Do you get more vapor with 0.16 and higher ohms?


I can only tell you my expierience with 0.16 at 1.8 and 2.2 Ohm. There is not much difference for me.
The only thing I noticed was that when I vape the Genisis real hot the vapor production decreases.
At one point I looked to the wick to see if it was cloged up but it was still ok. I also noticed some liquid pooled in the middel part.
At the German site I then found out that is was condensation. I cleanded that out and the vapor production was back to normal.
Dont know if it was due to removing the condensat or just the fact that the Genisis cooled down in the time of cleaning.

I have an unused Genesis Maxi coming. I really want a Line v2 (*ahem* if anyone has one they want to part with....) - and a lot of people say the v2 is better because of the smaller chamber size. I was wondering if anyone has tried to reduce the chamber size of the maxi. I was thinking of finding a stainless steel tube the same size as the line v2 chamber and putting it inside of the maxi chamber.
Any thoughts on this?

The vapor production was restored mostly by clearing out the condensation for sure. When there is too accumulated condensation then the vapor is grabbed by the cooler fluid and so less vapor is available at the mouthpiece. Some vapor production is lost to overheating, but more is lost to condensation.

Hey sorry if this has been asked or mentioned before but... on the genesis maxi.. since there is a fill hole in the cap threads and an air hole in the cap itself.. what is the teeny tiny hole for next to the coil posts? Seems too small to be a fill hole and an odd place for an air hole (above the tank?)
Just curious - thanks!

That's exactly what it is an air hole to equalize the pressure in the tank and not create a vacuum that would restrict wicking and has the added benefit of allowing over flooded juice back to the tank. The Line V2 has it also and is a good improvement.

Ah, duh. This makes perfect sense, awesome. Thanks!

Another quick question.. when using 100% VG and 325 mesh... should I start with a rectangle size smaller than 38mm x 24mm? I'm just basing this on wicking issues I had with the Scubagen.
Sorry if this has been asked... I couldn't find much when I searched..

I would really like to stray away from thinning VG if I can.

I should be setting up the Maxi when I get home today, I can't wait!

I use only 400 mesh with 100% vg. There is a lab experiment somewhere in ECF proving 400 wicks 3 times more than 325 mesh with 100%VG. I also roll the most mesh I can get into a wick, I use a 40mm x 45mm rectangle for my Line v2, This makes a 2mm dia wick this gives great capillary action. By the way I normally vape 2.8 ohms at 5 to 6 volts use 32 awg and vape over 5ml a day. Many people confuse wicking (capillary) with draining like a straw, which is what 325 does. So if a narrow capillary tube will draw a liquid column higher than a wide tube it is just physics that 400 mesh will raise liquid higher than 325. The thickness of the juice is irrelevant to capillary action until you reach the limit, which would be smaller than the molecular size of the liquid. Actually a 500 mesh would be even better with 100% VG.
