How do you like the Sat in genera?. I was waffling between that and the BF-99. I'm mostly happy with the BF-99. Just wish the air hole was at least 1.8 - 2mm. Or that they had two.

No one I asked had much to say on either of them other than that the Sat blew like a kayfun air-wise.

LOVE my Sat's but a friend opened up the air for me.

I had to press fit my Zero sleeve.

My screen is perfect, but also have the resistance reading problem. The 1.2ohm coil is reading 1.0ohm. I'm running the SqR on it at only 15W. I would normally be running it around 17W. So I had some experimenting to do to find my sweet spot with that mod/atty combo.

Got my Orchidv3 today. So far no leaking. I put the top fill cap from my kayfun on it.

Well, I guess Nailz was just the lucky SOB who didn't have to do any work. All of those sleeves should be ready to wear, but at least its not hard to press them.

On the other forums folks are saying the same as you, resistance reads .2 below their other devices .. do you have an ohm meter? That would be the best way to tell which is device is most accurate.

That is the one thing that I wish this SAT had, better air flow. Its not bad the way it is, and I was surprised at how much vapor I get in spite of the tiny air holes, but I would prefer a more open draw. That is why the Kraken is still my favorite Genesis .. I think the Origen Genesis has the same potential though.

My Zero arrived today also along with 2 black sleeves and no grey like I ordered :(

I've tried the Heron, like it, Squape Reloaded, using that now, a Kayfun lite V2, so so and a Lancia, not bad. I'm sticking with the Squape Reloaded for now because its full of a very good strawberry milkshake e-liquid I enjoy ;l

SAT has less air flow than my Kayfun's .. I love the way it looks, but I do feel like I have had better Gennies. Its not bad, but nothing I would write home about. I know that Drifter and Tamipac like it a lot. The SAT would be my fourth Gennie, and the Origen Genesis is in transit. I am expecting to like that one more due to the more open air flow, but we will see.

My review of the SAT22 will publish on Monday, so you can see my detailed thoughts on it. :)

    I was wanting the BF-99 too, until I saw the Origen Genesis V2. 2 x 1.2 - 2.5mm for duals and 2 x 1.2mm stacked for single. Builds like a Veritas. I haven't received it yet, but I'm hoping it's just like the dripper but with a 4ml drip well. But daggummit, I'm sure I'm gonna want a new mod to go with it once it gets here. :grr: :laugh:

    Yep, checked it with the ohm meter and DMM. Its a 1.2ohm coil. So being off by 0.2 ohm is pretty bad. My cheap hana clones read about 0.1 ohm high, but they cost less than half what the Zero does. Of course we are talking about a big design difference, too. But, the Zero may become a DNA40 sooner rather than later.

    I recommend starting with lower power than you normally would and working your way up. That way you don't get burnt taste.

    For those of you who bought the "authentic/OEM Aqua" you should go visit Footoon's FB page. They say there is no way that FT could have received these Aqua's from a Chinese OEM Factory because their Aqua is made in Korea, not China. The fanboi's on FT are really drinking the kool aid because they are all ranting about how Footoon outsourced to China, yet that is not the truth .. but again, some people seem to have a vested interest in believing things that are not true because it makes them feel better about their purchase.

    So either FT is lying, or the Chinese supplier that they received them from is lying, either way the whole thing is a lie. I am sorry but there is no way that any one can convince me that these came out of the same factory when said factory couldn't even produce the two cheapest aspects of the authentic device, which are the o rings and the brass hybrid bolt. Like really? :facepalm: Out sourcing to China does in fact happen, but this is not one of those instances. And FT doesn't need to engage in this type of hustle because they are in fact the #1 Chinese reseller of electronic cigarette products ... BS not required.

    Awesome! Your review coupled with one other is what made me get the Wotofo ZNA!

    Like I said, I like the BF-99, and I kinda feel like a dodged the bullet on the Sat. I'm gonna look into drilling out the air hole. There's enough space to take it up to 1.8mm. Now I've got my eye on the Infinite Orchid, but I'm gonna wait until I get consistent with building on the BF-99 which is awesome and does not leak unless you turn it upside down. (Why yes I am a dork at times. Whyever do you ask? ;) )

    Well now you and Cindy have me thinking I need a BF-99 :unsure:

    It's a cool little Genny. A little different from all the other gennies in how it's built, which I like. Nicely styled too. Just can't afford to keep buying all these toppers, because that in turn makes me wanna buy more mods, and it's just never gonna end! :grr: :laugh:

    Everyone here wants to believe it, too, lol! I don't care what it is. I just want mine to look as good as the pics and work well.

    But, why is FT lying about it when they sell primarily clones anyway? It appears to be worth $35. Why not call it a clone like the other 2? Doing that could cost them customers, which is a poor business plan. Maybe they don't care with the number of new vapers constantly coming on the scene.

    You were right again Nikki!!!! I really like the Heron on the Zero. It's still quite harsh compared to what I'm used to but we'll see in a few days.

    Turn it down, lol!

    I do like it. I just have to remember to start at a lower power setting than I normally would. Its a great match for the SqR. They are both kind of stout and hefty :)

    You just reminded me that I have to rebuild my Squape .. I think it has a short, all of my devices are weirding out with it. But I rebuilt the Rose today for the first time since I did the first build, and it put me over the edge. I'm done :laugh:

    Now that I have 30w to play with and a pair of VTC4's for my mods, I'm all about the juice and what ever give me the best flavor. Dripping with the juice tank UNDER the deck is the bestest. Though I'm still eyeing the Orchid and the Dome. I've heard mix reports on both. I like to keep my tanks short 2-2.5ml. Otherwise I get tired of the same flavor.
