Dang bro, you going into the atty factory biz? Did you get any different taste with the genesis and SS wick, compared to the silica wick?

 

[Jensb]

oh, yes. the taste of the mesh is awesome. I didnt touched any of my other attys since i have my genesis attys running.
I have at this time 4 genesis running and casted parts for some more. So if any get broken i just make new. Cheap and easy.

What are you using for the casting? I was think of going this route myself instead of using a lathe.

Jensb,
Please explain something specific, such as the difference in taste is normal to attys.

I wish I had the time and $$ to make some Genesis attys!!

 

[Willriker]

very nice man, what material are you casting with? I do not recognize it.

What is the I.D. of the tube for this cap?
And back to the taste thingy, As you know I wasn't so pleased with the vapor that I got with tea bag for a wick. it was to thick (heavy, wet) I can't describe it to well,,, but I kinda liked the taste but not the wetness. I couldn't stop having to clear my throat and was coughing crap out of my lungs. (not like the morning hacking with analogs) but it was so heavy that I was somewhat short winded. The inside of the lexan tube that I had on top would just get dripping wet with the vapor after only 4 or 5 hits, and I know my lungs were too.

Jensb, Great looking stuff! Also curious to know what your using to cast the pieces with. Thanks!!

 

[theECB]

One more thing, can you explain what an IC contact is? Also, where might I find these IC contacts at?

 

[pseudus]

+1 Casting material??????

 

[asdaq]

The material is Stewalin, like plaster but has a high heat tolerance, is non toxic and is odorless. For me, under 5 Euros for a Kg, but 15 more for shipping

 

[Willriker]

I tought it was a plaster type thing from what it looked like as it met with one of those metal contacts in your photos but i wasnt sure. Thank you for responding.

I was thinking of plaster but was worried about it cracking and crumbling into my juice. Has this been a problem for you? If not i might try this technique out.

Will, it isn't mine, look left

Oh No! Ebay here I come...
I wished I had spent my younger years in Europe instead of the far east. You guys are terrific! Thanks!

.... oops ...

What are you using for a mold? I do not see a parting line. Sorry, I always look for mold lines, gates and ejector pin markings.

Jensb,

Bumping this question back up for an answer.

hi all
sorry for the late answer. i had so much work the last days.
I´m very happy for all the answers and questions that i got. i try now to answer all.

- the taste of the genesis is very awesome. it taste much smoother and cleaner as on normal attys.
I used the last time only my own plugs with glas fiber where the taste is also very nice.
Since the last days i didnt touched any of my plugs again because the taste of a genesis is much better. I tried yesterday a genesis and a plug with the same liquid over a whole day and i have to say that i prefer the genesis.
You all have to try it. is is very very good.

The negative thing about the genesis system is that it is trial and error. I spend many hours to find the right ammount of mesh and kanthal. Yesterday i had problems with some of my genesis where i didnt got any liquid up to the coil.
After arround 50 new coils and help from friends i found what was wrong and solved the problem.
You have to be carefull that you dont make the mesh to strong and not to loose.
This is really a problem and i sometimes get headache due to this, but once it is right you love the taste and vapor and everything is forgotten

For casting i first make a prototype with something.
Then i cast a negative form with 2 component silicone.
When this is done i just use a stuff called "stewalin" and pour this into my negative forms. This way you are a little chinese and can make many parts in short time.
It is important that stewalin need some thick walls. If you have walls with 1-2mm it can happen that it cracks. So just use it on easy stuff..

hope you all understand my english. I tried the best to explain.
My Swedish and German is better

Cheers all
Jens

Your english is perfect. Thanks for the information on rolling the mesh. I'm having the same problem.
Is it necessary to have a stainless steel tube around the mesh in the atty?
Thanks
