# 94 has made it home. need to change a couple things. 325 mesh and 3 coil instead of 4. Did that last night so far so good. I'll post a review and Video later. All I have to say now is this thing is top shelf. box and presitation is second to none. Just ordered 2 batteries. They 2600 mah and Panasonic. PANASONIC 18650 IMR LI-ION FLASHLIGHT BATTERY rechargeable lithium-Ion 3.7v | eBay. Our Father doesn't make many like Mike I do thank him for you and the integrity that has built in you. God speed man God speed. Keep your head up, as for me I am very pleased and am Very thankful! That box you put this in is the cherry on top.

Not sure why you'd go with the more expensive Panasonic IMR when Zen~ has made it clear the Zenesis was designed for the AW IMR.
To each their own, I suppose...
Vg for vapor production. Pg for throat hit and flavor.PANASONIC 18650 IMR LI-ION FLASHLIGHT BATTERY rechargeable lithium-Ion 3.7v | eBay. I got mine yesterday and after a few small adjustments and changes I am very pleased can't stress enough look at coils If they are not burning evenly a sure fire problem. Easily just nudge them around a bit and all will be glowing soon. Watch for shorts to top pin and bottom of tank. patience, my friend patience.
This is a high current battery and it fits superbly. I like them Ive used them in my lava tube, No problem and they last almost 3 days. That is a subjective opinion based no my vaping habits. 5-6 mills a day. Thank you for your concern but I am happy and to me that what counts.

I do have that battery and the one I suggested. I like the Panasonic better it lasts "me" longer everyone take my suggestion with a grain of salt. I did do the foot work on this battery and feel it is best for me.

I am pretty sure that the MAKER of the Zenesis recommends a certain battery for a reason. Not because he advertises for a certain battery or company nor does he make a profit from it. He designed the safety features and everything about the Zenesis around a particular battery. Why? Because that is what he considers the best battery as far as longevity, safety and numerous other things.
There will always be someone out there that think they no more then the maker and that is why there are accidents with people getting fingers, hands and faces blown up.
All we can do is advise, warn, and inform others but it is ultimately their decision.
When you go against the recommendation of the maker of the product then you do so at your own risk. Just don't come back on here later after something happens and say, I don't know what happened, because I am the type of person to tell you, I TOLD YOU SO.

yes, for the most part, that IS true.....but you'd be surprised to see how much vapor a zenesis pv can make, even with 100% pg, let alone MY 80/20 pg/vg..... and peeps HAVE seen me make mind blowing vapor clouds with it...
well last night blew for sure.
all of my genesis devices had issues. I suppose I had to go through this at some point. The inevitable "I want to quit" newbie night.
I guess we all should have seen it coming. As my friend Tina Turner once said "we do not like to do anything nice and easy"
I will prevail. I have no choice. This is the path I have chosen.
Have fun at the bashes. Wish I could be there to meet all of you. Bumpi, do not drink too much

To everybody jumping on Len for using the Callies Custom Panasonic IMR....
I have tested that battery extensively... I consider it a bad value for a variety of reasons.
1: The price is obscene
2: By my calculations and testing on a hobby charger, it is roughly equivalent to the AW 2000 mAh battery, which is slightly under rated. They are both about 2100 mAh... FYI, the old 1600mAh was about 1750mAh in reality.
3: We already know AW batteries are Panasonic, right? This battery appears to me to be a flatter top version of the cell that AW turns into the AW 2000 mAh battery... the difference is the positive post.
I have come to believe it is just as safe, and performs on par with the new AW 2000 mAh version. It is most certainly not better or higher capacity... AW takes the Panasonic battery and under rates it... Callies takes it an over rates it... it's all marketing.
I just can't see paying nearly 20 dollars shipped for what is essentially the same battery, that's my biggest objection.

LOL... I don't even get on the plane until 7:30 tonight... I'll be at the Hyatt by 9:30PM
there are a couple of places that sell the Panasonic cgr18650ch alot less than Callies Customs
Panasonic CGR18650CH 2250mAh - $7.99

this morning I am doing a little better (minus the broken standard of course)
I still cannot get the bottom coil to glow until well after the rest. It glows eventually, but not till much later.
any advice for that little coil specifically?

You're right in my backyard! I'm in St. Augustine!
Yes, not far at all. I'm in Palm Coast
One other reason I don't love the cgr18650ch is that there are many counterfeits of it out there... Callies is a known reliable source of genuine batteries.
I'm not saying the links you posted are fakes... I'm saying I don't know for certain that they are real... Caveat Emptor!
AWs are available from known and trusted resellers... that means a lot to me, and even if I save a couple bucks on a couple batteries, it's an extra few bucks per year... peace of mind has value.
I will NEVER understand why people take such an exception to buying quality batteries from known sources.
Is it touching the base somewhere between the post and the wick? Don't know if this matters or not, but when making my coils, I go from the bottom post up to the wick at an angle with my wire so it doesn't touch anything but the post and wick.
