Genisis question

[Eliteedge_7]

What size hole seems to work best for the ss mess, I am making a couple attys and was curious if there was a standard size everyone used.

THAT really is going to vary with the viscosity of the juice you typically use. The thicker the juice is, the larger the openings would need to be, to get adequate flow to the atty coil. Thinner juices would do better with smaller openings.

This is probably a good opportunity for you to experiment a bit and see what is going to work best for your juice diet.

Ok that is exactly what I needed to know, thank you much

I use 2.4 mm or. 094 drill for them

thank you so much, that will give me a great base line to start with. I know there are not a ton of genisis users out there, but boy the ones who do use them are full of great info.

I'm using 2mm holes with good success and juices 30% PG 70% VG, providing that there is also an extra hole to let the air inside the tank.

The hole diameter for the wick depends on power. If you use just eGo batteries, wick diameter in my opinion should be about 1.5 mm with mesh width about 13 mm. If you use a fully charged li-ion battery, with its voltage about 3.6 volts, you should drill a hole for wick with 2.0 - 2.5 mm diameter. Anyway the hole for the wick should have a space for air feedback. So you have to drill holes 2.0 - 2.8 mm.

Like has been mentioned, there are variables that will influence what's needed. I read one time that adding 40% of the diameter of your wick to the hole size should get you there. I found it to be a little too big and keep my holes at 2-2.5mm for my preference of 65/35 liquid at about 9w. Start on the small side and open it until you find yours. Also the distance that the wick travels through the hole, from my experience, can effect wicking.

I usually cut the hole so the wick slips in easily - smaller, like the line style, just adjust to the size of the mod. Do make sure its not making an electrical connection - on SS just use a non conductive sleve that isn't tight.

As far as the juice, I use 100% VG and have never had a wicking problem using 400 mesh.
