wasnt meant to be mean...I know he hasnt gotten a unit yet, I was only being a wise ..., I put a smiley at the end lol...

Jeez Shai... Who took a dump in your wheaties last night?

Had you considered that he doesn't have one to measure yet? Lol

His will arrive today like many others and he's arming himself with information so it can be smooth sailing! And in case you didn't notice, the rather contrived appearing Q and A between he and I could have possibly been a little well planned theatre to act as a refresher so when people start getting their PVs today the setup info is close at hand in the thread in a more condensed and concise format than spread out through the thread!

In either case... Let's not jump down his throat... That's not the kind of throat hit ANYBODY likes!

no worries from me bro....I dont get mad easily, and I do love to push buttons now and then, all in fun, but, not to be a jerk... typing out quotes isn't the same as saying it in person, as you have well put earlier bud :)

by the way, just for those watching, it was not me who sent that PM :)

just saying. I do not want shaitaan getting all up in my grill :) Kidding buddy! I said that because I see you floating around on the thread......

I just completed a long response to a great supporter of the Zenesis PV... he was asking about where we are at with the switch upgrades, and I more or less vented on him... which he really didn't deserve because nobody has any clue what is going on behind the scenes regarding this issue... and that's entirely my fault...

Just so he doesn't feel singled out, I've decided to share the situation with everybody, because if you don't know what's happening, that's because I failed to keep you in the loop...

He was asking me to send parts, which is what I originally said I would do... until it was discovered that there is a teeeeeeeeny tolerance issue to be dealt with... that's when I decided I am going to build entirely new switch assembly's and ship them complete and fully tested. For those that cannot wait... I have offered to have the PV shipped back and I will repair it then return it, that way I will know if everything will function.

The bottom line is I have no idea if the switch button will even FIT your housing... The ever so slightly loose tolerances on the original didn't point out that about 25% of the housings were under by a couple thousandths, and if I send you a button that won't fit I continue to FURTHER enhance the bank account of the post office.

My plan is to get in the switch housings and build full replacement switches. When that's done... ship people one package with a return mailer... do you all realize that's over $1000.00 in postage alone for the round trip? Replacement buttons were 1500.00... Magnet Replacements for the new switch configuration... another 300.00...Replacement Tanks... hold onto your hat... 400.00...

that's 3200 bucks... for a couple of little errors... it works out to $32.00 per Febbie... (by the way, I totally botched the math when I sent it to him... these are the corrected numbers, but it's still bad)

Haste is making waste at break-neck speed here.

All things considered, I've kept a pretty even keel here considering the issues... I have received hate mail about this stuff too... really venomous hate...

If people are in a hurry, and really want things sooner, send me the PV... I will fix it and it will be right.

If you don't wish to send it, I cannot continue to keep hemorrhaging money and we can deal with it when I have ALL the parts to complete ALL the upgrades.

I tried this out... it has been a catastrophe, and my only hope for survival in the endeavor is to press on regardless... and so far pretty fair percentage of the payment requests for march have gone unanswered... I'll need to close the door on those and notify the next group that those PVs are available... I've lost a fortune so far and it's not getting better.

I'm sorry.

Zen!!!! I'm here send me payment request. Pm me please. I'm ready, pls pls pls. Pm you before but no reply, guess your too busy. So here I am patiently waiting......

I got my Zenisis today!!!! Whooo! Filled up the tank right away let it sit for 10 minutes. Now, how long does it take for the juice to wick? I am getting dry hits. Any help for an experienced Zenesis user would be very much appreciated. The craftsmanship on the Zenesis is immaculate! Very well done, thanks Zen.

I'm a notoriously impatient person, but why anyone would feel the need to harrass Zen~ over things clearly beyond his control baffles me. The near daily updates on the progress of making the Zenesis an even better product than the one I signed up for just make me even more excited to get my hands on this thing once it's actually ready.

I know it's the internet but acting like an ...... isn't compulsory.

I almost hate to post this - but I just can't seem to overcome my problems with my Zenesis.

I finally got it to fire consistently with Zen's 'cut up o-ring' method, but am still getting nothing but dry, burnt tasting hits.

I've tried 5 or 6 different wicks, and a dozen or more coils. I'm fairly certain I have no shorts. My juice is 50/50 and just does not want to wick. If I drip or turn the PV upside down, I can sometimes get one good hit, but then it's back to burnt taste.

I've been struggling with this for about 3 weeks now (I'm a Febbie) and it is frustrating me to no end. Especially when I read this thread every day and see all the satisfied Zenesis owners - what the heck am I doing wrong??

tiping and pulsing the button helps get the wick wicking and everything broke in

Yup, tried it.

Sorry you're having issues... still... post a pic of your coil firing as close up as you can get it and take it from two side angles... make sure I can see the bottom of the wick too... post that in the group area... I've had so many people say the coil is fine, and I can spot the shorts in a photo... use the 400 wick unless you're using HIGH VG juice.

Hang in there, my friend... these do work... some people can take a handgun and hit the bulls eye on the first shot... others practice for a bit before they even hit the target, while still others look at the gun and say "wow... this gun really sucks".

Perspective is everything.

and practice!!! The more you do something the better you will be.... just rolled a new wick and put a perfect coil on this morning in 5 minutes total time. Held upside for 2-3 mins full blast and it's been hitting like a dream ever since. Gunked up the last wick pretty good after bout 50 tanks. 50 tanks!!!!!! Hell id have to clean my ce2's after 5 mls!!! Lol.

I was a total dunce when i first got my zenesis and ruined 3 or 4 wicks before zen posted his video. No experience to being a master in less than a month. So easy a caveman could do it!!:facepalm: Zen really gave us a device that is easy to master it just takes time. If i had the money i would be buying as many of these as i could

*pouty face* Originally my tracking said I'd have my mini today but now it says tomorrow... but my mini is in Austin! Boo!

Mine is stuck somewhere in between my PO and the SLC sorting facility... USPS is batting 1.000 this year when it comes to missing their "Expected Delivery" dates. I expected it though...

guess what is coming to a certain someone today?

I will officially be official by tonight.

Then I can start with my annoying questions :) Kidding. All the questions you have had, have helped me to learn and have patience. I guess that was the good thing about being a marchie.

I guess I will have to disband the support group :(. well maybe not :)

Im still in the dunce stage, wish I could say 4 to 5 coil and wicks. more like 10 mesh and can't count coils. I have several of the competators atomizers that i can set up easily so Im not sure what my problem is. I'll keep trying and when i had enough i just set it aside till im ready again. I do have switch problems that does make it harder to diagnos.

I know this. Some nail it right away. some it takes time. Everyone that sticks with it, does figure it out at some point.
