I think its like most other vendors, you'll get a shipping notification when he prints out the postage labels. So you'll probably get a notification before they even end up at the post office. My guess is they didn't got out today.

Anyone hear if the Minis made it out today? No notification here and order status still says new, but not sure when the site gets updated compared to physical shipping..

That was my assumption too, but I know where that typically gets me.
Fingers are crossed that it ships in time to get here before I leave town for a bit after next weekend.

I spent several hours comparing various lubes and came to the conclusion that I don't care anymore.

#1 Some lubes are toxic (Moly), don't use them.

#2 Some lubes will destroy rubber orings if they are petro-based, silicone grease will swell a silicone oring, but I don't care because I don't plan on using it on my orings because it's not a flashlight.

#3 Some lubes will gunk and attract dirt, some will change color and stain, others have anti rust nitrates that increase wear potential on Ti See #1

#4 Some lubes are better on Aluminum, some are better for Titanium, most are fine on Stainless Steel.

#5 The better ones are overpriced and I question the veracity of the hyperbole surrounding how much better they are lacking any real empirical data to justify why the stuff sells for $25 a gram.

For me I will keep using ProGold because it's thin, doesn't attract dirt or grime, doesn't change color or stain, & I already bought another ProGold Pen for $1 ebay (I stole it in an auction) and I can't seem to rationalize why something more viscous would be ideal when you have to replace batteries frequently and you will likely get a gunked up mixture of dirt, metal particles, and debris that will likley be more problematic to deal with, clean, and maintain.










PS: I really need to get a life and/or get laid.
seriously, do we really need lubes? Or can we just vape it?

here's a quick report from the front lines... I posted yesterday that my Zenesis was having wicking and flavor issues. So I changed the wick and coil. The wicking seemed a bit better, but the flavor seemed very muted. While reading through Stormie's post, I was pondering my own flavor issue. It occurred to me that I had kinked off the top of the original wick on initial setup. I used fingernail clippers to cut the new wick, and called it good.

The ideas to put a paperclip through the wick gave me an idea that maybe the wick is a little too blocked off, so I popped the cap, and gave the top of the wick a pinch to open it up a bit. I THINK I got an immediate increase in flavor. It could be hopeful thinking, as I'm currently rocking Teaberry Shuffle, and it's a strong taste anyway. I'll keep you posted, but the 'ol Ti seems to be a bit happier! Hope hope!

Glad to hear its running good filli might have to order some teaberry shuffle i got the other day raspberry bacco its nice keep vaping :vapor:

This is not working for me :( I've been at this for a week and its not working for me. It hates me :( I am stupid I guess.


You're not stupid, just new to the Genisis. It is a different creature and takes time to master. What problem(s) are you having that make you feel it's not working. Let me know and I'll do my best to help you out.

The pic is not big enough to see clearly, but the coil looks very good. The wick looks like it is pinched shut on the top. Open that up and it will help. Also, bake between 2 and 3 o'clock position with the wick and air inlet pointed at the floor till it is wicking well enough to be able to hold it at a more normal angle.

The wick being pinched shut on top has very detrimental effects on wicking performance.
