Genesis Line V1 mesh insulator?

[DevilFishPhil]

So I just got a Genesis Line (V1 I believe, the one with the screws instead of the poles), and while futilely attempting to build a decent coil I popped the plastic insulator, where the mesh is inserted, into the hole. After several attempts at getting it back out it completely tore and it's still stuck in there.

1. Is there any way to further disassemble the Genesis Line so I can get the shreds out? Does it matter?
2. Any ideas on what I can use to replace it?

Never heard of a line with screws or a mesh insulator, unless it is a mod. Original lines V1 and V2 use silver wire posts and only depend on oxidation for insulation.

Genesis LV I believe it's called - I just figured the "L" stood for "line" My mistake

This is what a Line looks like. No screws and no insulation for the coil.

Ahh so I definitely was wrong - now I'm sure it's the Genesis LV.

So if you can see that tiny little hole in the center where the wick would normally sit, there used to be a plastic/rubber casing, which I presume was to prevent the wick from touching the metal and cause a short, would I be correct in assuming that if the wick is properly oxidized I don't have to worry about shorting?

In practice no need in insulator for your mesh wick. And don't worry if the hole is big enough. Just use the atomizer as is.

Thanks! Now I just need to practice my coil making abilities and I'll give it a go

Have never seen your model before, but as slimest said you do not need an insulator for the wick, proper oxidizing will prevent shorts to the metal.
