Very nice! I disagree about the fuse, just make sure your using safe batteries, I only use sony VTC5 batteries on my mech when running a genesis because my builds are prone to occasional shorts. On my dripper, i'll happily run AW IMR batteries if my ohms are above .8 (IMR's are safe to .7 or .8 ohms?)
You might want to pick up an RSST or Pyrex RSST for practice on the genesis. The RSST has insulated wick holes, meaning that the mesh can't ground to the wick hole, unlike most genesis atomizers, I believe the Kraken is included in this. RSST also has an "insulated" tank, both versions. It's plastic all the way around on the original, and has a rubber bottom on the Pyrex version.
I prefer to microcoil genesis attys. I used my Pyrex RSST EXCLUSIVELY for a few months when I still owned my Provari. Just sold it yesterday, kind of sad, but I had to allow my vape budget hands (and my wife) to let me buy a REO.
Anyway, the microcoil distributes the heat on the mesh wicks alot better than a standard coil. I feel like standard coils, 3/4, 5/6 wraps inherently create hot spots where the wire touches the wick, even though they're glowing evenly. The microcoil vaped better by a margin of leaps and bounds for me. I preferred a 28 gauge build, wrapped around a 1/8" drill bit, 9 or 10 times. Ohms came out at 2.4 and worked fantastic on the Provari at 5.3-6 volts. You could achieve similar results by doing the same amount of wraps with 26 gauge, I think that's closer to 1.5 ohms. 26 gauge is tough stuff, it won't pop easily, but if a short happens, I suppose it's riskier battery wise.
I don't see anybody microcoiling genesis atomizers, maybe I'm unique. My current genesis is a clone of the Dome by atmomixani. Very nice, but HUGE. I've sort of grown out of the genesis attys. They are challenging to build and rewarding, which I like. It feels really good to have a kick .... vape from a genesis and know that your own hands produced it. I've been more exclusive to drippers since I got my mechanical about a week ago.
I did a build just now on my Trident V2 where I wrapped #400 SS mesh around a length of 28 gauge wire, thus making the mesh part of the coil. Too lazy to take pictures at the moment, I worked at 5am, and have little motivation for much. Came out to .82 ohms and is truly a dream. I didn't count the wraps, but I think it's a 6 or 7 wrap microcoil then threaded cotton inside. The result is the clean, crisp flavor provided by steel mesh, combined with the density produced by cotton. If you have a lot of spare time, watch some of RipTrippers videos on youtube. He is a guru to say the least.
Sorry guys for the lengthy post. I like to share =]
Still though, as everyone else has said, a concrete understanding of battery safety and ohms laws is the ultimate prerequisite before you even THINK about trying a build on a mechanical. Once you understand it, its a cinch, its second nature. But put forth the effort, so you can maximize your enjoyment, and have the capacity to educate others later on, because this forum exists solely for the purpose of sharing knowledge. And that's why it's awesome
