The testing goes on… It would be interesting how it compares to G-Tank.
Even though these two devices are similar in size, both have tanks, both use SS mesh and the logical thing to expect would be for both of them to perform the same. Well… the reality is quite different.
First off, we have tested G-Tank. And we've tested it A LOT. Eyebrook and some other users can testify to this, they've been participating in our heated discussions over it. With all kinds of setups of wick and kanthal, wider meshes, longer wicks, shorter wicks, thicker wicks with different meshes, ridiculous wraps of kanthal etc... It's very claustrofobic in that G-Tank combustion chamber, and due to the very very thin SS wick that has to be used - the best thing we ended up with was either a lot of vapor but no taste, or something in between with moderate TH and thin aroma, which was neither famous Genesis taste or A2 smoke power. Of course, I paid for it and I badly wanted it to work. Then other problems started. :
The brass bottom connector part would get stuck, the center post of 510 connector would get pushed in, then some other two parts would get fused together and were impossible to pry them open with bare fingers… Frustrating. I've had my pair of pliers on that G-Tank more then on all the housework I've done in past few years at home with them.
Line Genesis is a bit slimmer and shorter than G-Tank and thus weighing less. There's no detachable brass connector with clumsy pin that drops out of it's post. There are only two moving parts if you count out the tank plug (the windowed tank part and the atomizer cap with driptip). The 510 threading is standard and worked fine on more than 10 different battery mods (including GGTS, Alpha, Black Pearl, E-Power, Devil's Marble, Aurora, Piccolo, Black Life etc…). The electrode posts are wide enough apart and wick hole is designed for a proper, wider, genesis style SS wick which doesn't hinder the flow of liquid. That fact alone I bet is responsible for such a sweet and rich aroma this thing produces. It's simply amazing. I vape twice as much these last few days, just so I could try out the next liquid and be baffled by it's taste using Line.
Something else here also begs for attention… It seems it's very hard to mess up your wick&kantal set up. It even worked with some strange combinations of wraps and odd wick dimensions - the vapor surges out of it in mouthfuls. I like it that way
To conclude this… These two devices may look similar, but functionality-wise they're miles and miles apart. Too bad, because G-Tank is also beautifully engineered and the machinist craftsmanship is exquisite – but what good is that for when you don't get your moneys worth out of it. On the other hand, this Line Genesis is showing great results beside it's good looks! I hoped it would perform well, but this thing caught me by a surprise. It's that good.
