so i have my first genny and have has some luck with ekowool this week, today i think i have a successful mesh build. now this is an un-modified atty, should the resistance of 34agw change more than .1 ohms between duty cycles. and secondly should i be using something bigger as far as coil, i am thinking of picking up some 32 at the closest mod shop. and for clarification i am using this on a vamo as i havent gotten my first mech yet. thats in the vape budget for next month though :D

I'd go ahead and pick up some 30g. 32 and 34 are too high resistance for any decent genesis wraps. Genesis atomizers only really shine at sub-ohm levels (imho). I tend to use 26 or 28 kanthal or .8 ribbon wire for my genny builds and run gennys pretty much exclusively in sub-ohm ranges on mech mods. Gotta make sure you have a wick that can keep up with the heat on SLR builds. My current favorite build is on an AGA-T2. Its a 3/4 wrap of the .8 ribbon kanthal on 325 mesh with a skinny tube wick at about 0.5 ohms. Flavor, response time, and vapor are outstanding. Gotta do the genny tilt with it or it runs out of liq pretty damn quick though.

YMMV

yr talking of .8 and .5 but since he's using a vamo he can't go below 1.2 so 32 awg is just fine

I found that with an Aga on a Vamo, resistance would show quite a bit higher between vapes than during vape sessions. I don't attribute this to lose coil post contact as I've sorted those out. It could often show up to an ohm higher if left alone for a while. Just a quick press of the button, and it's where it should be.

No idea why, just saying.
