4 coils... it's Zen's setup. Haven't messed with it yet. Can you put a paperclip through it while it's wrapped? I've pulse fired and burned juice off a ton.

I've done it. Just be careful. If you hit a snag, try gently to maneuver it down. If it doesn't want to go, don't force it.

Okay, I'm thinking the coil is fine... no metal taste. I just have to figure out how to get it wicking properly. If I hold it slightly tilted up when dragging, it's nice. Held regular, not so much! Definitely gotta figure out the wicking issue now that I've ruled out the coil. And man, when it hits good, it is soooo good! Gotta get it working properly all the time!

after vaping a couple of tanks while tilting it, the wick seasons a bit more, and the wicking will be better and no more need to tilt the pv... I had to do that with both my standard and mini, now not needing to at all...

I used a 20 ga. leur lock needle i had laying around....its about the same size as a small paperclip, approx.

Question for the Mini owners:

How many batteries do you go through a day? How many coil wraps are you running?

I'm running 5 wraps.

I've been working for 12 hours today and that means some serious chain vaping. I just read battery #2 at 3.8v. Not too shabby.

At 4 wraps I'd normally be into my 3rd battery by now.

today i'm on my 3rd battery...2nd tank in my mini, with 4 wraps...started around 11am, it's now 4am next day :p (I'm not including the fact I'm also vaping on my standard, and 2 provari's, all on their 2nd batteries as well......) oh, and good night / morning peeps...will bbl

Still hoping someone tells me the secret to filling a tank without the stuff shooting out of the wick.
Insert an 18 gauge needle into the fill hole and turn the Zenesis upside down so the bottom of the wick is exposed to nothing but air during the filling and rapidly squirt the juice in. You may get 1 or 2 drops come out the wick but it's sfa.

So what's the best mesh to use while using 50/50 PG/VG? I am having to vape it tipped up like Pchela with Vaporstation Texas which is either 50/50 or 60/40, not sure cuz the products page doesn't list the ratio. I have 5 coils with the 400 mesh right now.

Any suggestions?

vape a few tanks or more thru it before changing anything besides fiddling with it

The Zenesis is a one piece design so it is impossible to take apart. To remove the kick, just get a long thin needle-nose pliers and grab the kick by the positive post then pull it out :)

Got my zenesis two days ago and decided to put a kick in it.
Bad idea. It vapes great with a kick. But, I now have a kick I cannot
take out of the zenesis.
Can anybody tell me how to dismantle the genesis? Or is it impossible?

Landlord... I've been through maybe one full tank. I'm gonna keep at it... just not sure if I'm doing or have done something wrong. Thanks for all of the advice guys!

I know how much you do not want to hear this.... but I think you would benefit greatly from wrapping a 5 coil..... I think four might be burning your juice up too fast..... but I could be wrong....wouldn't be the first time..... lol...:p

Most are going to tell you to use 325 mesh.....and it works good...

I use 80-90% VG DIY juice.....and all of my genisis mods have 400 in them with no issues.

Just keep using it. Eventually it will start wicking well enough to not need to be tipped at all. Sometimes it can take a while. Sometimes you might actually be flooding the wick by tipping and the harsh hits are caused by too much juice. Give it a go and see what happens. Vape it bottom down for a handful of puffs and see if it smooths itself out.
