Hey, just a general observation for you Zenfidels out there wondering why your juice is getting dark at the bottom of the tanks. I did some experimenting to find out why this is happening. Now at the verge of a nic OD I think I have the answer to why this happens with the Zenesis :)

It's actually nothing really bad or detrimental so nothing to worry about. The seemingly random darkening of the juice at the bottom of the tank is really not that random at all. This seems to occur more with 5 coils than with 4 coils but is completely normal. What is happening is that since Zen designed the Zenesis to run one battery per tank of liquid, and also designed a flowback hole so that you don't have to wipe the inside of the cap clear of condensation constantly the coils run just a little bit cooler at the end of the tank. This causes a darker color condensation because a minutely smaller amount of the juice is vaporized and therefore slightly more becomes carbonized and when the darker condensation runs back into the tank it turns the remaining juice darker.

If it really bothers you you can change the battery and refill when you've gone through about 3/4 of the tank minimizing the chance of developing the darkened juice condensate or you can just vape till it's empty and fill'er up with new juice and a fresh battery and charge it up again. After you've gone through a handful or so tanks of juice you should pull the tank and rinse it out anyway just to keep everything fresh and clean in your Zenesis so simply not paying attention to the darker juice and doing some minor maintenance from time to time is always a good idea, kinda like changing the oil in your car regularly. :)

That's interesting. And the darker juice doesn't really bother me.
I'm using 3 coils though, how does that make a difference, if at all?

day off for me. I have a big project. I am going to transfer all of the vendor juices I currently have in plastic bottles to glass.

question. Does ejuice have a expiration date? Is that the reason everyone puts the born date on the bottles? Just curious.

The general consensus is that eliquid should be used within one year........however, it is also believed that if it is kept in a dark cool place, it should be good much longer. The general belief is that, if stored correctly, the most that would happen is that the nic would lose some of it's potency over the long term. The only ingredient that might have the potential to 'go bad' is the flavoring. The nic might turn a little yellow, but it's not harmful.........

Of course, all this is a 'best guess' based on the ingredients in eliquids.......

PS......I don't make things up, I just repeat what I've read.......YMMV

With the hotter coil, if you get enough flow to not get burnt hits, it should be noticeably better, but you will notice a drop in run time on a battery because the lower resistance pulls more current from the battery :)

I have a difficult descision to make. Give up my spot on the TI list to get on the mini Ti list? Or wait for the black aluminum mini? Both will ship in August it appears. I do not currently have a mini. But I wannnnnnn-it. :D Of course the fun thing to suggest is just get one of everything and just stop paying other bills until the banks come after me . . . . . yep, tough choice :)

Zen, I have this sneaking suspicion that you are making all these product announcements together to find out just how much "disposable" income Ob can really find in a 6 month stretch - lol. The rest of us are just barely wheezing along trying to keep up! (nice job)

The bigger battery is better (BBB!)! The Ti Standard will be featherlight too. I guess it would all depend on your vaping style. If you chain vape, the Standard is the way to go.

I would get the Ti Standard and wait for the Alumizen. You still get a Ti AND a Mini. :) Just my worthless Opinion. :D

he is killing me. you do not even know the half of it :)

I am actually considering passing on my first zenesis product, the alumizen. I have my reasons. I do love the black however so it is not an easy decision.
