ml is about perfect for the tank size. I shrunk two of my SGV3's from 8ml to 3 and 4 and have been much happier. Less burnt condensate working it's way back into the tank contaminating the good juice also... Of course I just keep multiple Genny's filled with different flavors so I can switch back and forth all day =]

I currently have 4 SGV3's and 1 GTUS with 4 more GTUS on the way. Yeeee haaaaaw

Hi folks, just read the last 10 pages or so, awesome stuff!

I'm new to atty making, though I've been moding and diying for a while. I'm very happy with my mods and liquids, but my coils are horrible... I can get the ohms correct, that's not hard, but the vapor production is just not there. I'm trying to fit my nichrome wrapped ss mesh inside old 306s, and that just seems too cramped, so I'm about to do the rca mod I guess.

If any of you have tips on what to do with my nichrome wire (I have 3 gauges) and #400 ss mesh, to help me get decent vapor production, please let me know! :-) There are many threads with various methods, and I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it all. Tips, or links to good posts would be awesome!

digital my suggestion is to try making your wick roll it up etc you know the drill. (make sure you boil it a few times each time with fresh water just to clean it well) let it dry.. then juice it up and light it up, wait about a half a second and then drop fresh juice on it so it sizzles like bacon. if you don't get the sizzle you waited too long. this is how I oxidize all my wicks and it works perfectly every time. Also it seasons the coating so it tastes better. Then make sure you wrapping with the right tightness you want the wire to be relatively snug against the wick but not cutting into or "hugging" it. Just touching enough you could twist the wick out but not really pull it straight out. As for gapping your coils if its not producing alot of vapor try spacing them wider if that doesn't work try closer.. play around with it and fire it up to test it visually. 3-4 wrap is what I use personally.

typically it gets said alot TETO but for alot of vapor might try if your wick isn't getting fast enough capulary action you can test the speed by after oxidation and burned dry hit the end with a drip of liquid and watch how fast it soaks into the wick if it isn't traveling fast to the other end you may want to roll the wick tighter or use a little less and make the walls of it thinner. Also Nichrome is notorious for stretching. I recommend trying Kanthal to see if you get better results and vapor. 36ga Kanthal will be hotter therefore more vapor faster and 32ga is what I use and its perfect. hit me up if you ever need some help. I'm still only a couple months into Gen stylie atty's but they are by far the best version of vaping I have come accross.

Thanks for the reply!

I'm also going to try a cotton or bamboo yarn wick, as suggested by another thread. I should have an update soon.

Here are a few pictures of a mini I just made today.Purple was the only color tube I had left lol.There is no coil on it yet but you will see a piece of fiber on the wick.That's not part of it lol it must have come off my hands when putting the wick in.Both + and - post are sealed inside of a stainless steel tube inside of the tank so no juice will touch them.

Looks great, especially with the purple tubing. The quest for colored tubing is not an easy one.

Just a word about semantics, 'seasoned' as mentioned in this context doesn't have to do with flavoring but more akin to weathering, as in use for awhile and caked up some.
