A project is not an easy task. At first there is mainly an idea. Than this idea has to go into a product. You estimate a time and suddenly all goes wrong. Turner needs longer, quality is bad, quality of the second delivery is more worse, change the turner, a member has not time due to heavy workload and so on. Than all the estimates are in the dust bin.

The reason for the Kronos delay is very simple: The delivered quality from the CNC turner was not acceptable and the box was really heavy. With a pressure mould the thickness of a box walls can be much thinner than with CNC.
Therefore we decided to make a pressure mould, which is expensive and needs a long time. We are still in the mould making process. When the mould is ready I can make an reliable estimate because the electronic is ready.

The Genisis are all with me. I "just" need to pack the orders and ship them. This will be all done in the near future.
. Thanks Uwe!

Sure sounds like you are complaining… in a passive-aggressive sort of way. And clearly you don't appreciate that it's not just the work involved - it's the frustration and delay from not getting exactly what you asked for because a material you used in the prototype just didn't work out in the production run, or because the machinist didn't follow your spec.

Not complaining...you're just reading the words I write in an annoyed tone since you perceive my statements as complaints.

And I have no problem waiting...I was simply sympathized with another member's post...and co-op's body guards came out.

Today I recieved a Gold Plated Genisis from inTaste with a drip tip. It screws in perfectly on the WBG and inTaste Genisis.
Well am not sure which I like more the screw in or just push in with the adapter.
Time will tell if I am getting to lazy to screw a drip tip in and out.
Tried to upload pic but that did not work. Will try later from the computer that should work.
With the iPad I still have some problems and could not figure out how to upload pictures :facepalm:

Thinking about to order 1 or 2 more from the other tips at inTaste.

I just picked up my Genisis from the post office.
Looks awesome!
The finish is great.
All the threads are good maybe a little too tight but good.
I'd like the draw to be a little easier. Is the air inlet easy to drill out?

The cap for the bottle fell out right away, so I replaced the original cap with one from my extras.
I then changed the cap setup to fit better.
Instead of cutting a notch on both sides, I made a small notch on one side just big enough to get the cap to fit in. Then I used my round mini file and filed groves to match the air holes. Now the bottle screws in much better and once the bottle is in the cap doesn't move.

Now I'm :vapor::vapor::vapor: away...

Ok here goes another bad example of how not to take pictures. Sorry but that is the best I can do.

As already said the gold plated ss tip from inTaste fits perfect. No wiggle/waggel

I have seen today they now have them as ss-crome plated and ss-blue something plated.
They also have plastic ones which also look nice but I don’t know how they fit.

Update regarding the Mouthpiece from inTaste.
Today I found out that the what I referred to as "Plastic" are actualy made from Acrylic the same as Pipe mouthpieces.
The fitting is the same as the ss ones.

@Deatite.
mine do that too sometimes. More when I vape it real hot. As far as I know there is some condesation going on.
It can also be that there is too much liquid flow. Then pinch as in the instruciton described a little above the kantal
and also check your wick that it is not to small on the bottle side.
Funny thing for me it is only with one juice where it happens more. That juice contains TE and clogs up pretty fast and thats when it gets hot with liquid condestation.

Not on this wick yet, but I will If I find myself taking it apart regularly. :2cool:
I have to say that I don't miss the burnt flavor of my other atomizers.

But I would like the air flow a little easier to draw, might have to drill out the air inlet.:blink:
Now to rebuild my battery mod, the 510 connector I put on it isn't machined well enough so the threads slip.

Check and make sure that there's not any left over shavings obstructing the air holes. Just a thought, there was with mine.

I concur Robert, mine did too. So did the hole between the posts. I just took a drill bit and opened it enough to fit the wick snuggly so it wouldn't pull out when I take it apart for a wipe-down. Other than that, it works like a dream.

Can you say :GOOD BYE" to cartos, etc.! I did, and I'm "LOVIN EVERY MINUTE OF IT"

Teach deserves the credit as he came up with the 3ml bottle idea. I just found a way to mod a plastic bottle.

Don't forget to try changing the draw by loosening or tightening the top, that is probably the best part of this modification.

Whoever came up with it, it's a great idea. I am now using it - see below. As you said, the plastic definitely holds more juice. I didn't measure, but mine seems to hold between 2 and 3 ml. Great little improvement to the GLV.

Teach and I were a team on this, so glad you like it and thanks for posting the pic, I kept forgetting to do it.
Teach came up with idea of using a 3ml bottle. I found out the bottle didn't fit and just found a way to make it fit.
