Anyone tried the COV Gen 2?

[xsaqzw]

I've been looking into getting a rebuildable genesis type atty for awhile now and finally took the plunge last night. I meant to order the AGA-T2 from COV, but accidentally placed the COV Gen 2 into my cart and order it instead. It's already shipped out so I can't really modify my order now.

This will be my first forte into the rebuild-able world, but I think I have a good idea on how to make the wicks/coils.

Can anyone give some input on the Gen 2 vs. the AGA-T2? I just want to make sure I didn't get a super crappy clone, as I have heard many good things about the AGA-T2.

never tried one but its a nice looking atty, the shot with the cover off looks nice and easy to work on. may have to try one myself. 4ml quartz tube and surgical steel. looks kinda like a z-atty clone, and should vape great. think i might get one too for 25 bucks.

I have 1. They are plated not SS. They hold maybe 3 mls. The center post is at least 2mm too short. OP, if you need help setting it up when the time comes PM me. I am an expert and more than willing to help.

I thought you were talking about the COV Gen II which was a DiD clone, went to look just to be sure. These are quite a bit different, haven't seen these before. They do look like they'd be easy to setup.

edit: The center post does look a little on the short side. Also the negative screw isn't slotted or knurled. Looks like it could be hard to get tight.

These are ZAU clones...

I know. I should of clarified. I didnt mean to contradict you.

lol its all good, i can only trust the supplier knows what hes listing. but i more then believe you as having experience with metal working i was wondering how they got that pretty coating to stick to surgical stainless and charge only 25.
before you chimed in i was going to email them and ask if they are sure the listing is correct cause if it is SS its a nice cheapo

Looks like a nice entry level genesis! Much better than the COV Gen 1 I started out on, which was just a DID clone.

I don't trust that single o-ring on such a shallow positioning.

Looks like if you so much as flicked it, the top would fly off.

On mine the o ring is actually too large. So the cap wont seat when pushed down. It must be twisted and pushed until is squashes the o ring. It keeps the cap on solid.

aaaand it's a piece of .....

It's all chrome plated brass and the tube is poly.

That and I can't get it to ground. There's an o-ring that won't sit right no matter what I do, and it's blocking the ground connection. Moving it doesn't help, either.

Thanks for the junk, Bruce.

Bruce has said on live web chats that he will 100% honor any issues like this. Money back or new item. Hit him up.

I was able to fix the connection using an old AGA parts kit I bought way back. I cut down an AGA center post and put it in place of the GEN II's.

It's running now, all coils are a'glow... sucks I had to modify it to get it running but I'm really liking the size.

I just broke my AGA +, Will the glass tank from the AGA fit on the Gen II? & Does anyone know the wick hole size on the Gen II ??? Thinking about ordering one to modify if the measurements add up Thanks

If you hurry up, you can get in on the co-op. I will be getting one hopefully within a month and will be able to tell you if the tank from the AGA-T+ will fit it.
