House of Hybrids featuring the Zenesis PV

[*ASH*]

My goodness Ash, you really needed to sleep!!

I feel I need full month of sleep

I have a 3 1/2 year old and a 10 week old. The next time I get to spend 14 hours in bed I'll be dead

That really a good news OMG , My baby will be here in like 1 month and half is that mean I will miss the bed

Lorderos, I thought pinching the top ensured no flooding? Sorry - total noobage here.

 

[emonty]

I never pinch my genny!

On the topic of torches. Anyone successfully use propane torches (i.e. canister type used for sweating pipes, etc)? I've seen some comments that people feel they may be too hot, but it would seem this could be easily controlled based on where the wick is held to the flame, etc... Anyone have any success or failure using one for wicks?

I know the mini will come with enough to last quite some time, but curiosity is killing this cat.

They work just fine, mine is even hotter than that, I'm using a Burnzomatic Surefire Propylene torch these days. You just have to work fast so as not to disintegrate the mesh.

Opened up the top and swapped that batt (3.5v) to a fresh one at 4.1v and it is hitting strong plus more flavor coming through all the time. After all the tweaking I think im good to go again and I'm gonna just vape it. LOL.


Thanks again all.

I would have posted this in the tips and triks, but it was too long and nad to be broken up into too many pieces

I added it to the Tip and Tricks thread, with a link to your post here. That should work. Great post, BTW, lorderos!

It's ok. Vic will answer my coil question when she catches up

No. not at all, it slows down wicking performance. If the wick is flooding it is because it is so dirty that it is working like a straw instead of a wick.

and what a catch up it was from overnight.
From my limited experience though the coil would not stay tight and it may be finicky trying to get it in and attached

 

[lorderos33]

Finally getting back in business.

Someone with experience. Is this coil good? Is the top loop too loose? Should I just vape it? It seems a bit harsh so far but I *just* wrapped it. This is a new coil and wick.

The top and bottom coils are too loose.

I am 49 today, next year is AARP time, crap.......

Happy Birthday, Ripple!

Thank you! I may see increased flavor performance now.... Just took a drag. HOLY CRAP. Yes I notice better flavor.

and re-oxidizing will clean it?

Ok, time for some real PV porn...
I got sick of knowing that I had a pv made of the best ss money can buy with such a mediocre finish, so I spent the past few hours posted at the buffing wheel polishing my Zenesis Standard #0078! I also modified my airflow hole to 5/64" and added a slight bevel (which I think is aesthetically pleasing as well as cuts down on the whistling noise when you take hard pulls from it". Running 4 wraps of 30g kanthal a-1 with some 400 mesh, and this baby is vaping like a cannon! Also should mention that I polished very internal component of the switch, including the washers and magnets. Hope everyone thinks it's as sexy as I do...

that's a righteous shine, hahaa..i would wait until I have 2 zenesis before trying to do this to one of them. i like to vape while i work.

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Are there any Zenifieds here in NH? I can't remember. I'd love to meet up and learn how to make wicks and coils once my ASh arrives.

Chris

Isn't there an upstate NY meet?

Not THAT bad of a drive to Buffalo/Rochester from NH!

vic, I started a thread for him as well in the main "tips and tricks" area of this forum.

Morning, my man! I asked that SAME question...hundreds of pages back and was told "because it's easier to wrap the coil when the wick is installed" and "it only takes a few seconds to wrap an installed wick."

MY thinking was, (for traveling, mostly) I could roll and oxidize a bunch of wicks, wrap the coils, stick them in a case and when needed, just stick them in the Zenesis. I have never tried it though. I may pre-wrap a coil on a wick the next time I change mine out...just to see what happens. I'm adventurous!

Afternoon all.

this thread reminds me of a cool parking lot outside of a concert. a genesis atty is the opening band, zenesis is the headliner.
