I could install a shopping cart software on my site (Tomatocart, osCommerce, Opencart, etc.), the only downside is my bandwidth (not too much here in Mexico), I have a demo Tomatocart store of when I was planning an e-cig store, it has only demo products (computers): firefly E-Vaporizers: Bienvenido a firefly E-Vaporizers! PM if you think some solution like this could serve the coops and if you need and admin user/pass to check the admin interface.
There are two holes in the main combustion chamber for the post, one is the negative that is .096"w x .125"d that will have an ezloc 0-80 insert pressed into it. The other the positive is pre tapped for 6-32 and the 6-32 nylon screw will be pre-center drilled again by me and included in the non assembled orders. So the 6-32 nylon screw will need to be glued/screwed into the hole and trimmed to a hieght of 1/32" off the floor of the combustion chamber. Then the .5" SS screw and 3/16" SS spacer are screwed into the 6-32 nylon screw until they just protrude one the other side. The the brass piece has its 2 nylon washers glued in place and the nylon spacer slid over the .118" brass center post. And then you align the tapped hole in the brass piece with the .5" SS screw and screw it into the brass.
LOL dont worry I will be doing a video on buid up and tear down.

Would someone mind explaining to me why I should want this? After all it is equilavlent to a years worth of Boge cartos , money wise. Not trying to be a pain, just ignorant of the facts on the device. And don't want to miss the opportunity if this is some thing better than what I am currently doing.Thank you.
The reason you would want this is that you will never need to replace it. Yes it costs a years worth, but the vapor and flavor are better than any carto could hope to do and when you pop a coils after about 3 or 4 months of abuse it only costs you about 1 or 2 cents wotlrth of wire to replace it.
That and it just looks cool

And after a year you can still rebuild it... You can get 75' of Kanthal from ebay for 4.50, that is 600 coils. If you replaced the coil whether it needed it or not every 30 days, your wire would last you 50 years. Plus there is no batting material, very clean taste and holds 3ml of juice.

Well thank you, lorderos and Dan. That is what I expected the reply to be, just wanted it confirmed by someone. I'll go over over and put my name on the list. Thanks again!
600 Cartos is roughly 120 packs and the lowest I've seen them in the U.S. is about $5.99 a pack so that's about $718.00 vs. getting one of these at $71.89 without any dripper top, etc.
The DIY attys are not for everyone but for those that are OCD like me that wants to know exactly what I am vaping it is nice. I've done all kinds of attys, cartos, dual coil, ce2's, etc. and while I prefer the ease of cartos with less leaks and fiddling, I just don't like seeing burnt\scorched filler every time I am done with a carto and I even use a juice tank and get no dry\burnt hits at all while I use it? The savings alone is enough for me but along with being able to customize it with different size tanks as well as being able to drip, not to mention that it isn't that large (TWSS) as other rebuildable attys.
Don't get me wrong, there will be a trial and error period where you have to find your groove if you've never built your own wicks and coils but it doesn't take long and after that it's smooth sailing.
Hope that helps some?
Well put. At first there were a handful of us doing this, but since the popularity of co-ops I think newbies need to realize this and hang in there w/ it.
After that you're rewarded by vaping indepdendence
Yes ED it does. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. And Turbo you also.

To add to all these helpful posts, after you are set up good ready to go, all you will spending on is juice. I've bought three 510 attys, that was around 30 bucks (freedom smoke) then I found the genny thread, made one at work, ordered the kanthal and some mesh for less than the price of the three atomizers, haven't looked back since. I've only been vaping for three months btw so my first week was stock China crap, nothing compares to this, to me anyways.
Anytime man, I am still relatively new to the DIY attys and still learn something new everyday which I enjoy and everyone is more than happy to help which is awesome. But be careful of the wiring as I learned the hard way, it'll poke ya when you're not looking, OUCH (definitely TWSS)
Ok so here are the dimensions for the wick of a G-Tank-US, I am using 400SS and cutting it into 15mm wide strips. I then cut 30mm lengths off my strip so I have a 15mm x 30 mm piece. I Then took a paper clip and straighted it, and then wrapped the mesh piece around it, so it is 1/16" x 30mm long. At this point it is ready for oxidizing.
Oxidizing:
Ok now that it is rolled tight around the paper clip, we need to make the SS mesh so it will not conduct electricity. To do this I use a butane tourch to heat up the SS mesh red hot, and the immerse it in water. Do this 4 times.
Now drip on some juice so the wick is wet and light it on fire, do this 3 times
Now use a regular lighter and just heat up the entire wick and immerse in water, it will turn black. This is the sooting up process. do this three times.
Now you can wrap your heating wire around it. I usually do 4 wrap, gives me 1.8ohms. I then soak with juice and light it on fire again, twice. Then soot it up once with a lighter.
It is ready to install, I have had 100% success doing it this way, with no shorting.

Ahh, nice, I'm use to these dimensions from my Hybrid mini I use to have. The mesh goes a long way w/ these specs!

Hi Lorderos,
Referencing your statement above, highlighted in bold, are you speaking from experience?
Do you already own one of these atomizers?
Did you buy it or did you build it?
I know you were asking of Loreros, but I will answer from my experiance. I have both bought and built genisis attys and I can tell you the flavor is night and day. The SS wick is the cleanest flavor you will get from any non genisis atty/carto. And I, like others have found that you will need to lower the nic content, for some reason it intensifys the nic effect.
Hope that helps from my experiance.
Dan
Shek, I can verify this too, and boldly. I've bought two and built many. Cartos and atties for me are only good for their structural parts. Hands down better vape and a nice clean flavor.
