Genesis Phoenix... :D

[j4mmin42]

So, my first genesis-style system came in today (the DUD), as well as my first Phoenix. Luckily I've had a bit of practice rebuilding coils for the Novas I was running- apparently, I must be pretty good at it, because I have yet to mess up a single coil. Anyway, I loved the setup on the Dud so much after my first build- it ended up being way easier to build than I thought it would be! It ran a little cool, so I took out a single wrap- but I had no hot spots, no shorts, NOTHING... just pure vaping pleasure:



...And even though my Phoenix was vaping perfectly, I thought, "I have this little piece of stainless scrap oxidized and ready to play...why not convert the Phoenix?"

So I did:



I couldn't find a tutorial on a vertical-wick stainless-mesh Phoenix setup, but again, it was fairly easy to do with a few small tools to move the coils around. I used the drill-bit method, then the rolling-paper method- and I had to kind of maneuver the top coil around the mesh a bit as it was heating up red-hot, even with juice on it. Now, it's functioning perfectly! Edit: To give me some room to maneuver the air-hole around on the phoenix clone, I added an o-ring from a DCT (which I might never use again, lol). It gives me a lot of room to play around with airflow.

I hope all of this success today means that it will always go this smoothly...

Check out my blog @ www.ninjavapes.com to see the rest of my first thoughts on these two units, along with some more helpful tips and tricks when attempting you own builds.

Anyone else out there experimenting with vertical-coil mesh setups on the Phoenix clones?

It's the only way I use a Phoenix. It makes the flavor super clean and makes it really easy to change flavors

Sweet pics, I have done it too and is very clean. I currently have a Vertical coil using Hildicat's technique, with cotton wick. Works beautiful. Nice pics guys, love to see beasties!

Ah, I think I see a better way to make the top coil connection- thanks for that! The way I did it, I had to lean the coil over to keep the length of the leads down. After a few days on this one, it's really starting to shine- I haven't had one problem yet, just clean, hard hits and great taste

Actually, there is a in-depth tutorial: Reinventing the Phoenix Rebuildable Atomizer « pinoyvaper

That's all the setup I use. I replaced the original coil once I got Phoenix last month.

Ah yeah, looks like the exact same method we use, except in my case, I just use the leftover from the DUD build, lol- but that is good info to have! thanks for the link!!

Hah, I did the exact same thing actually. I used the leftover piece of wick I cut off my DUD mesh and put it in my Phoenix. Worked like a charm!
