Right now my favorite is the Pyrex RSST, as it's really the only one I've used for any period of time. (Though I just received a D20 DID and am excited to get it setup) Been using it since midsummer.

Run them on a (mostly) brass MMV Nanos.

Tried several kayfun style tanks but I'm sold on the genesis style atomizer. Love the flavor, vapor production and how long the wicks and coils last between needing to be replaced.

The Sat22 and Pulse are two others that I've wanted to try, but are much more difficult to track down (in clone or original form).

Focalecig has Sat22 clones. Only issue is they come with a plastic tank instead of the advertised glass tank. I ordered pyrex sections for mine. ... and you may want to sand down the top caps' inner edge so it won't eat its o-rings.

Not too happy about buying clone of good atties... but there's no way I'd get my hands on an original anyway.

One thing to consider with Gennys - how is the top cap secured?
If you are going to carry it around, a screw on top is a huge deal.
If not, make sure that its as secure as the Kraken's top cap.
When you've got a genny in your pocket, and the top cap has come off for a half hour or so before you notice, you are in for a bad time.

My favorite genesis was the AL-1 by vapinaze. Sadly it does not perform well anymore. The aluminum body just doesn't stand up over time. It was my go to device for about a year though. I have been trying to find a genesis for a while that I could use a cotton build in like the AL-1. I think that the origin V2 will be my next purchase reviews look promising.

Aaahhh cotton.
If you wants to really subohm, and get genesis taste, dual wicked SS mesh is the way.
I run my Kraken at .3 or so all the time. No dry hits, as many pulls as I care to take.
Just runs through juice like you spilt the bottle.

The thing is, single wick gennys built around an ohm throw big ole clouds too.
Way more vapor than any other atty at an ohm.

Not knocking your way, you understand. Just that when I finally got SS down, I saw the light.

my favorite genny was always the gmkf20. I love the way the whole thing is one piece of solid stainless steel, from 510 to deck, everything fits together very snug with the o rings, just pop the cap off and slide the tank glass off to rinse it out in seconds. the cap fits so snug that I took one of the 2 o rings off and it's still more than tight enough. it's only 20 mm so it's kind of sleek and I use it on the matching 20 mm f20 mod, this is it in 18500 but I also have the 350 & 650 tubes.

this things got several holes in the deck you can do all kinds of builds but I'm just using a single coil. came with a 1.2 airhole but I drilled it to a 2.0 airhole. vapes nice thick chewy sweet clouds with a 1.4 ohm coil wicked with ss mesh. only reason I don't carry it more is because sometimes of course it leaks. I thought to some day make an air control ring for it to close it off in my pocket



that was my favorite genny but it's been dethroned for me by the wizards wand. titanium with a screw on cap and air flow control. it's just built for a single coil and the deck is awesome, it's got a slight well to it and the single fill hole has a post with a flap that you can adjust from full open to partially or completely closed, it's a built in adjustable tank vent. I drilled this one to 2 mm airhole too but then of course it can be adjusted down from there but I mostly run it wide open. the posts are awesome on this thing, a real pleasure to build, it's 21 mm and light as a feather. I mean really really light, on a titanium wizard evolved II in the same 18500 it feels almost half as heavy as the SS mod next to it.

I have to withdraw - shout in, in suppose - my plug for the Z-Atty.
Tonight, both of my Z-Attys - the Pro, and the Standard lost their center pin.
Center pin depression was a known problem, but seein that I had two, and they see regular ( at least 2-3 days a week for a good 6 months, and about once a week for the last 7 months or so) use and I didnt have the problem.
So I figured it was a case of the internet catching all of the problems and none of the successes.
This has happened to me with other Gennys. I wonder if its a thing with them.

BOTH OF THEM at once!! Grrrrrrr

I hope that there is a fix.

Off to the Zen forums go I. Wish me luck
