Hopefully the new Viscious Ant 30mm Kraken reignites the love for the originals....

...and on that note, do we have any 22mm Kraken enthusiasts in here?
One of the more remarkable and lasting genesis tanks over the years, aesthetically exceptional and built with Vicious Ant quality that's top-tier... I cant be the only one!

I have 2 clones, I need an authentic. I like the krakens but the cheap azzzz clones have rusted lol. I don't buy clones of anything anymore , not based on the moral high ground , just based on the fact that you really do get what you pay for

On a side rant, I am sick to death of the new "Genesis style tanks" I'm sure the avocado and others are good for what they are but it's annoying to google Genesis tanks and some such cotton build tank shows up. Online vendors even call them Genesis tanks

Yep, a copper and a stainless steel. (aunthentic). Agree!

OMG. Don't even get me started. I agree.

I try and take every opportunity I can, whether it be online or at a local B&M or whatever, to educate (but not 'lecture') those around me on what Genesis atomizers are, and what they are all about. Only if asked first, though; I'd rather not push the issue onto deaf ears. The response has been wonderful so far, but I think it's a travesty that cotton-based auto-drippers are being labeled gennies because of the fact they have a tank reservoir on the bottom.

The new Vicious Ant Kraken is not a Genesis. It uses Kanger OCC like their Kraken v2.5.

Yup! Just a bigger version of the V2 and therefore just an expensive subtank! Certainly NOT a genisis

Ahhh snap, really? I had one of those Kraken 2.5's, think i sold it within a week... this is indeed disappointing news. I was misled.

I am waiting for a Kraken with it's own rebuildable deck. Right now it's a glorified Subtank but it is very pretty. I actually have 3 of them. They manufactured a tank for Cosmic Innovation called the Quasar Tank and it's nice but too tight a draw for me. I still see the original Kraken in vape shops.

 

[Vaya]

The Quasar IS really nice. I'm just not too into cotton and ended up selling mine.

And, yeah, the aesthetics of the Kraken v2.5 (v2.0 was riddled with some fixable problems, which 2.5 addressed) was what really kept me trying to love it for that initial week. Had no problems finding a buyer, though. Had the black finish and a SS HEMO edition.
