    Zen~ Family Reunion

    The screw wasn't tightening enough to clamp down on the positive lead. Also, the spacer below the screw was unscrewing from the center post before the top screw, and that's been a nightmare as well. I was finally able to get the screw to clamp the lead down, but as soon as I need to change the...

    Zen~ Family Reunion

    Got my mini in today! The positive screw wouldn't tighten properly, but I was able to make it work a bit better. Also, it came with a scratch across the front of it, right below the "Zen" logo... Anyway, happy to be vaping it- it works like a champ.

    Did Clone Tutorial (genesis style)

    Any chance we could see a pic or two? That would help a lot. My Zen is out for delivery... :D

    Can you weigh in with your opinion here...

    I would agree here, especially if you're just starting out, that it's a really great idea to have a VV device with ohms readings built into it- it will save you a lot of hassles when trying to get your coils set up properly. If you're more experienced, a mechanical mod without VV will work for...

    Did Clone Tutorial (genesis style)

    A 5/6 wrap should be somewhere in the mid 2's- not anywhere close to 1.6 ohms. It sounds like you're shorting it out somewhere. Try going down to a 3/4 wrap at about 3.5-4 volts. Fewer wraps means fewer coils to short out/adjust.

    question on mesh

    It really depends how a.r. you want to be about it- I do the whole thing, but mostly work on oxidizing the portion from where it sits in the coil base to the top above where the coil sits. Also, be sure to hit the very bottom end of it if you plan on letting it touch the bottom of the tank.

    Coil Resistance Keeps Fluctuating

    How are you liking the RBA's? ready to give up standard tanks yet? :) If not yet, you will be soon... :evil:

    Griffin clone help

    No, I would say the intensity you get with genesis systems is similar. The difference in flavor with cartos is due to the path that the air takes through the cartomizer, and the best way I can describe that difference is that you get flavors from your juice that range from the "aroma" of it-...

    Coil Resistance Keeps Fluctuating

    That sounds about right to me. The positive screw can be a pain to get right, because sometimes the kanthal will wrap around the threads in the center post and prevent the top screw from tightening all the way. I just changed out one of my AGA's and had the same thing happen, but it's a quick fix.

    Did Clone Tutorial (genesis style)

    But then it won't be a genesis anymore... ;) Props on drilling out a DUD without ruining it- I've heard nothing but horror stories about people attempting to do the same thing, and destroying their coil base at the same time.

    getting frustrated:(

    When I use this method on my Phoenixes, I use a drill bit that is just a bit bigger than the mesh I am going to roll. Also, when I oxidize the mesh, I quench it after every burn, as this makes it more "springy"- the reason that helps is that in a pinch, if you accidentally roll a piece of mesh...

    getting frustrated:(

    Drill bit method is great. I see a lot of great tips in some of the other posts, too :) When you get a top-coil hotspot like the one you're describing OP, it's a very specific problem- and the fix for it CAN mean *adjusting* your wick, but you should only rarely have to actually trash your...

    Griffin clone help

    ...Or maybe there's just not enough bacon flavor for your taste, perhaps? :) With the right set-up, you'll be able to close the gap. Carto's will still be an altogether different vape, but then again, they're made by underpaid workers out of unknown materials, halfway around the world, while...

    Wick Problems with the DID Clone

    There's your problem- I haven't been to the next page yet to see if anyone commented on it, but that center post has been completely sucked into your silicone grommet. You may have to swap it out- and next time, don't over-tighten it! You want that center post to be in line with the outer...

    Actually wondered the same thing- did you oversell at all?

    Yeah, looks like I have to make a choice- either the dragon or my mini zen will be finding a new owner soon... :)
