    ZAP wrapping and general help

    Can you explain in more detail what's not satisfying? Chances are you have a short somewhere but more detail can help pinpoint your problem.

    Orion V2 roll call

    I rinse my tank out upside down every night, so I don't get too much blackening of the nuts/washers. Keeps things clean.

    Orion V2 roll call

    That came directly from Les. He said the 12mm could be 10/11mm, but the the CS was most important. Said he was using 12mmx1.5mm CS.

    Stormys vapor cellar Rebuildable Genesis Atomizer

    That's the Chinese 'dud' (DID copy), etc. that a lot of vendors are carrying. There are tons of threads about these; search here for 'dud' or the like. Be on the lookout as there are many more coming from China before long.

    All my mods part1

    Yes, I always pay homage to 'raidy', w/o him we wouldn't have this wonderful atty. I'm sure he's not happy w/ all these Genisis on the market though...

    Best SS Mesh for VG 270, 325, 400, 500, ???

    The old theory was the lower mesh counts worked better for VG; wrong! A thick, tightly wrapped 500 mesh wick wicks better.

    genesis type attys, question about the oxidation

    Yes, we're discussing this in another thread. Heat/gunk do contribute, and a short will definitely turn it darker quicker. Chain vaping can as well. There are many factors w/ heat being the most contributing I believe. What are the non sweet tobaccos you speak of? I'm always on the...

    Black oxidization from ss mesh?

    Doing well 'zoi', thanks for asking. I mostly hide out in the modders forum, or ones that deal w/ rebuildables. BTW, I agree on your above statement that various things contribute to the darkening, and see 'bj43's point below. I do see a little stream of backwash coming off the wick, but the...

    Black oxidization from ss mesh?

    Bingo. I posed the question on another forum on why our juice turns dark so we delved into it. We found heat is the culprit. If I don't chain vape I find my juice stays relatively clear.

    First impression of the Orion V2.1 (5/64th modded air hole)

    Nice vapor, I'm not into huge clouds but that's impressive. Mine's all stock. I also use a 3/4, 32g kanthal wrap. I've had mine a few months or so and love it too. I believe the flavor is so good because the air chamber inside the cap is small. I used the third o-ring for a while and...

    Genesis atomizers and nicotine content...

    You know, I hear this all the time, but I don't get it. The flavor is stronger in a Genisis but I don't feel the need to lower my nic. I've been vaping 18mg for almost three years and yes, even chain vape that in a Genisis.

    coil wraps and mechanical mods

    While I don't have a mechanical mod, here are some good safety tips: 1) Never stack batteries 2) Use IMR batteries 3) Know the resistance per ohm/inch of the different kanthal gauges. I never like going very far below 1.5ohms myself. 4) Always test w/ a meter before firing.

    12mm w/ a 1.5mm cross section is what Les uses.

    Genesis where to buy

    Yes, there are so many to choose from now it's mind numbing. If you narrow down your specs that can help, ie. draw you want (airy, tight), bottom or top fed (top fed has coil on bottom like the LV, vape is cooler), 510 connection or Hybrid (all in one), etc. Now w/ the Chinese copying there...

    Are you one of the designers of the NGP? If so, what mesh/kanthal are supplied?

    Orion V2 roll call

    @ 'evil': Stock air hole is 1mm @ 'vapor': Oh no... hate to hear that. I'd contact 'uriddle', he had success w/ cleaning his. You may or may not but it's worth a shot.

    Looking for warmer Vapor

    Yeah, it really depends on your model. If it's a top fed atty (coil on bottom) you probably won't get the warmth you crave. If it's a bottom fed you can, more so w/ certain atty's than others.

    Quick question on Genesis style attys

    Good question, could be a wicking issue perhaps. A dry coil will glow, so if the juice isn't getting delivered, yes. By your description I'd say it's due to this. How long is your 'long pull'? BTW, people who like long draws and super wicking are loving a thick, tightly rolled 500 mesh wick...
