Just received the Arrow Genny a few days ago, figured I'd give you a quick thoughts/review on it as there is not a lot of info about it.
First of all, I bought this atomizer to be a device I could throw on top of a 14500 mod and take with me on the go. The only device that currently fits this bill is the GP Spheroid. Not that there's anything wrong with the Spheroid, but I figured it would be cool to have a genesis device on the go.
It's not bad, its a nice genny, of course it's claim to fame is that it won't leak. The idea is that you close the drip tip, and then close the body (by twisting both) and you can lay it any which way with no leaks.
they havn't lied, it doesn't leak, but a few things...
1. the drip tip is easy to close and open because of the markings on the tip and body, but the body doesn't have the same markings. This makes it extremely difficult to know when it's open/closed, especially while driving. I don't know why they didn't put some type of markings on the glass tank and boddy like they did on the tip. The solution here is to make a small mark with a sharpie marker when it's open spanning the tank and body. Don't know why I have to do this on a $140 device. The only way to see that it's open/closed is to look at the 1mm air holes to see if you can see through or not, more difficult than it sounds with shadows etc... plus the tank and seal are good enough that it can be difficult to spin. I usually end up taking the tank off (praying there's no juice left in the body to spill) seeing the wholes and then putting it back on. This kind of defeats the purpose of the tank... Again, a sharpie will fix this, but It's hard to bring yourself to do this with such a nice piece.
2. I bough this device to have a genesis style atty that can be pocketable... it wasn't to replace my GP Spheroid, but to complement it at times when I wanted something different... Again, it doesn't leak, but I wouldn't pocket it. I can't say that this would happen because I havn't tried it, but the top tank section can be removed by pulling it off (just a seal), it's a tight seal, but just a seal. If this was in my jeans and I bent over, it would probably push the cap off, and probably wreck the SS wick and setup in the tank. I feel safe with this device in a suit pocket, but not in pant pockets.
These are pretty much my only gripes with the unit. It is a nice unit, although the only thing it really has going for it is that it can be closed so that it doesn't leak. That's a pretty good option, but paired with the fact that the cap could be removed easily, it kind of counter defeats the locking/no leak mechanism.
This device has a great idea... (no leak genny), but it misses on a few key points.
My Recommendations,
If this device had threaded connectors and O Rings instead of just O Ring seals it would greatly improve this device. Firstly it would prevent me from worrying if this will come apart in my pocket, and it would make the tank section (juice tank) easier to clean than trying to pry apart the seals.
Here's a link to the Arrow Genesis at eonvapes in Canada.
They are the only place I could find that sells it, which is ok. They where good to deal with, and shipped it fast.
